...types of consulting firms make sense because our real-world experience will help us excel in developing these types of consulting firms. Having strong experience in these skills allows the team to make sure every company is given attention to detail for managing, sales, and planning functions. The cons are that these consulting firms limit us to only management, sales, and planning. A big part of a business is the financial part of the business.

The type of firm we will create is a management consulting firm. Management consulting firms are excellent at consulting a company in the realm of management.

...Introduction There is an increasing need for better management of Long Term Conditions (LTC) within Primary Health Care (PHC) that requires practice development processes and adaption to models of care that are person centred. Within my clinical setting implementation of a pilot scheme is underway with a common vision to work alongside the accompanying community pharmacy for better sharing of knowledge and information to enable optimum care for our mutually registered LTC patients. Analysis of evidence based practice, facilitation of roles and responsibilities, and appropriate health care frameworks will support how a plan is being developed that reflects nursing management and integrated service collaboration towards best health outcomes. Important to note that throughout this essay, reference will be made to Long Term Conditions, Chronic Conditions and Chronic diseases, these terms all relate to the same context. Evidence Mismanagement of chronic conditions is the leading cause of hospitalisations in New Zealand (NZ) (National Health Committee, 2007). The mantra ‘better, sooner, more convenient’ targets the role that primary health care in NZ must assume in order to reduce acute hospital admissions, through better management of patients with chronic conditions and, active support of high needs populations (Ministry of Health, 2011). The World Health Organisation (WHO, 2005) define long term / chronic conditions as having one or more of the following descriptions...

He held many leadership positions to include National Security Advisor during the Reagan Administration, becoming the 12th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest position in the Defense Department, and becoming the first African –American to become Secretary of State during the Bush administration. Colin Powell received some of the best training the military, and the country, but stands out from his peers as being one of the few individuals who can traverse political party lines and lead diverse individuals and organizations. He said “leaders must be passionate, demonstrate selflessness, and empower their people to do their jobs.” Below are some examples that show why he exhibits the 7 competencies of an effective leader: Ethics Competency: Colin Powell shows ethics competency by having the knowledge, skills and abilities to incorporate values and principles that distinguish right from wrong. When he was the National Security Advisor he found that he product the military produced seldom did not meet the policy maker’s needs. “He believed that it was his responsibility to initiate change in strategy and he did not want to be accused of not responding to world events.” Self-Competency includes the knowledge, skills, and abilities to assess a person’s own strengths and weaknesses.

...many challenges facing the nursing profession, cultural competence is an area of great need across all settings from educators, to students, bedside nurses, nurse managers, and nursing leadership. Cultural competence for a given entity, be it an educational institution or healthcare facility, is best measured by an appraisal of that entity, with respect to the cultural diversity of its staff and customers, along with its policies, procedures and actual practices. The focus of this paper is the evaluation of the cultural competence of a local long term care / skilled nursing facility (LTC/SNF) located in Harker Heights, Texas. The inability to access numerical or percentage totals of the demographics of either the staff or residents directly resulted in observational assessments by this writer as the basis for this evaluation. The observations took place during the clinical experiences of students from the local public school district’s CNA course. Based on the various readings associated with the nursing 531 course, a definition of cultural competence includes several components. One of the most easily understood and incorporated is Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence. This model consists of five concepts, namely: cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and cultural encounter (Montenery, Jones, Perry, Ross, & Zoucha, 2013). This writer’s understanding of this model is detailed in the following paragraphs. The first concept, cultural...

...competencies for 21st century strategic leaders by LTC JP Moore Strategic Leadership 24 October 2012 U.S. Army War College Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania 17013 It became clear to me [as the Chief of Staff of the Army]…I would have to learn new tricks that were not taught in the military manuals or on the battlefield. In this position [as a strategic leader] I am a political soldier and will have to put my training in rapping-out orders and making snap decisions on the back burner; and have to learn the arts of persuasion and guile. I must become an expert in a whole new set of skills. George C. Marshall After a review of the aforementioned George C. Marshall quote and the research conducted for this piece, the author draws the conclusion that the success – or failure – of a strategic leader depends on his or her abilities as an intellectual, culturally aware team builder, influencer, and a communicator above the tactical and operational levels of leadership. With this judgment, the following piece will answer two questions. What key competencies should a strategic leader possess in order to align their organizations to a constantly changing and complex – VUCA and JIIM – environment? How do these competencies facilitate his or her strategic organization’s alignment to the constantly changing and complex – VUCA and JIIM – environment? Strategic leader competencies generally consist of the “knowledge, skills, attributes, and capacities that enable a leader to...
