Jessica Davis 02/12/2017 HCA 498 Assignment 5 1. In my development of the intervention plan I would first ask my stakeholders what they will like to know about the plan before we start. The intervention effect evaluation deserves the same degree of attention during program planning as does development of the program. All too often, it is only after the goals and objectives are finalized, the program is up and running the attention is focused on developing the evaluation (Issel, 2014).…

Patrick Lencioni’s book Advantage is entirely different from many of his other books, which read like fables; therefore, his would be my only complaint against Advantage. However, as Lencioni alludes, this is the book he wished he had written first. And rightly so, Advantage includes many of the principles taught in at least five of his other books and his big idea comes in this opening statement: “The single greatest advantage any company can achieve is organizational health.” The entire book is built around creating organizational health as opposed to most leadership books that attempt to teach new tricks to help an organization grow. Lencioni is convinced; and does an excellent job convincing his readers, that organizational health, not…

In other words we had clear goals in mind, so when it came to communicating with each other it was clear. Also within my team, we all exchanged information to help each other and it can argued that we achieved our goal by clear understanding, clear dialogue as well as a clear agenda but mainly due to the fact that we worked collectively and had strong cohesion within the team. This is further supported by research by Wu & Xiao 2011; Peterson 2012) who claim that in order to be successful, members need to employ open dialogue and have clear agendas. Reflecting upon this, it can be argued that this supported us to achieve our goals and present successfully. Also being able to reflect will not only allow me to improve myself but also embrace these disciplines in the future in order to enhance my performance.…
Agencies have many resources and tools which they use in order to accomplish their mission and goals that have been set forth. Performance management is one of the many tools used by agencies to help improve the overall effectiveness of the agency by involving their employees to understand their individual importance to the organization. There are five basic components of a performance management system which organizations must utilize in order be effective and successfully be able to achieve the organization’s mission and goals (Naff, Riccucci, & Freyss, 2014).

Recommendations for Struggling Managers Identifying the difficulties that managers may be having in establishing self-directed, high-performing teams, first you have to look at the basics that include team building, having a clear purpose, problem solving, decision making, negotiation, setting goals, conflict, effective leaders, and proactive planning. All of these together help create a self-directed high preforming team, so you need to look at each of these to find out what problems you are experiencing in your teams and then assess what steps you need to take. We will look at the ineffective issues we find and look at what will make them effective, with the team. We found that the team was not a cohesive team, using ineffective work methods…
Autocratic Leadership — The autocratic leader is given the power to make decisions alone, having total authority. They stand in master of the people and impose their wills and no one is allowed to challenge them. This is the style used by the Catholic Church for example, dictators and monarchs. On the other end, this leadership style is seems to be good for employees that need close supervision to perform certain tasks. Creative employees and team players resent this type of leadership, since they are unable to enhance processes or decision making, resulting in job dissatisfaction (Lewin, Lippitt, & White, 1939).…
The Vigilance Project Case (Dominick, 2008) is about team conflict because, in reality, the entire project was founded on some sort of conflict. The merger wasn’t really a merger, but more of an acquisition, which instantly creates tensions between the employees of both companies as various roles are either increased or decreased, depending on which company you initially worked for. As subteams were formed and sponsors/leads assigned to each subteam, initially it sounds like a good idea. It flattens out the hierarchy and involves plenty of employees in the decision-making process. However, because of the location of teams, it may have created a larger problem, producing more conflict, as now communication is becoming a bigger-than-initially-thought…
It is important that the message be sent loud and clear to all employees within the organization that the change must be attacked with an extreme sense of urgency. It is also important for the top level of the organization to have a realistic plan in implementing change. Many times top level management overestimates how many big changes they can force early on. They also underestimate how hard it is to drive people out of their comfort zones (Kotter, 1996). In order to achieve this management must create a powerful…
