Lesson 5: Teams and Leadership
Activity 5: Team Essay
Identify a team in which you have had many opportunities to participate, observe, and interact. This team does not necessarily need to be from industry; however, please review the concepts below that you will be required to discuss prior to selecting the team you wish to cover. The list of concepts may help you select or eliminate certain teams. The team you choose should have been in existence over a reasonable period in order for you to discuss team development and to have specific examples to support your conclusions.
If you have never personally participated in a team suited for this activity, you may select a team in which you were not a member and interview two (2) or more team members. In your interviews, you should focus on each of the concepts below that will then be developed into an essay. You should not simply ask, “What type of team is this?” because many people are not familiar with the terms you have learned in this course. Rather, you should ask more general questions such as, “Are each of the team members in the same department, or are they in different departments? Are all members in one location? Do team members meet in person, or is their communication only via e-mail, voicemail, or teleconferencing?”
After identifying a team, write an essay describing that team with the concepts presented in the text. The objective of your essay is to demonstrate that you understand the concepts and that you can apply them to a real-world situation; therefore, you should discuss/explain each of the following five (5) concepts and then relate your team to each concept using examples. Provide two (2) or three (3) examples for each concept.
1. Type of Team: functional team, cross-functional team, self-managed team, virtual team, or global team
2. Team members’ characteristics, including expertise and functional experience
3. Team culture and how it affects their ability to implement employee participation
4. Team challenges: developing groupthink, presence of free-riders, negativity, and lack of trust
5. Team leadership and how it affects employee participation
Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document in a bibliography using APA style.

The journal entry assignment is a reflective essay writing assignment. You will post, to your journal, a reflective writing essay describing your current understanding of your personal stance on ethics in healthcare. The Instructor will post one response to your journal entry, and this begins the journaling that will continue throughout the course. This initial essay is important because it will begin the processing of information and deep insight you will need on this topic as you work toward your final project in the course (due Wednesday of Week 4). The final project requires you to develop a personal ethics statement based on legal and ethical criteria in healthcare.
Journal Entry for Week 1 is a reflective essay describing your personal stance on ethics in healthcare. Review the theorists by reading Chapter 1 “Practical Theory” in the text and then develop your own definition of ethics. Answer the question, “How do you define ethics in a personal and professional sense?”

At your weekly one-on-one with your boss, she tells you that the human resources representatives at the company are fielding a number of questions from employees and applicants about compensation. The human resource representatives’ knowledge of compensation is not deep.
She asks that you prepare and deliver a 10- to 15-minute PowerPoint presentation (10–15 slides) at an upcoming departmental meeting that provides basic information about what is going on in the compensation field today. Specifically she wants you to address compensation strategies that companies employ, note three of their best compensation practices, and examine three compensation challenges today’s companies are facing.
