In the specific case of the Metro Bank, the particular gains materialized in the creation of a distinctive character for the bank office, improved morale and pride among the employees. "The new spirit carried over to the treatment of customers, and together with the increased competence provided by cross-training, it resulted in faster and better service to customers" (Metro Bank Case)
New Understandings about the Relationship between Legal and Ethical Guidelines Finally, I have learned that our profession is highly regulated by various agencies and by legal concepts and principles that have far-reaching ramifications if they are not followed. It is not enough to comply with rules, regulations, and protocols only in the technical sense; we must make a genuine effort to comply in goof faith and to further the underlying purposes and interests of the regulations and protocols that govern our chosen profession (Beauchamp & Childress, 2009)
I have also encountered a type of complacency and lack of attention to detail that seems to be a function of routine exposure. In that regard, it seems that the constant exposure to the same types of patient issues and situations can have a desensitizing effect on some healthcare providers and that it may be difficult for some of them to maintain the same level of concern and care because of the sheer volume of patients we see over the course of a career (Hamric, Spross, & Hanson, 2009)
Under the current approach, the cost of medical services continually increases, precisely because the private health insurance industry has no real competition, such as from a "public option" once promoted by President Obama (Reid, 2009). Closely connected to that is the tremendous influence of healthcare lobbyists in Washington (Kennedy, 2006)
I intend to make every effort to avoid lapsing into that type of attitude in my career. Useful Knowledge and Insights to Advance American Healthcare I have come to the conclusion that the way we provide healthcare in the United States is substantially inferior to the way that many other nations do, particularly those with national healthcare systems, such as the United Kingdom and Canada, to mention just a few (Reid, 2009)
As I age, I feel my looks changing, my body changing, and my life changing, and this adds to a lack of self-esteem. One author notes, "Alcoff begins her critique with the premise that race and gender constitute visible identities that determine how one perceives and is perceived by others, making these visual identity markers particularly powerful and impossible to simply explain away or ignore" (Droogsma, 2006)
Others actually dispute the concept of the self, and believe that it has evolved into a concept that can create a false sense of self in some people. In fact, some psychologists and philosophers define the concept of "the self" depends on the relationship between "the self" and another (Mooney, 2008)
However, there are many concepts of the self, from early philosophers to modern outlooks. One author notes, "The modern development is represented by Locke's picture of the self as a dark room where nothing but images are projected within through windows out of which the self cannot see, the intelligible light of the sun being kept out" (Tkacz, 2006)
This will encourage 'buy in' in terms of any changes of policy and will ensure staff members become committed to any changes which must transpire. The core elements of leadership are often referred to as influence, empowerment, creating a viable process, and fostering an inner circle (Adamek, 2007)
Personal Reflection on Transition to Nursing Transition is a difficult period for amateur nursing graduates (NGs), many of whom are making their first move to qualified clinical practice within the hospital surroundings (Duchscher, 2008)
New nurses usually associate their first career experiences in terms of the emotions of anxiety, lack of self-belief, insecurity, tension and unsteadiness. Transition shock is a result of stress which is basically linked to the multi-faceted tasks related with the new responsibilities and to administrative, communication, and clinical skills shortages (Maria & Billy, 2007)
I took note of a number of aspects that could have contributed to the group's success and exemplary performance. To begin with, the small size of the group made it easier for members to schedule meetings, interact effectively, and seek clarification whenever they encountered challenges (Corey et al
First, it is compatible with the way I already approach leadership. For the most part, my leadership approach fits within the democratic school (Cherry, 2016), but the transactional-transitional line is about organizational outcomes, not the way someone leads
Ultimately, the fit between the leadership style has to be both with the leader and with the organization. There have been arguments posited that fit matters -- one leadership style does not rule all, and that organizational characteristics matter (Faleye, 2007)
The other style that I reject -- and this is more a matter of personal taste than one based on evidence that it is genuinely inferior -- is bureaucratic leadership. Bureaucratic leadership has been defined as one that emphasizes the creation of rules that followers must follow, as a means of ensuring that the followers are pursuing the organization's objectives (Krause & O'Connell, 2011)
I would need to engage them, so that when I allowed them to turn their resources towards the direction of the organization change, that they were on board. This can be difficult, but ultimately organizational change literature supports the idea that any leader -- regardless of leadership style -- needs to bring about organizational buy-in prior as an antecedent to successful organizational change (Stauffer, 2008)
