In the discussion for this week, we will focus on the use of radio-frequency implanted devices, known as RFIDs. This discussion will help you begin to think about the APA-formatted paper due this week on the topic of RFIDs and Smartcards. Consider this scenario: The hospital administrators have chosen to include the smart card or implanted RFID in their plan for patient care delivery. However, your client base is resistant to the idea of using the smart card. In your discussion response, please address each of the following questions: 1. What are the pros and cons for using the smartcard or RFID? 2. How would you balance the concerns related to the cons, while trying to incorporate its use into the healthcare system? 3. Identify groups or individuals who could immediately benefit from the use of the technology, and why is that so?

As indicated in T1, each team member should serve as a team leader once before the semester’s midpoint (during Weeks 2-6) and at least once after the midpoint (during Weeks 8-13). The Team Leader will be responsible for setting up team meetings, running the meetings, managing and coordinating team tasks, communicating with team members and the course instructor (if necessary), and turning in any project-related deliverables on behalf of the team. The T5 requires that you write a self-reflection about your leadership experience on our class project. Request feedback from your team members prior to writing your self-reflection. Part 1 – ITP Metrics Peer FeedbackComplete the ITP Metrics Peer Feedback before Week 8.  Once all team members complete the assessment, a customized report will automatically be generated and emailed to each member.

Part 2 – Request Specific Feedback
Using the following questions as a guide, use class time in Week 8 to obtain feedback from your fellow teammates: 

What am I doing that helps you complete your tasks?
How can I better support you to complete your tasks (what could I do differently that would help you complete your tasks)?
Am I providing enough guidance and information when delegating work?
Were you happy with the autonomy/responsibility you were given to complete your tasks?
How prepared was I as a team leader?
Did I fairly and equitably allocate work?
Was I responsive to your concerns and questions?

Through this exercise, you will gain experience giving and receiving feedback, an essential skill.
Part 3 – Write your self-reflectionOnce you have received and reviewed the ITP Peer Feedback report and in-class feedback from your team members, write and submit a 3–5-page assignment that analyzes your team leadership effectiveness and answers the questions below.

How did your team members respond to your team leadership? To answer this question, specifically integrate the results and learnings from Parts 1 and 2. Make sure you identify and discuss both the positive and negative feedback you received and the specific feedback from each teammate.
Did the feedback you received surprise you? As you reflect on the behaviors/practices you used and your EI and personality assessment results, was the feedback consistent with your view of your leadership effectiveness?  Why or why not?  Please be specific in your response.
Based on the feedback and your effectiveness assessment, how can you improve your leadership skills? Specifically, what new behaviors and practices will you implement the second time you serve as team leader, and how will these changes improve aspects of your emotional intelligence?  Consider this your leadership plan for improving your skills.
What challenges do you anticipate in implementing these changes (e.g., resistance from the team, your ability to go outside of your comfort zone, etc.)? Please be specific in your response.
Identify one crucial lesson or critical takeaway you have learned about leadership from your experience and explain how you will apply it to other teams in the future (such as for other classes, sports or student organizations, and professional internships or jobs).

 find an article or news story about some whistleblowing situation.  Please do not use high-profile cases like Snowden or Manning. If you can  find the same story described by different sources all the better. Do  not use some personal experience unless it was discussed in credible new  sources. I need to be able to verify the account.  Then,  using the attached worksheet discuss the case. Specifically, after  telling me a sentence or two about the case, you will identify all of  the key stakeholders and how you feel they were negatively impacted. For  example, if someone released company records and emails to blow the  whistle, discuss whose emails and how the information led to actions  against them. If no one was negatively impacted, then why use it for  this case study?  Discuss  the final outcome (see directions) and most importantly, use your moral  compass to describe or explain why you feel someone’s actions were  morally wrong. Again, if there was no wrongdoing, why was some whistle  blown?

Discuss  the final outcome (see directions) and most importantly, use your moral  compass to describe or explain why you feel someone’s actions were  morally wrong. Again, if there was no wrongdoing, why was some whistle  blown? 
Finally,  imagine you are in a leadership position. What could you reasonably do  to keep the situation from happening again, to prevent the need for  someone to feel a need to blow the whistle? Depending on the situation,  you may feel the real wrongdoer is the whistleblower. If so, then  describe why what the company/government did or is doing is justified,  again using your moral theories.
This  case study will be evaluated using the attached grading table. Please  use this to your advantage to check your work before submitting. Be sure  to apply at least one ethical system in depth, including the  application of at least 3 specific aspects of that system to the  analysis of all parts of the worksheet/case study.
