Using three of the following four examples, discuss when and how followers of the Buddha would benefit from having stronger leadership and when and how they would benefit from a more “hands-off” approach.

Discuss when Followers of the Buddha benefit from strong leadership and hands-off approach.

We have seen diverse examples of both the problems and potentials of leadership within the Buddhist tradition. On the one hand, strong structures of Buddhist leadership have led to problems such as sex scandals within the sangha, the imposition of patriarchal systems of authority, and even political instability in the case of Tibet. On the other hand, the lack of a central leader for all forms of Buddhism sometimes makes it difficult to determine which practices can truly benefit adherents of the religion or even outsiders to Buddhism.

Using three of the following four examples, discuss when and how followers of the Buddha would benefit from having stronger leadership and when and how they would benefit from a more “hands-off” approach: a) the tree consecration movement in Thailand; b) the practice of Chan/Zen Buddhism; c) abortion rituals in Japan; and d) the Western-based “mindfulness” movement.

After analyzing the data, you have some ideas for strategic action to address the problem or opportunity in the healthcare organization you chose for your Capstone project. Let’s dig deeper into the rationale for your ideas.

  • Assess each of your ideas for an impact that goes beyond profitability, by taking the mission forward:
    • For example, an idea might improve quality, increase access to care, etc.
  • In light of your assessment, which of the ideas will you choose to recommend to the Board?
  • How will you use charts and/or visuals to present the data and rationale for action clearly and simply to your audience?

NOTE: For now, you do not need to explain how you will implement your recommendations. Implementation will be the focus in the Healthcare Capstone.
