Discussion

DQ1 Refer to Figure 11-2 in the Organizational Behavior
textbook. Which of the reasons for team failure have you experienced and how
would you do things differently to ensure that any team you are involved in
will be successful? Research the tenet of conscious culture and explain its
role in promoting successful teams.

DQ2 Although virtual teams are becoming more prevalent,
there have been mixed reviews on their effectiveness. Read “The Best
Online Platforms for Virtual Meetings,” “5 Tips for Virtual
Collaboration,” and “Yahoo Orders Homeworkers Back to the
Office.” Discuss the steps you would take to manage a successful virtual
team (be sure to discuss how you would choose a platform to use and guidelines
for monitoring virtual team performance).

Leadership and Organizations

Week 1
Discussion

DQ1 In many organizations, being “people-centered”
is considered soft, irrelevant, and unrelated to profitability. Contemplate the
Conscious Capitalism principles (i.e. conscious leadership, stakeholder
orientation, conscious culture, and higher purpose) as a framework and consider
at least two companies that have successfully adopted this business philosophy
to gain success and combat traditional corporate approaches. How do these
companies embody the tenet of “higher purpose” and create deeper
meaning by focusing their goals beyond profits and inspiring their
stakeholders? What connections can you identify between the four principles of
Conscious Capitalism and the Christian concept of putting others before
oneself?

DQ2 Review the “Skills Exhibited by an Effective
Manager” (Table 1-2 in Organizational Behavior). Identify your particular
areas of strength and discuss opportunities for your own development as a
manager.

(Benchmark Assignment) Applying Decision-Making Models in
Health Care

This is a benchmark assignment.

Choose an ethical decision-making model from among the
following three discussed in the lecture and other readings: Nash?s 12
Questions for Moral Choices, Kidder?s Ethical Checkpoints, and Uustal?s Ethical
Decision-Making Model. Apply your chosen model to the following ethical
dilemma:

Your terminally ill patient told you at her last visit that,
since her pain could no longer be completely controlled by any means, and in
her opinion she was just waiting to die, she was going to Holland to
participate in its physician-assisted suicide program.

What would your advice to this patient be? In a 500-750 word
paper, include a letter to your patient offering your insights and recommendations
regarding this decision.

In addition, following your letter, include a subsection in
which you address the following when completing this assignment:

Explain the theory of the chosen ethical decision-making
model as it relates to this scenario. What effect have this and other models
had on medical practice over the years?

Should a doctor be able to end the life of an individual who
is suffering and who has no hope of recovery? Why or why not?

How might a living will be used, or not, to guide an
individual’s end of life decisions?

How does the use of technology complicate the dying process?

Include at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed references
from the GCU Library to support your positions.
