There has been a major back–lash, directed towards the in-patient medical center, sense these series of events have occurred. The in-patient medical center faces possible law suites as well as, possible sanctions or even worse loss of accreditation, if there is not a plausible solution drafted ASAP. In order to defuse the situation and prevent this from happening again, it is the newly appointed COO’s responsibility, along with her management team to develop and implement a plan of action, in order to take the necessary steps to create and enforce a new surgical protocol to insure the over all safety of the patients. Introduction The in-patient medical center in which I have just been appointed COO has several regulatory and ethical issues, which require immediate attention. A wrong patient surgical error has occurred under the watch of the former COO, where a 26-year-old male patient comes in for surgery on his left leg, for a running injury however, he leaves the facility with his left leg amputated. This is an example of some of the major regulatory and ethical issues in which I have inherited as the new COO. It is vital that a comprehensive SWOT analysis take place in order to identify the organizations strengths and weaknesses as well as draft and present a plan of action to the board of directors. These solutions must be expedited...

Be sure to provide a description of each major character, their leadership style, and why you believe they were important to the story. Brief Summary Movie-APOLLO 13 NASA’s Apollo 13 mission was a mission to the moon, but because of mechanical problems the Apollo 13 not only failed to reach the moon, it was almost lost. The Apollo 13" mission showed men solving problems with their intelligence, their skill sets, bravery and most of all teamwork. This mission raised issues of loyalty for the individual against the loyalty of the team as a whole. It represented how the success of the mission became more important than the need of the one. Ken Mattingly one of the astronauts that was supposed to be on the Apollo 13 mission but was cut for a “maybe” health issue, played the role of the person who saved the mission. He showed that even with bad luck that prevented him from being on the mission, means even if you are not on the first team, you can still play the most important in saving the mission and become a hero. Each astronaut, was a positive male role model in their own right. (NASA, 2016). Major Characters Jim Lovell: Apollo 13 commander, was the world’s most traveled astronaut.

...important factor as compared to MBV. The start up and running costs require huge financial resources. As a basis of being competitive, any medium sized constructor will have to invest up to 50-60 Million USD. In almost all the cases the majority of the team finance is raised via sponsorship. Most of the smaller teams depend a lot on the sponsorships to be able to compete in this sport. Sponsorships can also help a team to improve its overall performance by the way of financial aid it provides. The car and its parts such as engine and chassis are very important resources.

Functional Structure Strengths Weaknesses Easier to manage work within a group Coordination and communication between departments may be slower and less accurate Contains people who “speak the same language” and nurtures technical expertise, attracts and develops experts Individual department managers have limited decision making authority Lower labor costs; workload can be balanced upon demand Different departments have different priorities; resolving conflicts may be costly; customers’ interests could be overlooked 2. Product or Service-Based Structure Strengths Weaknesses Responsibility for each product can be pinpointed at the division level Less sharing of resources across divisions Focus on one product can produce higher quality “state-of-the-art” output More duplication of effort resulting in higher costs Team spirit develops around each product line; Competition among divisions can boost business Customers who want more than one product/service will have to work with more than one division Encourages independent decision making; Quicker response to customer request Company may be slow to recognize that a product should be changed, dropped or added Could be stifled by one product...

...Strengths of Team Work By, Elmer M Saldana A team is defined as a small number of people with complementary skills who work together for a common purpose (Lehman & DuFrene, 2013) Creating a team is not only a matter of just putting people to work together. It is matter of identifying persons with complementary skills (Lehman & DuFrene, 2013). It is said that members need direction thus, identifying leadership is also crucial in the pursuing a goal. Leadership may serve as an avenue to keep all the member’s efforts well canalized, centralized and coordinated. It may also serve as a useful moderator to easily determine roles and responsibilities among team members. A quick evaluation of the existing organization is critical to a new leader's success. In addition to ending the suspense for team members, it is essential to know the strengths of existing team members and to determine that everyone is in the right role to leverage their strengths and interests (Willenwater & Kaelin, 2008) A Group must go through a developmental process to begin to function as a team. Members need training is such areas as problem solving, goal setting, and conflict resolution (Lehman & DuFrene, 2013) Some are the major strengths or advantages of working as a team that would translate into a more successful achievement of organization’s objectives. Working as a team minimizes the need of direct supervision. Team members are self guided, every member collaborate with their unique...

