Researching Conflict Models

Research a scholarly case study or article about one of the conflict resolution models you are considering for your final paper, and discuss the model and a situation in which the model applies. Share a real or perceived conflict. Then, discuss which of the six sources could be identified and explain the best approach to resolve the conflict in the identified source(s).

• Share why you are considering this model for your final paper.
• Describe the model and apply any situation you have had that applies to it.
• Explain your response and provide examples.

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.

What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.

What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.

To Prepare:

• Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
• Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
• Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.

The Assignment (2-3 pages):

Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following:

• A description of your core values
• A personal mission/vision statement
• An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile
• A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen
• A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.

 Consider the following quote from chapter 14 of the eText: ”The gap between the rich and poor in the United States …has been widening for some time. In recent years, the gap has been the widest since our government began to keep records on it in 1947” (eText, p.143).  For example, one report states that: “Since 2009, 95% of U.S. economic gains have gone to the wealthiest 1% of the population” (“Income Inequality: Why Does the Gap Keep Widening?” The Week Feb. 7, 2014).

But not only is there a widening gap between the “Rich and the Rest of Us” (to use the title of a recent book by Tavis Smiley and Cornel West: LINK (Links to an external site.)), there is also the ever widening reach of marketing into everything or what Michael Sandel calls the marketization of society.  In Sandel’s TED Talk video, he expresses this concern that America is becoming a market society, meaning a society that uses monetary rewards to motivate desired behaviors in all aspects of life (LINK (Links to an external site.)).

For our discussion, please answer the following two questions:

[1] Discuss the growing income inequality in the U.S. and the world with someone mature enough to have some perspective from experience about it.  Ask them what they think about the widening gap between the rich and the rest of us in America, as our course materials speak of this problem.  How has the economic trend for middle class Americans affected them?  How as it affected you?

[2] Two examples of the marketization of society today that Sandel discusses are cash for grades and pay for getting around long lines.  What, if anything, is wrong with these practices?  Beyond what Sandel discusses, think of at least one social, personal, or relational good or value that you think would be negatively affected by marketization.  And explain why.

  

Discussion Question:

The Joint Commission determines the highest priority patient safety issues and how best to address them, including as a National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG). Access the Joint Commission website for the most current NPSGs. Select one or more NPSGs and address the following: Explain the rationale for applying the NPSG in nursing practice. Discuss some of the benefits and/or challenges of implementing the NPSG in a health care organization? How does appropriate application of the elements of performance in the NPSG reduce negative patient outcomes? 400 words required.

 

Dr. Christina Sommers is an advocate for teaching virtue ethics.   Her article (web link reading) Teaching the Virtues focuses on a problem she sees in today’s society with the lack of virtue.

Answer the following questions:

[1] With a friend, fellow worker or family member, discuss the case of Edward Snowden, a computer specialist who had worked for the CIA but who came to believe the U.S. government overstepped its bounds in spying on the American people (and others) the way it does and so he leaked top secret U.S. documents to the news media so the public could know. The May 2014 edition of Vanity Fair calls Snowden “the most important whistle-blower of modern times … whose disclosures will reverberate for decades to come” (Vanity Fair, 2014, Barrough, Andrew, & Sullivan, p.153).

Was this action of Snowden an act of virtue as a courageous whistle blower or the act of a traitor?  What virtue or vice do you see in the actions of Edward Snowden?  How should he be treated by the American people and their government for what he did and why?

Snowden interview from Hong Kong (he’s now living in Russia): “You can’t come forward against the world’s most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk … if they want to get you, they’ll get you in time.  But, at the same time, you have to make a determination about what it is that’s important to you.  … Even if you’re not doing anything wrong, you’re being watched and recorded … And it’s getting to the point that you don’t have to have done anything wrong; you just simply have to fallen under suspicion for something.” (For some background and then Snowden interview, click here LINK (Links to an external site.))

If you’re interested to find out what Snowden is doing today as he lives in Russia, here is a video interview with Snowden from September 2019 in Russia.  It starts out with a quick summary of what happened in 2013: LINK (Links to an external site.).

[2] Speak with a friend, fellow worker or family member and explain to them Aristotle’s idea of virtue as the “golden mean” and then ask them whether they think this theory makes sense or not and why (for a quick review of Aristotle’s view of the Good Life and how the Golden Mean works, see this video: (LINK (Links to an external site.)).  The Golden Mean is discussed in our eText on page 64.  What about you, do you agree with Aristotle’s understanding of virtue as a “golden mean” between two extremes?  Why or why not?  Give an example of a virtue that either supports or contradicts Aristotle’s Golden Mean theory.
