Two Heads Are Better Than One—Team Leadership in Public Health, assignment help

/in /by

In order to effectively function as a team, leaders need to come together and think as a team. For many collaborative leadership teams, this may be a challenge to overcome. As you have learned in this course, often certain qualities or skills separate leaders from a collective group. As a result, leaders take the initiative to enact policies for change. Ironically, when functioning as a team, individualized leadership characteristics and skills are deferred for team decision making and group-identified goals. While team leadership presents benefits in leading an organization, notable challenges also exist within the theory.

For this Discussion, consider some of the unique characteristics of team leadership. Using the Learning Resources, reflect on the challenges associated with team leadership and consider whether or not team leadership may actually exist within organizations.

By Day 3

Post a description (2 PAGES, APA Format, 3-4 References) of team leadership and its characteristics. Then, describe two challenges teams may face when leading an organization. Finally, explain whether team leadership is an effective approach. Justify your response.

Essay #5 (Annotated Bibliography)

Major Essays: The majority of your grade in this course comes from a sequence of papers based on the assigned literature. Note: you may not use online sources such as Wikipedia, Gradesaver, Shmoop, eNotes, 123helpme, and etc.

Assignment:

This week, you will complete a 1,000 word Annotated Bibliography. You will need a minimum of 7 sources (6 SECONDARY sourcres, one PRIMARY source which can be your textbook) with each followed by a 150-200 word annotation. Secondary sources must be scholarly criticism or analysis, not summaries, reviews, or “analysis” from sites such as e-Notes, SparkNotes, Wikipedia, 123HelpMe, or Gradesaver.com; instead, they must come from books written within the last ten years. If you can’t get them all within the past ten years, that’s fine as long as those sources are analyzing the literature, or some aspect thereof, not recounting facts. To explain, history books and scientific research needs to be continuously updated because we find new evidence that changes what we know about a topic. Books written about Watergate or String Theory 20 years ago might not be accurate or relevant today because new discoveries overturn facts or because our knowledge and understanding is nuanced and ultimately refined over time. However, if you’re looking at a book that explores the importance of irony in Shakespeare, then that’s ok. That kind of discussion would still be relevant to the subject today.

Make sure that at least some sources are from the Troy University library databases (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.such as Academic Search Complete or JSTOR (Hint: These online databases usually provide current citations of the articles). In addition to a correct citation for each source, you must include a description or summary of the source, at least one paragraph long, and an explanation of how you foresee incorporating it into your essay. For additional information on Annotated Bibliographies, see the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.’s Annotated Bibliographies (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., as well as “Sample Annotated Bibliography (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.” or the sample annotated bib in the Weekly Activities folder.

update the handbook

/in /by

Your manager has given you a new assignment. It is time to update the employee handbook. You will be creating information to add to the handbook. You are to outline the following:

Table 1:

Provide information and support for a proposed Computer and Internet Use policy. Discuss the important factors to be considered when creating a Computer and Internet Use policy and why they are important. Remember, you are trying to convince your manager to use your language in the handbook update, so support your position.

Table 2:

Draft language for a proposed organizational standard for ethical decision making. This should describe a step-by-step process for making critical decisions about potential ethical issues faced by counselors. This process should include, where appropriate, reference to the ethical code at the state level or a model code from a nationally recognized organization.

Addressing a Business Audience

As you discovered in reading Chapter 6 this week, much of business writing uses reports and proposals to identify problems and find solutions. These formal writing processes are very similar to the informal acts we use every day, such as managing schedules, planning meals, as well as balancing work, school, and life. For this discussion, you will draw on your own experience to identify a problem and/or propose a solution. Your problem and/or solution can be personal, professional, or academic. For instance, you might need a car and want to evaluate if it is better to buy a new or used car or opt to lease an automobile. You do not have to use research here, but logic and critical thinking to assess the problem and evaluate the solution. We recommend that you think closely about some real-life problem-solving that you have recently grappled with as chances are, others have experienced similar challenges, thus making this assignment more relevant to them.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references

Emancipation Proclamation

/in /by

President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was both a political and military risk and made at a time of uncertainty about the course of the Civil War. It was also a brave and noble effort that served long-simmering beliefs held dear by many in America from the earliest days of the new country’s creation. In your analysis of the Proclamation, consider whether its issuance achieved the stated objectives of ending slavery and whether this was an appropriate action for the President – or if it was actually a vain effort that should have been addressed through other governmental action.

In your analysis, include consideration of the president’s use of power as commander in chief and the struggle in America for freedom and equality

Format: Two pages (no cover or abstract). If you use only the text, no citations or references are needed. If you use outside sources, you do need in-text citations and sources.

Write a 150-200 word reply to this post

As mentioned in “How Not To Die” and actually in many of the videos we have been watching, it informs us that many diseases and health issues don’t have to be cured by doctors on a surgery table or by prescription medicine given to us. In fact, many health issues that humans develop can be reversed by eating a plant based diet. Meat has a lot of heme iron and other harmful qualities which can cause an increase in cancer risks. The body can only handle a certain amount of protein before it can no longer break it down in your colon. This can turn into colon cancer down the road. Meat and dairy products can also build plaque in your arteries which can eventually give you a heart attack, stroke, or high blood pressure. Meat and diary consumption come with big risks to our health. However, the nutrition guidelines that should be informing the public about all this, don’t want to because they don’t want to “upset” the public. The health guidelines were going to let it be known that meat consumption should go down by a lot, but these meat companies made it a point to get that line excluded and even to have the group who thought of this disbanded (Gregor, pg 27). Michael Gregor has also mentioned in chapter 1 that many companies such as McDonald’s and other food companies paid a lot of money to be included in the health guidelines (Gregor, pg 27). Therefore, money and making a profit was and continues to be more important in this capitalistic society, than the health of its public. Therefore, this one of the many barriers that helps prevent many citizens from adopting a plant based diet. Many people aren’t informed of a better way, and even if they were they are already so knee deep in these unhealthy eating habits, that they probably wouldn’t want to anyway.
