Within the Discussion Board area, write 350–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

You will have 2 options this week for your DB posting. Select either Option 1 or Option 2 for your Discussion Board response. For your responses to classmates, please respond to at least 1 person from the option that you did not select and the second response from someone who replied to the same option as you.

Option 1

This week will focus on situational leadership. Situational leadership is based on a leader’s ability to adapt his or her style and approach based on what is most needed in that situation. What is most needed is usually determined by the gaps in subordinates’ skills and abilities with the task requirements. 

Research articles on situational leadership. Use high-level and synthesis thinking in your responses to the following questions:

• Where do situational leadership and authentic leadership conflict, and where are there similarities? 
• How would you apply situational leadership to improve the performance of leaders? 
• How can the style approach (behavior theory) be combined with situational  leadership to develop subordinates? 

Option 2

Write 350–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments.

• Steven Sample discussed the importance of leaders having experts. These experts, as defined by Sample (2003), need to be artful listeners so they can understand what the leader is trying to achieve and then help them accomplish these objectives. Contrarian leaders are able to distinguish      the experts that are saviors from the charlatans (Sample, 2003). 
  • Identify   5 experts that you need in your life during your doctoral journey and the objectives each expert will help you achieve.
• Steven Sample discussed the importance of leaders to read what he calls supertexts. These supertexts, as explained by Sample, are insightful, the foundation of our culture, and stimulate original thinking. Some of the books he recommends are The Prince, Plato’s Republic, Shakespeare’s Hamlet  and Othello, Sophocles’ Antigone, and Dante’s Divine Comedy (Sample, 2003).  
  • What was the last supertext that you read? 
  • What  insights did you gain that helped stimulate original thinking? 
  • Why do you think Sample considered these supertexts more important than reading popular periodicals? Do you agree or disagree? Justify your answer.

In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

Option 1

• Discuss adaptation.
• Discuss supportive versus directive interventions.
• Where differences occur is in the approach. If a person is naturally supportive, he or she may find challenges in leadership roles that require him or her to be very directive. If the situation is more      temporary or instant, then situational leadership and authentic leadership are similar. In situations demanding a specific leadership style over long periods, if that style is opposite to the leader’s natural preference, the two may conflict.
• As subordinates apply these theories, in assessing their performance and knowledge gaps, they will be better able to assess where they need to improve and can use the style approach to observe their      leaders and apply what they have learned.

Option 2

• Identify your mentors as experts who will help you navigate through the dissertation process, professors as the subject matter experts, advisors as experts on university policies, maybe editors      as APA experts to help to finalize the dissertation. Personal experts like counselors to help manage the stress, and financial experts to help with the financial processes associated with the doctoral journey. Again, this is more personal, so answers may vary.
• Key point: Experts should be able to help you meet your defined objectives.
• Importance of supertext to history and culture.
• The insights that are gained from your selected supertext should be connected to changing your mindset or helping your perspective on certain aspects of life.
• Sample considered these supertexts more important than periodicals because they are changing the fabric of our thoughts, challenging our ideals, and causing us to rethink our own thoughts and      ideas.

How does top management HR beliefs and values affect high performance work system effectiveness?

Option #1: Strategy 6: Cultural Challenges

For this Module 6 Milestone assignment, create a framework from which an international human resource management function can address cultural challenges. Within your framework, devise a model that includes due diligence steps, merger steps, and post-merger steps that specifically address cultural acclimation and environmental acclimation, as well as bringing two workforces together.

This Milestone assignment should be no more than two pages in length (not including cover and reference pages), so focus on being clear and concise.

