LEARNING OUTCOMES
DEFINE A GROUP
2017
3
A group is a social community, consisting of two or more people who have something in common.
E.g. many sales “teams” are groups.  A sales person wins commission based on his/her own sales, and is not affected by the performance of other sales people.
Groups

THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF GROUPS IN HEALTHCARE ORGANISATIONS
Examples:
Informal groups
Work groups
Teams
committees
WHAT ARE GROUP DYNAMICS?
2017
5
Kurt Lewin, a social psychologist and change management expert, is credited with coining the term “group dynamics” in the early 1940s.
“Group dynamics” describes the effects of the roles and behaviors people often take on when they work in a group.
DEFINE A TEAM
2017
6
A team is a group in which the commonality is a shared goal.  This in itself creates a dynamic between team members because they are dependent on each other for success.
Huber (2010)
Example: a sports team wins or loses as a whole.
WHAT ARE TEAM DYNAMICS?
2017
7
Team dynamics are the unconscious, psychological forces that influence the direction of a team’s behaviour and performance.
An effective facilitator manages team dynamics by encouraging the people to stay on the task and continue towards its objectives.

IMPORTANCE OF TEAM WORK
SUCCESSFUL TEAMS SHARE SEVERAL DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS
2017
11
1. Everyone on the team talks and listens in roughly equal measure, keeping contributions short and sweet.
2. Members face one another, and their conversations and gestures are energetic.
3. Members connect directly with one another—not just with the team leader.
4. Members carry on back-channel or side conversations within the team.
5. Members periodically break, go exploring outside the team, and bring information back.

TOOLS TO IMPROVE TEAM PERFORMANCE
SURVEY: Team effectiveness questionnaires
Simple questions are often the most productive – asking questions about actions & behaviours that all team members can readily recognise & comment about.
Here’s a short example:
What in your words are the aims & objectives of the team?
How well in your view is the team doing?
One thing the team should keep doing?
One thing the team should stop doing?
One thing the team should start doing?

APPLY TEAMWORK IN THE WORKPLACE
Support: Teams create an environment of support, boosting the confidence of individuals, allowing people to do their best.
Helping someone: If one is weak, others can support or handle the work – so, it usually builds up power-resource for the organization.
Huber (2010)

APPLY TEAMWORK IN THE WORKPLACE
Common goal: People work in harmony, create positive team environment, help and support each other and delegate tasks/duties; the more they learn and step away to become better workers in their own jobs.
Communication and cooperation: Teams can create better communication and respectful relationships among employees.
Huber (2010)

CONCLUSION
True team require a great deal of developmental time and efforts but are capable of moving the collective performance of a group to a higher level.

Pharmacotherapy For Endocrine And Musculoskeletal Disorders

Discussion:
Pharmacotherapy For Endocrine And Musculoskeletal Disorders
APA style with citation, needs 3 credible sources reference not later than 2013.
Discussion
Patients with endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders often require long-term treatment and care resulting in the need for extensive patient education. By appropriately educating patients, advanced practice nurses can assist patients with the management of their disorders. In clinical settings, patients with endocrine and musculoskeletal disorders typically seek treatment for symptoms that pose problems to their everyday lives as ordinary tasks may become difficult to complete. For instance, patients might have difficulty walking short distances, preparing meals, or even running errands. To reduce these symptoms and additional health risks, it is essential to develop drug therapy plans with individual patient factors in mind.

To prepare:
  • -Select one of the following endocrine or musculoskeletal disorders: thyroid disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis, gout, multiple sclerosis, or fibromyalgia. Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with this disorder.
  • -Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how this factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Post a description of the endocrine or musculoskeletal disorder you selected including types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat associated symptoms. Then, explain how the factor you selected might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce negative side effects.

Analyze various companies’ mission or organizational vision statements to determine how such statements guide leadership practices within an organization.

/in /by

Discussion
This assignment asks you to analyze various companies’ mission or organizational vision statements to determine how such statements guide leadership practices within an organization.
Select a mission statement or organizational vision statement from one company that professes to practice servant leadership and one that practices a standard leadership model. Some well-known companies that practice servant leadership are Southwest Airlines, REI, and Aflac. Conduct additional research to locate others.
Once you have selected two companies, write a 1,000-1,250 word analysis that addresses the following:

  1. Compare and contrast the mission and/or organizational visions statements of the two companies. What are the similarities and differences? How do you think these statements impact the culture of each organization?
  2. What servant leadership principles or values are either explicitly or implicitly apparent in the mission/vision statement of the company that professes to be servant-led?
  3. Explain how you see the principles expressed in the statements manifested in each company’s public reputation, and how they treat their employees in the services they provide, their marketing, etc. Provide a few specific examples to demonstrate your points.
  4. Do you think each company is living out the values/principles expressed in their statements? Why or why not? If the more traditionally led company adopted a servant leadership model, what revisions to their mission/values statement would be warranted? Be sure to comment on your understanding of how such mission/vision statements can or should guide a company’s treatment of its employees and clients.

Include the mission or organizational vision statements of the companies you selected in your analysis.
You are required to locate four articles that support your selected organization’s mission or vision statement. Two of the selected articles must be peer reviewed journal articles. Include information from the articles in your discussion. (Vision Statement and Company name Nordstom) : Our purpose  is to empower  the  young minds for our  servant  leadership. The task is to focus and allow our leaders to help us achieve  our goals. Also to innovative our thinking for today’s and tomorrow culture and  opportunties.
