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?

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).

Week 2 Discussion

Are you an Avocado or An Artichoke?

The purpose of this discussion assignment is to reflect upon your understanding of the two main philosophical approaches to the self. After completing your readings, write a 
1-2 page paper comparing and contrasting the avocado/modernist idea of the self with the artichoke/postmodern view. 

As you develop your response, you might find some of the following questions to be relevant:
· What is the avocado idea of the self? What is your understanding of Plato and Aristotle’s belief that reason is the core essence of human beings?
· What is the artichoke idea of the self? What is your understanding of the existential idea that our existence determines our essence?
· What do you make of the concern that the avocado idea of the self values reason over emotion? What are the implications of this view for women?
· Are you an avocado or an artichoke? Or do you find the non-Western views of the self to be more compelling?

Word Count and Structure Guidelines
(not including title, headings, or bibliography)
Include a title page that includes your name and cohort.
An introduction that summarizes the entire paper. (5-10 sentences).

Note that this is not a description of what the paper is about but a summary of the entire paper. In other words, if someone only read the opening paragraph, would they have a strong understanding of your analysis and recommendations?

Strengthen your storytelling by using numbers and charts, where/if relevant.
Provide a minimum of three (3) relevant sources, cited in A.P.A. format.

Pitfalls to Avoid

Do not answer the paper in a Q&A format or bullet points.
Avoid explaining your process, especially with language such as “I did”. This of this more like a documentary where you are the narrator.
