...Scholarship, Practice and Leadership Lisa Hoffman University Of Phoenix Scholarship, Practice and Leadership People have an ability to manage his or her span of information regarding his or her own health and the health of those they care for. With the increasing complexity of health information and health care settings, most people need additional information, skills, and supportive relationships. Societal expectations of health care professionals are rapidly changing and increasing. Society has high expectations of health professionals, expecting them to provide leadership roles in the community. In addition to societies’ expectations of leadership, universities expect faculty to demonstrate leadership in a scholarly manner. Scholarship is a fundamental expectation for anyone in an academic role. Scholarly leadership proceeds through the academic ranks of a university demonstrating evidence of effectiveness of teaching, research, professional activities, and community contributions. Boyer (1990) defines scholarship as “those actives that systematically advance the teaching and practice of nursing through rigorous inquiry that is significant to the profession is creative; can be documented; can be replicated or elaborated and can be peer-reviewed through various methods” (p. 129). Colleges and universities across the nation are striving to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing educational...

...06/17/2010 Strayer University If I had to choose a leadership style then, I have to say that I believe that I represent the Human Resource style of leadership. In an effective leadership situation, the leader is a catalyst and servant whose leadership style is support, advocating, and empowerment, while in an ineffective leadership situation; the leader is a pushover, whose leadership is abdication and fraud. Human Resource Leaders believe in people and communicate that belief; they are visible and accessible; they empower, increase participation, support, share information, and move decision making down into the organization. Scratch the surface of an excellent school and you are likely to find an excellent principal. Peer into a failing school and you will find weak leadership. That, at least, is the conventional wisdom. Leaders are thought to be essential for high-quality education. But is this indeed true and if so, exactly how does leadership work? Amidst the seeming certainty that leadership matters, there is much that we do not yet understand about effective educational leadership. However, the knowledge base about leadership is constantly growing. This knowledge can be used with confidence to guide leadership practice, policy, and research. It also can provide a good starting point for dialogue with diverse audience about the future of educational leadership. Like other complex human activities, leadership is difficult to pin down. It might even be unwise to narrow...

...the health care workforce is nurses and the needs to strengthen this group will only improve the delivery of care and the health care system. The IOM and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation established that accessible, high quality care cannot be achieved without extraordinary nursing care and leadership (American Nurses Association, 2014, p. 1). The report calls on nurses individually and as a profession to embrace changes needed to promote health, prevent illness and care for people across the lifespan. The report also calls for support from interprofessional collaborations from physicians, dieticians, physical therapist and other multisector professions to work with nurses to make the changes necessary for a more accessible, cost efficient and high quality health care system. This report expands on the theme that high quality, safe, evidence based patient centered care is a critical role of nursing and that to have a successful health care system rests on the future of nursing (Institute of Medicine, 2010). In 2010 the President signed into law and Congress approved health care legislation called the Affordable Care Act. This legislation gives the United States the opportunity to transform its health care system to provide seamless, affordable, quality care that is accessible to all. To make this transformation possible a remodeling of many different aspects of the health care system will need to take place. This is especially true of the largest segment of the healthcare...

...Applying the Balanced Scorecard to Education DEMETRIUS KARATHANOS PATRICIA KARATHANOS Southeast Missouri State University Cape Girardeau, Missouri T he concept of the balanced scorecard (BSC) was first introduced by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton (1992) in their now widely cited Harvard Business Review article, “The Balanced Scorecard—Measures that Drive Performance.” The widespread adoption and use of the BSC is well documented. For example, Kaplan and Norton (2001) reported that by 2001 about 50% of the Fortune 1000 companies in North America and 40% to 45% of companies in Europe were using the BSC. The basic premise of the BSC is that financial results alone cannot capture value-creating activities (Kaplan & Norton, 2001). In other words, financial measures are lagging indicators and, as such, are not effective in identifying the drivers or activities that affect financial results. Kaplan and Norton (1992) suggested that organizations, while using financial measures, should develop a comprehensive set of additional measures to use as leading indicators, or predictors, of financial performance. They suggested that measures should be developed that address four perspectives: 1. The financial perspective. Measures in this perspective should answer the question, “How should we appear to our shareholders?” 2. The customer perspective. These measures should answer the question, ABSTRACT. Although the application of the balanced scorecard (BSC) in the business sector...

David Bitner, a manager in Fresh Market Café, whose title is a retail operations manager of University of Oregon. They have 165 employees all together including 42 classified staff members that are full time employees represented by the SEIU Union (Service Employees International Union), and approximately 120 student employees. As a manager, the general role David plays in the organization is to supervise the step of what they call is “the front of the house”, meaning to make sure that they get great customer service and people are given the high quality product. So his general role is to facilitate operation of the restaurant as smooth as possible. In order to succeed to be a good leader in “Fresh”, David needs two things. One is good people to work with, and two is the best available product he can get. So, binging the best product they can, preparing the best they can, and serve it. And in order to convey any little things, he needs really capable people who can learn the job and do it well. But the problem is that things happen everyday the way it shouldn’t. Such as people show up late everyday, and people call in sick a lot. That causes problem because there is less people work that day that makes the serving process going slower...

...Cornerstones of Change: Roles and Qualities of Teacher Leaders By: M. Pierce Course: ED625 Word Count of Article: 2200 Abstract The purpose of the paper is to examine different types of teacher leaders and examine their possible roles in our schools and effect on our educational system. Herein, I focus on the teacher leadership qualities of collaboration, ethics, trust, vision, decisiveness, and thirst for knowledge. Furthermore, I present the notion that teacher are the heart of change, not only because they are the people who instill the change but through shared leadership model it. In achieving this aim, I describe how leadership qualities can facilitate educational reform centered on the present generation of learners. Introduction In this modern era of change and educational accountability, the role of school manager has grown in complexity and many school administrators welcome the effective collaboration of teacher leaders. Many principals find that administrative and accountability tasks can take their time and energy away from being effective educational leaders. The volume of paperwork and the multifaceted nature of the problems to be solved are increasing. It is difficult for school leaders to offer adequate assistance and guidance to teachers who want to experiment and find new ways to engage their students. The school leader may not have the expertise to advise teachers about instruction, curriculum, procedure, new practices, and new technologies...
