You have just attended a manager’s meeting about establishing self-directed, high-performing teams. The company is concerned because some of the managers are having success building self-directed, high-performing teams while others are not. A discussion occurred that identified the characteristics of the successful team-building elements and compared them to those of the managers who have not been successful.

Identification of the difficulties the managers may be having in establishing self-directed, high-performing teams

The DeYoung (2015) text describes characteristics for effective teaching in nursing, which include professional competence, interpersonal relationships with learners, personal characteristics, teaching practices, evaluation practices, teacher clarity, and efficient use of time. Effective teaching is not an innate skill that teachers are born with; it is a learned process that is cultivated over time. Knowledge of educational theory and research provides a framework for educators to improve their teaching abilities. DeYoung suggests the desire to learn new teaching methods and the willingness to evaluate one’s own teaching are important teacher attributes.
As learners, you can easily recall your best teachers. For this discussion:
Identify (without naming) a nurse educator who taught you in the past and who you believe exemplified excellence in nursing education.
Describe the characteristics that made this educator “good.”
How do this educator’s characteristics compare/contrast with the effective teaching characteristics identified by DeYoung?
Are there similarities?
How might the nurse educator incorporate these characteristics into his/her practice?
Succession planning refers to the process by which new leaders are identified and developed within a given organization to ensure a seamless transition when existing leadership leaves the organization. An effective succession plan is often subtle because the change should be seamless; however, an ineffective succession plan can result in visible consequences as the challenges associated with the change become obvious.
For this assignment around succession planning, select a high-profile change in leadership at a public or nonprofit agency. You may choose an agency that you have worked for or have seen in the headlines or research. Analyze the artifacts of communication around how the change was announced and decide whether the transition was seamless from a public perspective.
In a 57 page narrative, address the following:
Provide a brief background on the chosen public or nonprofit agency.
Explain a recent change in leadership that took place in that organization.
Identify the artifacts of communication that were used around the change in leadership.
Analyze the strategies used with those artifacts to communicate the change in leadership.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the execution of the agency’s succession plan.

Teachers are not born, they are created; they are taught how to teach (DeYoung, 2015). However, learning to teach does not always produce an effective teacher. Learning to teach needs to develop in tandem with developing the characteristics of an effective teacher (Gardner, 2014).
Effective teaching methods for fostering student engagement must be tailored to generational learning needs (Werth & Werth, 2011). You will encounter multiple generations in your classrooms. Reflecting back on your own educational experience and articles you have found, how have things changed in nursing education, and how would you adopt changes to become an effective nurse educator of millennials in your future classroom?
