Leadership Style

October 6, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Business and Management

Dr. Wassmiah is a leader in a local hospital and works well in the environment. The hospitals environment is characterized by well-defined individual roles where each employee knows what is expected of him or her. Employee conflicts are minimized as everyone understands his or her responsibility, and the coordination of all activities leads to goal attainment. There is no duplication of work. Dr. Wassmiah encourages people to perform well and rewards positive behavior to boost productivity. Most goals Dr. Wassmiah sets are short-term, making them easier to fulfill, less intimidating to achieve, and as a result, employees are interested in obtaining the various rewards. When a problem arises, Dr. Wassmiah directs the employees in what to do and is quick to point out if the employee does not deliver results. However, Dr. Wassmiah suspects that employees are not working when there is no supervision.

What style of leadership is most likely described in this case and why have you reached that conclusion? What are the advantages of this type of leadership and what examples from the case support your position? What are the disadvantages of this type of leadership and what examples from the case support your position? What are the implications for employee motivation with this type of leadership? What other styles of leadership might be complementary to that described in the case and why?

Please include introduction and conclusion also use 9 references including this book as main reference Northouse, P. G. (2018). Leadership: Theory and practice (8th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications. ISBN-13: 9781506362311

: Week 5 Discussion
COLLAPSE
According to Zorii, Karlovi, Buljan, and Marui (2003), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol addiction or abuse is reportedly amongst forty to eighty percent of PTSD clients and is one of the most prevalent comorbidities.  PTSD symptoms can cause a challenge to treatment for alcohol addiction because the substance decreases the clients tension (Zorii et al., 2003). Another common co-diagnosis among people who use substances is bipolar spectrum disorder (BD) and alcohol dependence (Altinbas & Evren, 2013). One obstacle to treating this pair is that the dual diagnosis causes the clinical course of the illness more severe and worse (Altinbas & Evren, 2013, p. 379). To treat substance-using clients with a dual diagnosis a counselor needs to have the competency to treat all the conditions presented (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2016).  Also, the helping professional should use assessment tools to screen this population to obtain accurate information about the patients symptomology and diagnosis (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2016). Finally, counselors should join forces with competent professionals to ensure a better treatment outcome (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2016).

RE: Week 5 Discussion
COLLAPSE

Dual diagnosis of mental health and substance abuse disorders must meet criteria for both diagnosis and be independent of each other. It can be challenging at times to determine and diagnose dual diagnosis as some symptoms may be manifested or heightened due to the effects of substance use, causing it to resemble mental health symptoms (Hawkins, 2009).  There are various diagnoses that are commonly seen with those who have substance use disorders to include, depression, anorexia, or  PTSD(Drake et. al, 2007).

One of the challenges that can occur when dealing with occurring disorders is that patients may not be upfront regarding substance use.  A client who comes to you for treatment of depression may not disclose that he also is an alcoholic, which will affect the treatment planning and goals for the client. Additionally the assessment process can be difficult as  when a substance abuse disorder is diagnosed, often clinician will need to wait 30 days or more after the client has achieved sobriety before reviewing additional diagnosis which can present as a challenge, particularly in an outpatient session. Other challenges such as prematurely prescribing medications or clients noncompliance with medication can be affected with individuals who have both substance use and mental health diagnosis (Pierre, 2018 ).

Evidence based research suggests that the best practices for treating dual diagnosis with substance use disorder is to first ensure that treatment is integrated and simultaneous.  Ideally treatment will include a multidisciplinary team, to support in treating both disorders concurrently. Evidence based practices for addiction and mental health disorders include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention,  and ongoing case management.  It is aso important to ensure that providers work together to create a medication regimen that can support clients in being in compliance with taking medication prescribed (Pierre, 2018).

Discussion Forum : The Looking Assignment

October 6, 2020 Leave a comment Art, Not applicable

This Discussion Forum assignment is intended as both a “looking” exercise and a way to get to know your fellow classmates–the way they think, their aesthetics, perhaps a little insight into their soul…

Next, find an image of the piece online and save a copy of it (you will be uploading it later). Get out a piece of paper and a pen, get away from all distractions, put your phone down, and look at your artwork for 15 minutes straight. Set a timer.

As you look, jot down everything you notice about the artwork. To help get you started, here are some optional questions to ask yourself while looking:

What is your eye drawn to? What is the first thing you notice?
What color palette was used– bright colors, muted colors, blues, reds? How does that make you feel?
Who is in the artwork? What kind of people? Young, old, rich, poor? How do you know?
What objects are in the artwork? Are they depicted realistically, or abstractly?
How is the piece organized? Does it feel balanced? Off-kilter?
What’s happening? Is it a scene? Where is it located? How do you know?
Anything and everything else you notice in 15 minutes!

Now, you will summarize your findings in your post. Address the following:

What are some things you noticed?
What was the last thing you noticed? Why do you think it took you 15 minutes to see it?
In your own opinion, what does this piece seem to be saying? What message, implied or explicit, might the artist/architect be conveying? There are no wrong answers here. Consider thinking about how you feel when looking at the piece.
Insert an image of the artwork you are discussing–don’t “attach” it. (On the discussion board menu bar, click on the little icon of a landscape. It is located on the last menu line, 3rd icon from the left. Follow the instructions on the pop-up window to insert your picture.)
Signpost your answers by placing 1., 2., 3., before your answers to those questions. This makes it easier for me to grade and for your fellow classmates to read.

Original Post Requirements:

Your post must be 300+ words long.
All online discussion postings must be typed or pasted into the discussion message window (do not attach a document)
You must create a post before you can view others’ posts