 The final project for this course is divided into two parts. Part I is the creation of an article review. Regardless of their field of interest, health professionals across disciplines need to be able to analyze and use biostatistical data to address health concerns among the populations they serve. They need to be able to identify trends, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for improving health outcomes based on solid evidence. It is also important that they are able to communicate that information effectively to those directly or indirectly impacted. They also need to understand what others are doing in their field, the strengths and limitations of that work, and how it affects their own organization, even if they do not intend to become statisticians. The two summative assessments for this course lay the foundation for these critical skills—first, by asking you to evaluate the strengths and limitations of existing biostatistical articles and to identify the selection process of appropriate methodologies in different contexts (Part I). You will present your analysis through a written executive summary geared toward an audience of fellow health professionals. Then, in Part II, you will calculate descriptive and inferential statistics of a small data set. You will explain the basic parameters of the data, graph it, and run simple hypothesis tests. You will present your analysis in a statistical report geared toward a non-technical audience, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for further research. In Part I, you will review and analyze published research that you might encounter as a health professional. You will select two journal articles from the provided list on a topic of interest. You will create an article review that identifies the articles and their relevance to your field; summarizes the articles, including their findings; compares and contrasts the statistical methods used in the articles; explains why the methods used were appropriate; discusses their limitations; and concludes with recommendations for future work. Part I is divided into three journals, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These article journals will be submitted in Modules Two, Five, and Six. The completed article review will be submitted in Module Eight. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: ● Analyze the role of biostatistics for its impact on professional decision making in the public health, nursing, or health science fields ● Interpret key biostatistical metrics, methods, and data for addressing population-based health problems ● Evaluate the quality and limitations of published public health, nursing, and health science research by comparing and contrasting biostatistical methods and analysis used to support a variety of health initiatives ● Communicate biostatistical results, procedures, and analysis to other health professionals and the general public for informing their decisions related to population-based health problems  Prompt Imagine you are a biostatistician working at a local health organization. Part of your job is to analyze trends and draw conclusions about health issues that affect your organization. Your supervisor has asked you to do a quick literature search for published research on an upcoming topic as preparation for a new project. The goal is to understand the current biostatistical methods and guidelines being used on similar studies so that you could eventually use that to inform the design of the new study. Your job is to find a minimum of two research articles on your topic from the Final Project Part I Articles List document, examine the broad health question(s) addressed in each, and critically assess the statistical methods used to analyze the data and arrive at the articles’ conclusions. You will present the results of this analysis to your supervisor and peers in an article review. Specifically, your article review must address the following critical elements: I. Background: Use this section to provide a brief context for the health problem, issue, or trend you are researching. Specifically, you should answer: A. What topic or health question did you research and why is it relevant to public health, nursing, or the health science professions? Give realworld examples to support your answer. B. How can biostatistics help inform decision making around your topic? Support your answer with specific examples. II. Article Selection: In this section, discuss how and why you selected your main article and the related article. Be sure to: A. Explain why you selected these specific articles to examine over others in your field that use biostatistical methods and data. Justify your answer. B. Assess each article’s importance to health decision making in your field. Give real-world examples to illustrate your answer. III. Findings: This section should highlight the major findings of each of the articles you selected for your supervisor and peers. Specifically: A. What are the findings of each article and what implications do they have individually and collectively for solving the health problem in question? Support your answer with specific examples from your field. B. Explain how key biostatistical calculations and methods support the conclusions in each article. Cite relevant information from the articles that support your answer. IV. Methods: Use this section to compare and contrast the methods used in the articles you selected with an eye to assessing the quality and limitations of the findings and informing future research. Specifically, you should: A. Explain why the authors of each article selected the methods they did. How appropriate were the methods to the overall purpose of the paper? Justify your response. B. Analyze a difference and similarity in the methods chosen with respect to the health question being addressed in the selected articles. Explain your answer using evidence from the articles selected and information you have learned in the course. C. Assess a strength and limitation of the different approaches used in the articles you selected. Explain your answer using evidence from the articles you selected and information you have learned in the course. V. Conclusions: What does your evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the articles you selected suggest for future research in this field? Be sure to provide specific suggestions for potential next steps, based on evidence from your analysis, and explain how these suggestions would help improve decision making. Journals The journal activities in this course act as milestones that will help you prepare for your Final Project Part I submission. Module Two Journal: Article Selection In Module Two, you will submit a paragraph to select and explain your articles and health question. This assignment will be graded using the Journal Rubric. Module Five Journal: Article Findings In Module Five, you will explain the findings in the two articles relating to the health question you identified. This will be submitted as a table and at least two paragraphs. This assignment will be graded using the Journal Rubric. Module Six Journal: Article Methods In Module Six, you will complete a table in which you compare the methods used in the two articles. You will also submit explain this comparison. This assignment will be graded using the Journal Rubric. Final Project Part I Submission: Article Review In Module Eight, you will submit your Final Project Part I: Article Review. To create this document, revise the journals throughout the course incorporating the feedback from your peers and instructor into one final document that includes all the sections of this article review project. The final submission will be graded using the Final Project Part I Rubric. 

 For this milestone, you will complete a draft of the first two sections of your summative assessment. Read the transcripts provided for you for this case analysis. The transcripts can be found in the Final Project Case Study.
