Strategic Management Action Plan

Introduction: For your project in this unit, you will be developing what is known as a strategic management action plan (MAP). When all the strategic planning is done, it is time for management action planning based upon our strategies. This is where many healthcare organizations of all types fall short. The same level of effort that went into creating the strategic plan needs to continue as we take action, measure progress, and reassess over time. Management action planning is a step-by-step approach developed to help healthcare leaders plan the action steps that will lead to positive change for our organizations.

The strategic plan sets the direction for us, and our MAPs get the work done, turning strategy into reality. Developing a MAP is a seven-step process, and you will actually be practicing this MAP process as you create your project. Refer to the steps in your textbook, Chapter 10, pp. 407–412, for guidance. Some suggested MAP topics are provided here, and you are certainly free to propose your own topic. Perhaps you will choose something that truly needs to be addressed in your own organization. You may even find the MAP to be a valuable tool as you lead your own organization.

Suggested health care subjects include the topics listed below. Select one of these topics, or a topic of your own choosing. Focus on identified problems and improvement opportunities, key issues for planning, and implementation via your MAP components.

  • Nursing Recruitment and Retention in Health Care
  • Continuing Education Challenges
  • Patient Care Technology
  • Staff Safety on Duty
  • Patient Safety in Hospitals
  • Stakeholder Relationships
  • Community Education Programs
  • Disaster Preparedness
  • Medical Director Involvement
  • Quality Improvement Program for Health Care
  • Patient Satisfaction
  • Rural Health Issues
  • Funding for Hospital Programs
  • Neonatal/Pediatric Services

Your project should be a minimum of three to four pages in length and should include a cover page and reference page (cover and reference pages do not count toward the minimum page requirement). You need to include at least one graph, table, or chart to identify, analyze, and interpret your data for key issues concerning your MAP components. Also, show how this information and technology supports your MAP components. To supplement your MAP, you should include at least four sources, one should be from the CSU Online Library, and you can include your textbook. References and citations must be provided using APA style. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Leadership style

  • Analyze your current leadership skills based on what you have learned in this course.
  • Identify your primary style of leadership.
  • Identify 2 leadership theories/styles that would be beneficial to your current/future leadership role.
    • Summarize your understanding of both.
    • Explain how you would apply both to make you a more effective leader.
    • Illustrate 2 positive outcomes that you would expect to occur from each.
  • Examine your results from the following assessments completed throughout the term: Authentic Leadership and Emotional Intelligence.
    • Summarize each area and identify 2 areas within each assessment you wish to further develop.
    • Identify how you will develop each over the next year and how it will make you a more effective leader.
    • Illustrate 2 positive outcomes that you would expect to occur from each.
  • Develop a personal leadership philosophy and support your ideas with material from this course and outside research.
    • Provide an example where your leadership philosophy can be applied to lead an organizational change.
    • Your leadership philosophy does not have to be any specific leadership model we reviewed. Rather, it should represent your trajectory of leadership as it applies to your career aspirations. Consider your leadership style, personality, career path, and the industry you work (or wish to work in) and determine which leadership skills will be most effective.

How did “you” experience the “peace to end all peace” in the Middle East?

Essay, Historical empathy exercise

How did “you” experience the “peace to end all peace” in the Middle East? You have been assigned a particular perspective. Based on the information provided, write a brief memoir of “your” experiences. Consider how you would have responded to the postwar settlement and what experiences you would have had, based on your ethnic, social, and political background. You do not require a thesis for this essay. Be creative and “get into the role.”

 

Note: a good historian has the ability to put him/herself into the shoes of people in the past, as far as this is possible. This does not mean embracing their views but trying to understand what they thought and felt and why they thought, felt, and acted the way they did. Morally speaking, this is also an excellent exercise in understanding unfamiliar positions and, perhaps, to gain more insight into them.

Management Question

Assignment Instructions:

Good writing skills are essential for success in any academic or professional work. This is particularly true for people in a leadership position, where writing is the primary way to communicate ideas to lower-echelon managers or entry-level employees. Good writing is a skill that requires practice to become perfect.

The purpose of the Leadership Experience Paper is to apply the leadership concepts (from the lectures, class notes, book, additional readings,…) to your personal life: to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses as a leader and to recognize which situations align with your style, and which do not.

Task:

Use leadership concepts to systematically evaluate your leadership and your relationship with your followers. Specifically, think about a time when you were in a leadership position and when you had to influence others. For example, you can talk about a situation that happened in school (e.g., group project, school event) or outside of school (e.g., summer jobs, internships, volunteer work). Address and evaluate your leadership behaviors/style and your relationship with your followers. Please arrange your paper in the following way:

• Context. Briefly describe the context. In other words, tell me what I need to know to understand your analysis. Make sure you briefly address the following questions (i.e., one or two sentences for each question):

  • What was the setting (e.g., school, work,…)?
  • What was your main task?
  • Who were your followers?
  • How many followers did you have?
  • Were your followers similar to one another? In what ways were they similar/dissimilar?

