Article Review
Time and change are the two things that we always have to think about, no matter what you do as a job or life. If you are not willing to change and understand the time that we live then success will never be an option. The article that really impressed was from the required readings from University of Phoenix. The article title is Putting the Positive in Change Creates an Inspired Work Team. This paper will discuss the article, the author’s conclusion and/or recommendation, my conclusion and/or recommendation, and how the concept in the article applies to my organization.
Individuals that are in the health care business need to understand what it takes to be successful. Understanding the many steps it will take to attain the goal is what the author had in mind. Since it is the healthcare environment that is every changing then it would be great for the reader to understand this very truth. These steps planned out by the author allow those in the health care provisions to attain a higher accuracy rate.
There are many different ways to do have a positive change in the work force through teamwork. The ideas that were given are very beneficial to the team. Some of the main points were to be open, cultivate change, to positively embrace change, and then to encourage change. The idea very well might be the best ideas for teamwork. You must be open, and understand that if you are open that the rest will follow. A closed mind never will ask questions and will never want more. Healthcare can be very daunting and so with this change has to happen. It has to happen within the workspace. To follow on with this idea of change everyone must be positive to the change. The last is to encourage the change. Change cannot happen if you do not want it and if you do not push it. So if all these steps are put in place then you will have a better place to work because it will be geared to positive teamwork.
The ideas that are put forth from the author are greatly understood. All of these area are important. The importance of having an open mind to the ideas that are presented is number one. Without having an open mind the next steps are almost impossible to complete. Once you open then the next step comes almost naturally. Change, and for this you understand that in the healthcare business it always important to bring ideas and then have a way to change to fit the times. So you have and open mind and want to change, how? You have to embrace change and understand that without it you would always be behind the medical healthcare eight ball. The last is to encourage change. When everyone is behind his or her product it becomes that much easier to complete.
My workplace has to deal with change and how to get the best out of the team. It can be challenging to do that and working with technology it is always changing. So taking another approach is exactly what we have to do in this industry. New software and hardware are a part of my work. To understand that it is constantly changing and to do nothing about it is a detriment to the team. The computer field constantly updates and upgrades itself to better challenges. This is where service must be focused. The openness has to be there. Trying to merge different systems to work together, and make technology better everyday. Then to put those changes into daily practice can be challenging too. So it is needed to be positive and pushing everyone to the same goal. So after all of this a change can happen, but it does not stop there it has to end with embracing the change. The last is to encourage the change. In my field of interest the best way to encourage this change is to have benefits for understanding the technology and the certifications needed to continue with this field.
So you have seen that whatever industry there are always need for change. This comes from many different areas. These areas will help make positive change in the work industry.
