Explain how the principles of servant leadership are evident in your chosen culture and religion. Identify similarities and differences between servant leadership philosophies and the values from your selected cultural context and religious viewpoint.

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to examine servant leadership practices with regard to religions and cultures other than those associated with Christianity.

While servant leadership is often associated with Christianity and the Bible, one could argue that it is compatible with most religions and philosophies and that it transcends cultures.

This assignment presents you with an opportunity to explore other cultures, philosophies, and religions and asks you to think critically about how servant leadership practices are apparent in other religions and cultures.

Begin by selecting and examining one cultural context and one religious viewpoint outside of mainstream Christianity. In a 1,250 -1,500 words (2-3 pages), discuss the following:

  • Explain how the principles of servant leadership are evident in your chosen culture and religion.
  • Identify similarities and differences between servant leadership philosophies and the values from your selected cultural context and religious viewpoint.
  • Identify specific examples of servant leadership practices evident in your chosen culture and religion.

You are required to locate a total of four articles that address servant leadership in your chosen cultural context and religious viewpoint. Two of the articles should examine servant leadership from a different cultural perspective and two articles should examine servant leadership from a different religious perspective. The articles must be peer-reviewed and have been published within the last 5 years. You must use and cite the articles within each content area in your paper to strengthen your claims.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.

Individual Assignment instructions

 

Individual Assignment: This assignment is to help you to summarize the lessons for your future managerial jobs. After each group of chapters (Ch. 2 & 9), you shall write a short essay (i.e., action plans) about the main takeaways to be applied to your future (or current) managerial job. Your essay will be graded based on

following criteria.

 

1) Each assignment starts with answering this question: What kind of manager do I want to be? Then, you should create 2-3 practical ideas (i.e., action plans) based on some of the main OB concepts, topics or theories in the chapter. The rubric for this assignment is 1) be specific in terms of what you will do as a manager based on the takeaways, 2) clearly connected to main OB concepts or theories in the chapters, and 3) not copying the textbook or other sources (must be your own

action plans).

 

2) One paragraph should be enough for each idea (So, 2-3 paragraphs per assignment). You should submit your ideas within 2 days (by midnight) after we finish the second (last) chapter in the groups of chapters.

The purpose of this assignment is to create a design challenge that highlights various problem-solving techniques. This assignment will build on the concepts on the “Hypothesis Statements – Overview and Template” assignment.

To complete this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation that is 10-12 slides (including title and reference slides). Include a minimum of two scholarly sources in your presentation. Address the following:

  1. What problem are you trying to solve based on your problem statement and hypothesis from Topic 2?
  2. Who is most affected by the problem (i.e., your target customer) and where/when does the problem affect the customer?
  3. Identify the key demographic factors of your target customer.
  4. Consider what new technologies are being developed and are emerging through the hype cycle. Imagine three of the emerging technologies within the next 2-5 years that might enable a solution to your problem. Conduct research on companies or groups that are working on these emerging technologies. Discuss how human-centered design and technological advances could offer possible solutions to the problem you are trying to solve.
  5. What are some of the initial constraints that may limit or hamper the introduction of your new technology? For example, does the target customer segment have money to pay for it? Is a particular resource too expensive? Does the target need to be educated about how to use the product?
  6. What are some possible variants to the design challenge? For example, are there substitute resources, different adjustments to the value property, or other modifications to the business model that could make it viable?
  7. Describe the value your solution has created for customers.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.

Using measures in the healthcare services setting, discuss the relationship between concept, construct, and variable. How are these terms similar or different?

/in /by

PART 1

Deconstruct the Relationship Between Concepts, Constructs, and Variables

 

The purpose of this assignment is to help you better understand how to conceptualize and operationalize healthcare measures (variables) of interest for research or analytic purposes. More so, this assignment will assess the degree to which you understand and can apply the concept of measurement in healthcare services settings.

Using measures in the healthcare services setting, discuss the relationship between concept, construct, and variable. How are these terms similar or different? How are they applied in the conceptualization and operationalization of healthcare measures? Explain using examples as needed.

Length: 1-2 pages, not including title and reference pages

Resources: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.

 

PART 2

Create a Healthcare Measurement Chart

 

Demonstrate your understanding of the concept of measurement in the healthcare field by populating the concept/construct table as shown.

From the healthcare services setting, provide one example for each concept and each construct that you might be interested in measuring. Align these examples with their corresponding variables, operational definitions, data categories (continuous or categorical), and level of measurement (e.g., nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio). A clear understanding and distinction between a concept and construct are key to the success of this assignment.

Note: Depending on the construct or concept, the example selected may or may not require multiple variables. If the concept/construct requires more than three variables, you will need to add additional rows to accommodate the number of variables required.

At least one journal entry per week must address our semester reading, Our Own Worst Enemy, and other readings related to our special focus this semester: threats to US democracy and ways those threats can be mitigated.

/in /by

Label each entry as you do them whether it’s the title or numbers.
Take a look at the requirements and example below and what’s attached.

What’s required?

Three learning journal entries per week (described below). At least one journal entry per week must address our semester reading, Our Own Worst Enemy, and other readings related to our special focus this semester: threats to US democracy and ways those threats can be mitigated.

Read the prompt details below and reach out if any questions. You aren’t graded on your political views. You are graded on whether you support your views with credible sources and evidence. Credible sources do not include opinionated commentators like Tucker Carlson or Michael Moore. They can be fun to listen to but are not college assignment sources. So too social media memes and conspiracy theories. I’m not joking. People have cited them. Provide evidence and citations to back up your claims to help others fairly evaluate your arguments. Anyone should be able to go to the materials you relied on upon and see for themselves to confirm, disconfirm or challenge your reading of that material. Then, and only then, can a free and open, and INFORMED discussion take place. No one is limiting your right to free speech by asking you to back up your claims, for additional evidence, or questioning the credibility of your sources.

Avoid logical fallacies

You’ll also find common logical fallacies (aka BS arguments) defined on the second part of this page. Once again, use it as a checklist and make sure you are making the best possible case for your point of view in your journals. 

Questions to address for each idea in a learning journal

Once you have your three ideas (plus one optional extra credit idea)  for the week answer the following four questions for each idea:

1) What was the one idea that struck you and why?

2) How does it connect to what you are learning about in class?

What does this mean? Step 1: As you read each section introduction and each page keep notes on the main idea- something that can be written in a sentence or a short phrase. Step 2: What is the main idea of both the module and the section on your topic page is located in? Step 3: What is the main idea you are writing or about or addressing in your journal entry? Step 4: Go back to your notes. What are the other main ideas from this section or module? Step 5: What main idea is your topic an example of? How does it compare to the other main idea(s)? How is it the same? How is it different? Your answer to Step 5 is your answer to question 2 on how your journal entry connects to what you learning in class.

3) How did it expand your understanding?

4) What would you like to learn more about?

Here are the journal entries

#1: Are we Stuck in Place (see attachment below)

#2: Chapter 3 Our Own Worst Enemy (see attachment below)

#3: The Popularity of Congress Today (see screenshot attachment below)