...Analyzing Managerial Decisions: Why Teams Fail By HCM-540, MBOL5, Health Care Organization Instructor: Saint Leo University Distance Learning December 15, 2013 DISCUSS POTENTAIL REASONS WHY TEAMS OFTEN FAIL TO DELIVER THE HOPED FOR RESULTS There many reasons a team can fail in achieving the results hope for in the organization. The use of teams in an organization allows them to share specialize knowledge amongst its members. In doing this, value is created for the organization and the team. This method of knowledge sharing is beneficial as oppose to the traditional hierarchy of knowledge distribution. The reasons are as follows: 1. A major reason any team fails, whether it is a management or project team, is the lack of a clear, overriding, and compelling vision or purpose. Like a team racing a sail boat, business teams have to know not only their destination, they have to have a compelling reason for getting there as quickly and efficiently as possible. Otherwise, they’ll do whatever it takes to get by, and they’ll make sure nobody on the team does any more than necessary. A known purpose answers the question, “What are we here for.” For example, an Information Technology department is concerned with the low level of pride their staff had for their projects. Staff usually tries to keep to themselves and avoid initiative. The team usually feels that the meetings are mostly irrelevant to their work, and do not lead to progress, holding needless arguments...

...Organizational Behavior Strengths-Based Development 22nd July 2014 Abstract This paper deals with different kinds of organizational behavior, from deficit-based behavior to strengths based behavior. It also touches upon employees’ strengths & weaknesses, effect on employee engagement & managerial interaction with employees. It has a look at evidence, which supports a particular kind of organizational behavior. Keywords: deficit-based behavior, strengths-based behavior, employee engagement, managerial interaction. Strengths-Based Development Every organization is faced with the dilemma whether to look at weaknesses and faults of employees & take corrective measures or whether to capitalize on strengths which each individual has. The answer is never simple. A lot depends on the characteristics of each individual. A major weakness needs correction before a person can build up on his strengths. There are many who feel that the deficit development approach is a good idea. Only concentrating on strengths may be shortsighted and a kind of self-indulgence. Understanding one’s weakness and making efforts to rise above it shows hard work and lack of ego. Often a person’s strengths may not coincide with organizational requirements hence the employee needs to learn additional skills. Great leaders show the way by dealing with weaknesses and overcoming them. By putting stress on existing skills...

...the results of leadership and team skills self-assessment test and will also list what jobs would best suit me. Second, I will compare and contrast my leadership style with some of the other theories for leadership styles. In this regard, I will provide some examples and will explain how I would act under specific circumstances. Third, I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of my personal leadership and will also identify jobs within my organization that would fit well with my style. Outline of the results of the leadership and team skills self-assessments According to the results of the leadership and team skills self-assessments (Pfeiffer & Jones,1974), my score for concern for people was 6 whereas my score for concern for task was 10. Therefore, my leadership style would be task-oriented since my score was high. Task-oriented leaders are concerned with getting the job done, whereas people-oriented leaders focus mainly on group interactions and the needs of individual members. Similarly, the results of the self-assessments for charismatic leader behavior and my total score of 95 classify me as a charismatic leader. On the team skills self-assessments test, my score for trusting others is 4, my score for others trusting me is 54, my score for disciplining others is 20, and my score for building and leading a team is 89. My high score of 4 for trusting others clears denotes that I have low faith in people and would more likely choose majors such as sales-promotion, business...

...situation at hand is related to the rights of a player as well as the contractual agreement between a player and his club. Acme Bikes (AB) is a new team in the UCI World Tour competition. We are presented with a situation where a rider by the name Frits Boy, who is the oldest in the team,has a number of complaints against his team. Firstly, the team decided not to field him due to the fact that Fritz has been the slowest rider in the two competitions that the team participated in. The team also left him out of the team selected for the Tour de France that is forthcoming. Fritz feels unwanted by the team for his name has been removed from the team’s website and efforts to have his bike repaired by the team’s technicians have proved to be futile. Additionally, a rival team by the name Team Sky has approached Fritz and is trying to woo him on its side. The European Court of Justice is very clear on contractual terms and conditions. Fritz is on the verge of breaching his contractual terms with the Acme Bikes team by involving himself in negotiations with the Team Sky while is still bound to Acme Bikes. Fritz has the right to ask for a transfer in case he feels that he is not wanted in the team. However, he must adhere to the rules relating to transfer deadlines. It is clear that a late transfer can tremendously alter the strength of a team in the course of the championship. The European Court of justice has recognized that certain limitations on the freedom of movement may be justified...