• Analysis. After describing the context, you should relate the experience to the leadership literature. Select two leadership theories from the theories listed below.

Skills approach (CH 3)
Situational approach (CH 5)
Path-goal theory (CH 6)
LMX theory (CH 7)
Transformational leadership (CH 8)

For each theory, please do the following:

  • Briefly explain the leadership theory.
  • Apply the theory to the context (explain the connections between the theory and your situation).
    • Skills approach – Which leadership skills did you demonstrate? Explain how you demonstrated these skills. Which leadership skills did you not demonstrate? Explain how you did not demonstrate these skills.
    • Situational approach –Which development level were your followers? Were all your followers at the same development level? Explain why your followers were at this level(s). Which leadership style(s) did you use? Explain how you demonstrated this leadership style(s). Did you use the same leadership style with every follower?
    • Path-goal theory – Which follower/task characteristics were observable in your situation? Did all your followers have the same follower characteristics? Explain these characteristics. Which leadership styles did you use? Explain how you demonstrated these leadership styles.
    • LMX theory – Which of your followers were in the in-group and which were in the out-group? Which phases of leadership making did you go through? Explain how you went through these different phases.
    • Transformational leadership – Which transformational factors did you demonstrate? Explain how you demonstrated these factors. Which transformational factors did you not demonstrate? Explain how you did not demonstrate these factors.
  • Analyze your performance.
    • According to this theory, were you an effective leader? Why/Why not?
    • According to this theory, what could you have done differently to be a more effective leader?

• Conclusion. After analyzing your leadership, provide an overall summary of your leadership.

  • What are your strengths and weaknesses as a leader?
  • Based on your strengths, which situations (tasks/followers) do you think you would excel at leading?
  • Based on your weaknesses, which situations (tasks/followers) do you think you would struggle at leading?
  • What aspects of your leadership are you going to try to work on to become a better leader?
  • How do you plan to improve these aspects of your leadership?

Ethical Dilemma Case Study Instructions

Your goal is to find or create an ethical dilemma, research and propose a potential solution following a step-by-step process. You need to research your issue, the ethical schools of thought (theories) you believe are applicable, the pros and cons, and then conclude with your final proposal. An ethical dilemma is a problem having an ethical component to it. A simple example is finding a wallet with money it and identification; should you return it? Why? How do you make your decision? For this case study, you need a more complex ethical dilemma.

Main Steps
1. Obtain relevant facts of the issue; address why it’s important. At this level, you should address at least what you know about the situation – as well as what you don’t know; even more significant is the amount of time available. Often this is the determining factor in what will ultimately be done.

2. Identify the main ethical issues; usually there are 1 or 2 main ethical issues, and several sub-issues stemming from the key issues; try to cover main problem(s) and then 1 sub-issue if possible.

3. Determine who or what is affected by these dilemmas; who are the stakeholders? Who wins, loses? Who is helped by this? Who is hurt? Why?

4. Identify viable solutions/options based on 2 ethical schools of thought we’re studying this semester. For example: utilitarianism, egoism, virtue ethics, social contract, deontology, – or any version of these. At this point, you may want to rank them from best to worst by considering which is the least problematic, yet still most effective. This can be quite difficult.

5. Identify at least 1-2 specific consequences – both long-term/short term- for each alternative/school of thought. Explain in detail and use examples.

6. Make a choice (in your conclusion) and provide a philosophical argument supporting why your solution is the best by comparing and contrasting the benefits and liabilities of your solution to the one(s) you believe is/are the worst and/or second best. You may want to integrate a discussion on the original circumstances which created this dilemma in the first place – and how it might be avoided in the future.

7. Use 2 sources, APA or MLA format: 5-7 pages total.

8. Grammar, spelling, sentence structure, clarity in writing, formatting, organization, effective use of sources, images, and overall writing style are all part of your grade for this project.

Stakeholder Analysis

In this activity, you will conduct a stakeholder analysis for an organization of your choosing, ideally the one you will analyze for your final project. For the data for your analysis, look for information in its annual report, and in other sources such as the company’s website, press releases, sustainability reports, etc.

  1. Begin by reviewing these examples and graphics:
  • Links to an external site.
  • Stakeholder engagement guide 4_stakeholder_engagement_for_Emerging_Markets.pdf Actions
  • 4_StakeholderEngagement(1).jpg
  • Using the Indiana CPA Society chart as a guide, create a stakeholder analysis through the eyes of your organization.
    • Who are the stakeholders? (list at least five groups). Some of your categories might be regulators (e.g., government agencies, oversight bodies like the Security and Exchange Commission); employees; shareholders/investors; supply chain vendors; sales/distribution partners; media; and interorganizational alliances (networks, coalitions, or other firms in that industry).
    • How and why does your organization engage with each group?
    • For each group, describe:
      • the value they bring to your organization
      • the value your organization delivers to them.
  • Close with a summary.
    1. What insights have you gleaned from this analysis?
    2. What does the company do well in regards to stakeholder relations? What could be improved?
