You are to define the steps you would use to develop an effective huddle for the study group. This initial post is due by Thursday.

Group 2:   You are to develop an agenda with at least five items the group will cover during each study group huddle. This initial post is due by Thursday.

By Sunday: respond to your group AND the other group with suggestions or questions related to the study group huddle.

Scenario:

You work for Metro Health System, an integrated healthcare system based in the upper Midwest that serves 25 hospitals, 142 primary and specialty care clinics, 15 senior living facilities in addition to regional home care and hospice, home medical equipment outlets and more. As the flagship facility of Metro Health System, Metro Health One is a full-service, acute-care hospital offering emergency care, orthopedics, general surgery, women’s health, labor and delivery, gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology, intensive care and other medical and surgical services. As a new employee continuing your education, you have been enrolled in Metro Health One’s student internship program. This program is specifically designed to introduce you to Metro Health’s culture and values while completing your college training.

The program, led by Angie Nelson, CEO, instills team cohesiveness by teaching effective communication skills and employee involvement. Upon taking over the helm in 2010, Ms. Nelson adopted the IHI’s Daily Huddle guidelines for effective daily meetings. These started on the nursing units and segmented to every department in the system of care. Angie states, “information is distributed in an easy-to-understand format, with valuable team input, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency.”

Because you are the first group participating in the internship program, you and your partners have been selected to implement huddles as a study group daily activity. Using the IHI Daily Huddle Tool Kit concepts, as a guide, apply them to your study group development.

Your assigned focus is a STUDY Group:

Your Goal: To attain a grade of “B” in all courses this term.
Group 1: you are to define the steps you would use to develop an effective huddle for the study group.
Group 2: you are to develop an agenda with at least five items the group will cover during each study group huddle.

Suggestions of what to include in your study huddles AND see the rubric for grading criteria.

1. Determine the time of day for your 15-minute study huddle.
2. Develop an agenda
3. Develop ground rules: What can be discussed now, and what is appropriate for another time? Plan how that will be handled.
4. Develop a PDSA plan for implementation.
5. How will you measure success?  
6. Identify a method to include each member in the collaboration of the assignment.
   Keep in mind this is a STUDY group huddle, NOT a patient huddle

Human services professionals who focus on rectifying human rights violations, social problems, mental health, or welfare needs often do so on a national and international level. In the national and international sphere, there is a great need for social change agents, leaders, and advocates on behalf of human rights, as well as for other issues. Attempting to address these issues at the national and international levels presents a unique set of challenges for human services professionals. 

To prepare:

• Select one national and one international challenge related to human and social services professions and/or the roles and responsibilities of human and social services professionals anywhere in the world. These should be challenges you or a professional might face when attempting to address issues at the national and international levels, such as professional recognition, apathy, or cultural barriers.
• Think about why addressing these challenges is important to the profession, as well as what difference its resolution or improvement might make.

Option #1: Organizational Development

WRITING ABOUT  COMPANY (TMOBILE)

Throughout this module, we have examined how training and development programs can be created to improve performance. As we have discussed, an organization’s mission and strategy, along with other factors, can influence how HR professionals approach development.

For this week’s assignment, using the organization you currently work for, a previous organization, or an organization you are familiar with, do the following:

1. Identify and briefly summarize the organization’s mission, values, culture, and strategic direction.

2. Analyze how the mission, vision, and strategy influences the type and frequency of training within an organization. For instance, if your organization is retail oriented and focused on millennial fashion, assess how training should be conducted. 

3. Develop two specific training strategies that would be effective in the organization and industry that you identified. Explain the benefits of these strategies and how these strategies are aligned with the organization’s mission, vision, values, and culture.

Requirements:

Write a 5-7 page paper with title and reference pages.

5 in text citations

APA FORMAT 

Within the Discussion Board area, write 350–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Situational leadership defines effectiveness when the leader can determine the level of development needed of the subordinates in a situation and then apply the appropriate leadership style to fill the gap. This unit will discuss the impact or influence demographics have on the 4 leadership style preferences. Discuss the following:

1. Do you think that age influences the preference for a type leadership style? Which of the four leadership styles (delegating, supporting, coaching, directing) do you think Generation Z, Generation Y (Millennials), Generation X, Baby Boomers, and Traditionalists would prefer? Justify your answer with the literature.
2. Do you think that gender influences the preference for a particular  leadership style? Which of the four leadership styles do you think males and females prefer?
3. Are demographics such as age and gender reflected in situational  leadership approaches? Justify your answer. 

In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

• Discuss age preferences in terms of:
  • Structure vs. less structure 
  • Autonomy in their work
  • The ages for the generations are: Generation Z (born after 1997); Generation Y/Millennial (born between 1977–1997); Generation  X (born between 1965–1976); Baby Boomers (born between 1946–1964);  Traditionalist (born before 1945).
• You may find in research that males prefer more directive and females prefer more supportive leadership styles.
• Demographics are not reflected in situational leadership theory. This is one of the criticisms of the theory. The theory assumes that the preference is based on skills and motivation.
• Properly cite the required reading materials.
