...Personal Leadership Personal Leadership Personal Leadership Style Dai Meeks 1 Personal Leadership 2 Personal Leadership Style Understanding yourself is essential to be a good manager and leader, a primary characteristic of effective leaders is they know who they are and what they stand for. Reflection (A1a) The seven habits profile reveals that I overall have several qualities of a highly effective person. My emotional and life balance are great indicator I have been able to manage life without burning myself out. I am married with four children. I work a full time job and now going back to school. I have been fortunate enough to have an awesome support system that allows me to balance family and work. I prefer to be proactive and plan for issues opposed to reacting to them. Prior to starting any project I think about the end result and the effects on the future. When prioritizing I tend to complete the most important tasks. Seeing others happy is more important to me so I often compromise to insure everyone gets a little of something they want. When there is a breakdown in communication, I try to understand other people’s point of view. I am creative and seek to find solutions that are outside of the box and value other people’s opinions. Making sure I take time for myself and family is extremely important to me. Based on the results of the seven habits profile my leadership style is very authentic, team oriented, and driven to help others succeed. Leadership Practices...

...will be responsible for this increase. A 2010 study compared the war time generation, those born before 1946, to the baby boomers. According to the study, the baby boomers are more prone to be heavier, and have a higher incidence of hypertension, diabetes and mental illness (Rice, Lang, Henrey & Melzer, 2010). The doubling of those in the over-65 age bracket, coupled with the results of this study, will undoubtedly put a massive strain on the nation’s healthcare system. Special Needs for Baby Boomers In order to gain insight on the needs of the baby boomers, a BSN prepared nurse who cares for this population was interviewed. This nurse earned her degree from Seton Hall and is currently matriculating towards her Master of Science Nursing degree.

...Total Quality Management in Hospital Pharmacy Introduction Hospital pharmacies in the present day context face various issues including cost containment, productivity and leadership, patient safety, medical-legal and ethical considerations, human resource management and application of new technological developments in the functioning of the pharmacies. The pharmacists employed by the hospitals are expected to attend to a number of different functions that include writing down therapy management plans and desired patient outcomes, monitoring the drug-based therapies, educating patients and counseling them and writing medication histories. Despite these many different functions being discharged by the pharmacists, hospitals find it difficult to recruit pharmacists (Smith). At the same time many of the hospitals take initiatives like staff reductions due to lower patient concentration, reorganization of the hospital facilities, carrying out recommendations of external consultants, implementing automation in drug distribution and mergers and acquisitions of hospitals. In this context, a methodological review of the operations of a hospital becomes necessary for improving the efficiency and functioning of the healthcare settings. One of the recommendations is to apply Total Quality Management (TQM) for improving the performance of pharmacies in the hospitals. Although TQM has been practiced in manufacturing industries for quite some time, it is relatively a newer concept in...

.... Organization Theory Challenges and Perspectives John McAuley, Joanne Duberley and Phil Johnson . This book is, to my knowledge, the most comprehensive and reliable guide to organisational theory currently available. What is needed is a text that will give a good idea of the breadth and complexity of this important subject, and this is precisely what McAuley, Duberley and Johnson have provided. They have done some sterling service in bringing together the very diverse strands of work that today qualify as constituting the subject of organisational theory. Whilst their writing is accessible and engaging, their approach is scholarly and serious. It is so easy for students (and indeed others who should know better) to trivialize this very problematic and challenging subject. This is not the case with the present book. This is a book that deserves to achieve a wide readership. Professor Stephen Ackroyd, Lancaster University, UK This new textbook usefully situates organization theory within the scholarly debates on modernism and postmodernism, and provides an advanced introduction to the heterogeneous study of organizations, including chapters on phenomenology, critical theory and psychoanalysis. Like all good textbooks, the book is accessible, well researched and readers are encouraged to view chapters as a starting point for getting to grips with the field of organization theory. Dr Martin Brigham, Lancaster University, UK McAuley et al. provide a highly readable account...
