Answer in question/ Answer format

Each part needs to be at least 500 words.

The content on leadership theories and how they impact organizations is helpful in identifying your leadership style. For this discussion, read the assigned articles for this module and conduct your own additional research to answer the following questions.

Respond to the following:

  • Identify and summarize the key components of the leadership style with which you feel most aligned. Note that it could be a variation or combination of the leadership styles addressed in this module.
  • Specify which character traits you have that fit with this leadership style and which traits you want to develop to be a more effective leader.
  • Describe which style of leader you work best under and why.

M4D2: Implementing Effective Leadership Part 2

You have now identified the leadership style with which you most relate, the associated character traits you possess, and those you wish to develop. You have also read the first half of Lean In. In this discussion, you will move from theory to application by discussing how to employ your leadership style in the public sector.

You are part of the leadership team of a public organization. Keeping in mind the leadership theory and character traits you identified for yourself in M4D1 and the material from Chapter 3 of Lean In, choose one of the following scenarios for this discussion. Consider how you would address the situation if one of your female subordinates expressed to you:

  1. Her fear of things backfiring if she tries to negotiate a higher salary or ask for a promotion by highlighting her recent successes for the organization.
  2. Her reluctance to “toot her own horn” to the leadership team about a recent prestigious award she received from her alma mater.
  3. Her desire to refuse an assignment to mentor a new manager after her boss said he thought she would love to be a mentor “because you’re a nurturer, you know, since you’re a woman.”

Respond to the following:

  • Describe what you would do both at the organizational level and one-on-one in working with your female subordinate regarding this issue.
  • Explain how the action you described aligns with or does not align with your leadership style and character traits.

Describe the role of stakeholders (staff, donors, and consumers) in facility planning and development.

  • Define the management team by drafting an organizational chart and a plan for hiring employees.
  • Draft the key employee policies and a code of ethics.
  • Provide the details on the workplace environment, the location of the business, and the facilities necessary to operate the business. If a virtual component is a part of the workplace, explain how that is going to be incorporated.
  • Describe the supply chain of the venture, with its main components and its management approach.
  • Describe the manufacturing or customer service processes, discussing economies of scale and plans for attaining those economies (if applicable).
  • Discuss significant innovations related to the delivery process, production (if applicable), inventory management (if applicable), and distribution.
  • Describe methods to define and ensure the quality of the products or services.
  • Discuss laws impacting the business and methods for compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws.Create a 700- to 1,050-word visual timeline that represents the evolution of health care facility design since the 1930s. Include the following in your timeline:
    • Differentiate the types of health care facilities.
    • Describe the role of stakeholders (staff, donors, and consumers) in facility planning and development.

    Note: A visual timeline is a timeline that includes pictures and additional graphics. Timelines can be created as horizontal chart or a vertical chart in a Microsoft® Word document. You can use your internet browser to research a visual timeline templates.

Analyzing Health Care Decision Making

Deliverable Length:  3-5 pages   

APA: Deliverable is cited properly according to the APA Publication Manual (6th ed.).

A number of quantitative methods are utilized to make decisions and recommendations in health care. Quantitative methods are used to analyze and predict the demand for patient services, to determine capital expenditures for facility and technology enhancements, and to guide the manager in implementing quality controls. Whether or not you are familiar with quantitative methodologies, as a manager, you are responsible for the outcomes of implementing the decision based on the method used.

Your agency or institution has noted a negative trend in profitability for a diagnostic imaging cost center over the past 4 quarters.

As a manager, you need to make some recommendations to take to your board of directors to reverse the negative trend. Your first priority is to find a quantitative method to help you in making decisions. Complete the following:

  • Choose a quantitative method (e.g., the decision tree model).
  • Describe the model that you are using.
  • Outline at least 4 proposed solutions to your board of directors, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each with regard to return on investment, break-even analysis, improvement in patient demand, improved patient safety and quality, and so forth.
  • Summarize how the decision-making method helped you make objective recommendations to your board of directors.

Guidelines for the Capstone Research Paper

The Capstone Research Project Paper is a critical analysis of an issue relevant to the role of the health administrator. In this analytical research paper, students will complete research to become enmeshed in a topic so that they may restructure and present the multi-faceted views and knowledge of the topic from their own perspective.

1.Students are to complete an analytical research paper of publishable quality focusing on either a current systems issue, a clinical issue, an organizational issue, or a policy issue in healthcare. The following descriptions of issues in healthcare are provided as a frame of reference.

Descriptions of Issues in Healthcare

Systems issues -Features of health services systems that affect the inter-relationship among providers, institutions, and patient populations

Clinical issues -Characteristics of provider and patients and combinations of resources employed in practice settings that affect the process and outcome of care

Organizational issues -Organizational and administrative features of healthcare facilities or systems

Policy –Regulations and protocols that shape the health services system and define its societal functions

2.Students must get approval of their research topic selection from the course faculty PRIOR to beginning the project. This will be accomplished by the submission of a 1-2 page paper outline by Week 3 of the course. The outline will follow appropriate APA format including an appropriate title page and properly formatted reference page. The outline and final project paper will be submitted through Turnitin from the Canvaslink.

3.A title should be selected for the paper that is reflective of the selected issue. The final project paper should be eight pages in length, not to exceed 10 pages, excluding the title and reference pages. The paper will follow appropriate APA format including an appropriate title page and a properly formatted reference page. Page margins should be 1 inch all around. Acceptable fonts are 12 pt Times Roman, Arial, or Calibri.

4.The Research Paper will include the following sections. Students must use the following headings for each section.

Identification of the issue–This section of the paper will identify the issue and any influence factors. It should also address why this issue should be researched.

Background–Students will use this section of the paper to build the foundation for the project. It should include a discussion of the current status of the issue or trend. Both the status of the issue for the student’s current state as well as current national status of the issue should be addressed. The final component of this section should address current impact of this issue on the role of the health administrator.

Problem Analysis/Literature Review–The problem analysis is based on a critical review of published literature,the theories typically used to frame research on the subject area, knowledge available and research methods used with what degree of success. Select at least five research studies from peer-reviewed journals in the field that relate to the topic issue.Students will discuss current research findings related to the issue. The discussion should be more than a summary of the articles. It should be a critical analysis of the research. This review should provide support for selection of the current issue.

Discussion–This section should address limitations of the current research. Because all research has its limitations, it is important to discuss the limitations of the research articles under examination.

Proposed Solutions–This section should address proposed solutions to the correct, address, or bring attention to the selected issue. Although transformational thinking is encouraged, rational solutions should be proposed. This section should also address how the role of the health administrator will be altered based on the solutions proposed.

Conclusions–The conclusion restates the problem the paper addresses and summarizes the writer’s thoughts on the selected issue. This section also offers areas for further study.

Christian Worldview -The last part of the paper should also address how your Christian worldview perspective impacts or frames the issues presented in the paper.
