Effective Responding skills

You can communicate understanding using the following formula in your responses: “You feel…because…” For example, when responding to an employee’s core emotion you may say, “You feel angry because your hours were cut.”

Use 15–20 emotions that you feel you can identify as common emotions from this Web site.
With a partner (face-to-face if possible) practice the “You feel…because…” formula using your list of emotions.
To do this, 1 partner should attempt to mimic an emotion from the list, and the other should try to identify it.
If you cannot find a partner, you may use the Web site’s examples to complete your assignment.

In an APA-style paper of 800–1,000 words, report both your list of emotions examined, the reason certain emotions were chosen, and report your experience using the formula during practice. Also, report any errors in emotion identification that occurred during practice.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

This week’s assignment will require some speculation and also, an argument that turns a contemporary project into a future precedent.

In an essay of no more than 300 words, describe the conceptual understanding of the body by 1) Classicist architecture, and 2) Modernist architecture. You should derive that view and cite your source as an attribution in your text (i.e., “According to Colomina, ….(paraphrase)..” (footnote, page number). After describing the Classicist and the Modernist viewpoint, please speculate on what the conceptual understanding of the body will be in 2050. You should use some outside resource (an article in Wired, for example) to make your case for that conceptual understanding to occur in that near future. Finally, based on that near-future body, please use a current architectural project (last 10 years!) that you think is “leading” towards that future body. You will need to defend your choice using specific attributes of that building or scheme.

 

Address your recommendations and implications for clinical practice. Provide a summary of study and discuss any limitations of the study.

Healthcare Administrator Job Description

Careers can be identified by what is required to accomplish the goals and tasks of the job.

You will analyze the descriptions of actual healthcare administration jobs to determine characteristics and then create a job description of your own to demonstrate your understanding of the characteristics.

Create a 3-page paper (not including the title and reference pages) in a Word or text document for your response.
Use APA format for the paper, title page, references page, and in-text citations.
Create a title page and references page in APA format.
Develop an introduction and conclusion for your paper.

Part 1: Identifying and Defining
Knowing what is required for a job is an aspect of the job description.

Using a job search website, locate two different job descriptions related to one career in healthcare administration.
Analyze the characteristics in both descriptions.

Part 2: Create a Job Description
An effective job description covers the critical tasks and attitudes required for success.

Create a format appropriate for a job description in the healthcare field.
Group the characteristics by type, listing the requirements for each including: leadership skills, communication skills, and personal skills.
Be complete in your original description of the characteristics to ensure someone applying for the job would understand expectations.

Part 3: Reflection
As a conclusion for your paper, reflect on why this job might or might not be a good fit for you. Use what you learned from your research and the characteristics identified by Success Profiles, Inc., for effective healthcare leaders to discuss your suitability for the job:

Consider the impact information on a product’s supply chain might have in this context? Should, for example, a celebrity endorses a product if the product’s manufacturing depends upon a supply chain with negative impact on the environment, for example? Suppose the product itself relies upon ethical suppliers, but other products in the organization’s supply chain might not? Any change?

Discussion Assignment

For this assignment write at least 300 words answering the following.

Celebrities often contract to endorse a product. Should they use the product regularly, or even like the product before they are allowed to claim that they “endorse” the product?

If you were assigned to sell a product called “Sweet Treats” with the slogan, “so sweet, it will make you tweet,” but you thought the product tasted sour, and not at all sweet, what would you do?

Explore where the line is between harmlessly implying that someone is promoting a product, and someone dishonestly claiming that they genuinely believe the product is the best.

Consider the impact information on a product’s supply chain might have in this context? Should, for example, a celebrity endorses a product if the product’s manufacturing depends upon a supply chain with negative impact on the environment, for example? Suppose the product itself relies upon ethical suppliers, but other products in the organization’s supply chain might not? Any change?

CASE STUDY

A furniture company manufactures desks and chairs. The sawing department cuts the lumber for both products, which is then sent to separate assembly departments. Assembled items are sent for finishing to the painting department. The daily capacity of the sawing department is 160 chairs or 80 desks. The chair assembly department can produce 100 chairs daily and the desk assembly department 50 desks daily. The paint department has a daily capacity of either 210 chairs or 140 desks.
