Reflection Paper # 3: Aspects of management and leadership in Alzheimer 's disease internship The strengths and weaknesses of "reducing the impact of Alzheimer 's disease (or AD) among African Americans (in New York City)" internship with reference to the subject of "Management vs. Leadership" will be analyzed in this reflection paper. The article entitled "The Work of Leadership (Heifetz & Laurie, 1997)" exemplifies the strengths of my internship because my supervisor, Ms. Paula Rice is demanding strong leadership skills from me. She is making me do adaptive work as she is shifting the responsibility of advocating the aims of the Alzheimer 's Association (where I am an intern) from her to me.

For example, I permit the discussion to start, and I am paying full attention during it to see where it is headed. I also try to ascertain the concern of the person to whom I am speaking to, in order to ensure that the conversation is properly directed.

It is because the Alzheimer 's Association is a nonprofit organization which lacks governmental
