In this review, we have sought to highlight the particular barriers on the leadership practice and theory-building/testing constituencies, respectively, that constrain efforts to integrate them. We also offer a number of propositions and guidelines that we hope can break through these barriers and help stakeholders create a more effective leadership theory and practice symbiosis (LTPS). Finally, we have offered two cases of effective LTPS as examples and models for such integrative research efforts. D 2003 Published by Elsevier Inc.

...SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF THE STAFF NURSE IN THE CONTEXT OF INTER-PROESSIONAL WORKING. The aim of this assignment is to discuss the role of the nurse in the context of the inter-professional team. Discharge planning will be discussed and analysed incorporating relevant knowledge such as teamwork and role enhancement. Relevant social, economic and health policies such as clinical governance will be discussed. Perspectives of each of the principle professional groups including myself as a third year student nurse, will be incorporated and collaborative team working addressed. The Department of health (2002) describes discharge planning as a pathway used to decide patient needs, for a smooth move from one level of care to another (Hunt 1996) and is the process through which patient’s needs are identified and plans are written, facilitating continuity of health care (Jackson 1994). According to the department of health (2000) discharge planning illustrates well, the role of the nurse within the inter-professional team the balance between goals set, care delivered and evaluation of care from a nurse and team perspective. Nurse involvement is considered integral and, aims to provide effective discharge plans (Department of Health 2000). The Royal College of Nursing (RCN 2002) supports the concept of nurses taking the lead and recommends the development of nurse led protocols in discharge planning. However the NMC (2004) highlights the importance of nurses being able...

Contrast teams with groups. 3. Identify four types of teams. 4. Describe conditions when teams are preferred over individuals. 5. Specify the characteristics of effective teams. 6. Explain how organizations can create team players. 7. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of diversity to work teams. 8. Explain how management can keep teams from becoming stagnant and rigid. CHAPTER OVERVIEW Few trends have influenced employee jobs as much as the massive movement to introduce teams into the workplace. The shift from working alone to working on teams requires employees to cooperate with others, share information, confront differences, and sublimate personal interests for the greater good of the team. Effective teams have been found to have common characteristics. The work that the members do should provide freedom and autonomy, the opportunity to utilize different skills and talents, the ability to complete a whole and identifiable task or product, and doing work that has a substantial impact on others. The team requires individuals with technical expertise, as well as problem-solving, decision-making, and interpersonal skills; and high scores...

...high, student writers have to use fairly complicated vocabulary and sentences in their written work. Business writers, however, mainly aim to communicate information to their colleagues, clients, and other associated parties. They are relatively free to use what language that can get the business done efficiently and effectively. II. Seven steps in the process of wring 1. clarifying your aim 2. identifying your readers 3. making a general plan 4. sketching a synopsis (大纲) 5. drafting your text 6. putting the draft aside 7. revising and editing ★ Writing is a recursive and creative process. The detailed plan is not adhered to in actual writing. Writers frequently come up with ideas that are activated in the process of writing. Writers read the text they have already produced to help generate more ideas. In effect, the writing process is no linear at all but is characterized by recursive ness and creativeness. III. Three principles of business writing 1. Clarity – means setting your message across clearly. (See detailed information on page 4) 2. Consideration – good business writers take their readers’ needs, problems, and reactions to the writing into consideration. And they put themselves in the readers’ position. (P 5) 3. Correctness – means business writers should use language and approaches that are appropriate to the purpose of writing. (P 6) IV. Intercultural Awareness in Business Writing (See P 7-8) ...

...edition From the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Learning and Quality) Many students find learning the unfamiliar nature of academic writing a challenging experience. The puzzling art of referencing is no exception, with its traditions and initially obscure formatting rules, referencing can seem to be an overwhelming and annoying requirement standing between you and submitting your assignment by the due date. This guide has been written especially for you, new and returning Federation University Australia (FedUni) students, to demystify referencing and provide numerous practical examples of when and how referencing should be used in your writing at FedUni. As you study, you’ll come to understand that referencing is just a set of rules that you need to follow to adequately acknowledge the work and thinking of others in your assignments. These rules are important because they allow your teachers to decide whether you’ve demonstrated that you understand the topic at hand and show that you have completed the assignment yourself. If you ignore the requirements to reference source materials in your assignment, your teacher may decide you have committed ‘plagiarism’. This means you have failed to reference according to the rules and in doing so, not demonstrated that you have used the work of others in your work. Plagiarism is a very serious matter that can result in unpleasant consequences for your studies and career. So please take the time to understand the advice we have prepared for...
