How do you form a team?

This week, we will discuss how teams are formed and what factors influence how teams evolve. We will also explore various roles within a team and investigate strategies you can use to strengthen team cohesion and improve team performance.

For this week’s discussion, consider the learning activities you’ve completed and your own experience within a team. Include examples, if possible.

Respond to the following:

What are some typical challenges that occur as a team develops?
Which of these situations have you encountered when working with a team?
How did you and other team members react in these situations? Based on what you learned this week, were those reactions appropriate? How would you respond if your supervisor asked you what it means to “strengthen

Scenario analysis racial and national origin discrimination

Analyze the five scenarios listed below using the law you have learned thus far.

Scenarios

Anne is employed by Bradley Contracting Co. Bradley has a 1.3 million dollar contract to build a small group of outbuildings in a national park. Anne alleges that Bradley Contracting has discriminated against her, in that she has not been promoted to skilled craft positions with Bradley because it thinks that it is inappropriate for women to be in skilled craft position and that most of the male skilled craft workers are very much against having women in such positions. Knowing that Bradley Contracting Co. has a contract with the federal government, Anne brings suit against Bradley under Executive Order 11246 for gender discrimination. Will she be successful? Why or why not? Maria Cardenas, a Latina woman, worked for Aramark as a housekeeper at McCormick Place convention center for over 20 years. It was a long-standing rule for employees that they could not remove any items from a trade show for personal use, even if an exhibitor gave them away. Employees found in violation of this rule would be immediately fired. In October 2004, Cardenas and a co-worker, Juanita Williams, were stopped by a security guard who noticed them carrying food items away from a convention that had just ended. Both employees were discharged, but Williams was later reinstated because she was a newer employee and allegedly had been told by Cardenas that it was okay to take the items in question. Cardenas filed a national origin discrimination suit against Aramark. What does Cardenas need to show to prove that her termination was in violation of Title VII, and how might Aramark defend its decision if she states a prima facie case? Sam has worked at Allied for several years with no problems. Avril is transferred into Sam’s unit. Sam immediately begins having a strong allergic reaction to the perfume Avril wears each day. After having to take days off work because of his allergies, Sam asks Avril if she can tone down her perfume. Avril does so for a few days, then resumes her usual amount. Sam does not complain any further but is thinking of quitting because his allergies are so bad. He doesn’t want to go any further with Avril about it because Sam is white and Avril is Asian, and Sam thinks it might lead to a race discrimination liability for his employer. Is Sam correct? A white college receptionist is fired when it is found that she told a black college applicant that the applications for admissions are distinguished by race by the notation of a small RH in the corner of black applicants’ applications. “RH,” she says, is her supervisor’s term for “raisin heads,” which he calls African-Americans. Is the employee entitled to reinstatement? A white, non-Latino meat cutter was fired by his supermarket employer and replaced with a Latino worker for reasons he believes were racially motivated. Can he sue the company for national origin discrimination? Is it possible to commit national origin discrimination by favoring a Latino person over a white, non-Latino person? If so, what would the terminated employee need to prove to satisfy a prima facie case and then to succeed overall?

Business ethical practices

Complete a business ethical paper to talk about business ethical practices.

Additional info: Provide examples of Business ethical practices—good and bad—that reflect a particular ethical/moral worldview emphasis of two separate businesses. The specific business that you use for good ethical business practices cannot be the same as the specific business as the bad ethical business practices.

Elon musk case study

1. Does Elon Musk sound like the kind of leader that you would like to work for? Why or why not?

2. Is there a danger to having such a strong, charismatic leader as the head of a company? Would you have reservations investing in the stock of SpaceX if it were to go public?

3. Would you consider Musk to be a transformational leader? In what ways does he fit that model and in which ways does he not?

Describe the impact and the vulnerability of the scada / stuxnet worm

Protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure is a major security challenge within the U.S. Likewise, the responsibility for protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure encompasses all sectors of government, including private sector cooperation. Search on the Internet for information on the SCADA Worm, such as the article located at. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/22/stuxnet_worm_weapon.

Write a paper in which you:

Describe the impact and the vulnerability of the SCADA / Stuxnet Worm on the critical infrastructure of the United States.
Describe the methods to mitigate the vulnerabilities, as they relate to the seven (7) domains.
Assess the levels of responsibility between government agencies and the private sector for mitigating threats and vulnerabilities to our critical infrastructure.
Assess the elements of an effective IT Security Policy Framework, and how these elements, if properly implemented, could prevent or mitigate and attack similar to the SCADA / Stuxnet Worm.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Describe the population or problem with which you are interested in working

Describe the population or problem with which you are interested in working. ( My preferred population is the elderly)

· Identify the roles social workers take with this population/problem.

· Describe what you learned about working with this population during your Walden Library search.

· Identify types of skills and knowledge you want/need to develop in order to effectively work with this population/problem.

· Support IT with 3 sources

Discussion: sampling designs

As with most concepts presented in this course, there is no one best way to design a research project. This is also true with sampling designs. The focus should be on selecting the most appropriate design for your research project. This choice depends on the purpose of your research.

If you are interested in generalizing results to a larger population, you will need a representative sample. Representative samples require probability types of designs. If you are not interested in generalizing results and are in the very early exploratory stages of research, non-probability designs will probably suffice.

Consider the research question you identified and the most appropriate way to construct a sampling design to answer this research question. If you are using the Virtual Community of New Harbor for your previous Discussions and Assignments, review the “New Harbor, Delaware Sampling Background” document. Select a sampling design you think is most appropriate for your research project.

Post a brief description of the sampling design you selected for your evaluation. Explain why this sampling design is the most appropriate for your evaluation, listing its benefits and limitations. If you used the New Harbor Virtual Community, post a brief description of the sampling design that would work best for the candidate that you selected (e.g., Mayor Samuel Taylor, Councilmember Alec Coppel, or Candidate Mary Davenport). Please refer to the “New Harbor Sampling Background” document for more information on each of these candidates.

Transforming Nursing and Healthcare Through Technology

In a page project proposal written to the leadership of your healthcare organization, propose a nursing informatics project for your organization that you advocate to improve patient outcomes or patient-care efficiency. Your project proposal should include the following:

Explain the patient outcome(s) or patient-care efficiencies this project is aimed at improving and explain how this improvement would occur. Be specific and provide examples.
Identify the technologies required to implement this project and explain why.
Identify the project team (by roles) and explain how you would incorporate the nurse informaticist in the project team.
