Based on Chapter 4 of Management Principles for Health Professionals, can you help me write a 600-word paper describing my views of leadership and...

This is a somewhat complex assignment. The way you approach it will need to be based on your own experience in the field. An IT manager within the health care industry will need different skills and fill a different role than a nursing supervisor and an office manager in a small private practice will need different skills than a CEO of a hospital chain. As this assignment asks you to cover a fair range of topics, your first task might be to organize it.


You might introduce your paper with a paragraph about what you think makes a great leader. There is no right or wrong answer to this, as there are many different successful leadership styles. Some leaders are visionaries who lead by imagining a compelling idea of the future of health care while others are best at hiring and motivating skilled employees and supporting their visions. Some managers are very detail focused and others better at the big picture. Thus your first paragraph should focus on what you think is the most successful management style and one you most wish to emulate.


Your second paragraph might briefly describe your current responsibilities and the position you would like to have five years from now. After describing that briefly, you should show how the leadership style you most admire would help you be effective in that position. Address the types of expertise and daily supervisory skills you need (such as the ability to allocate staffing resources) and think about how you can go beyond just effective logistics to inspire and develop your staff.


As you work on this, you should take into account what sort of leadership style is most effective for what sort of staff. If you supervise highly trained experts such as doctors, you will be focused more on fostering their own creativity and expertise, but if you are supervising food preparation and delivery within a hospital, you may want a more authoritarian style, focusing on following strict protocols.

etymology - Origin of the greeting "Sweet dreams".

Does anybody know the etymology of the phrase "sweet dreams"? I tried googling but did not find anything satisfying. Is this a relatively new phrase of the modern world or has this been in use for some time? I think it's the latter one. Answer The OED has the interjection as "a farewell to someone going to bed" from the 20th century: 1908 Sears Roebuck Catal. 198/1 Tenor Solos..Good Bye, Sweet Dreams, Good Bye. But it goes back until at least the 19th and possibly 18th centuries. John Wolcot, writing under the pseudonym of Peter Pindar, used it in his poem "Orson and Ellen; A Legendary Tale" published in 1801: Also from 1801 in The infernal Quixote (Page 287) by Charles Lucas: In the March 1776 of The Universal Magazine was published "The Serenade. A Pastoral Tale. From the German of Gesner" , where the shepherd Daphnis watches over his beloved as she sleeps and sings: The same tale appears in 1776's as Idyl XI, " Daphnis ...

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

What are the similarities between the relationships of the characters in The Outsiders and Romeo and Juliet?

At first glance, it might appear as if the characters in  The Outsiders  by S. E. Hinton and  Romeo and Juliet  by William Shakespeare do not have much in common; however, when one isolates the core of the conflicts, it becomes clear that the relationships in both stories are rooted in rivalry and secrecy.  In both  The Outsiders  and  Romeo and Juliet , an overarching theme is rivalry. While   socioeconomic status separates the greasers from the Socs in The Outsiders , last names separates the Montagues from the Capulets, who appear to be relatively equal in terms of socioeconomic status. Due to these rivalries, there are instances of deadly interactions in both stories. In  The Outsiders , Johnny kills Bob (whether his actions were justified or not is debatable). In  Romeo and Juliet , Romeo kills Tybalt and Paris, and Tybalt kills Mercutio. These deaths have profound effects on the main characters. In Ponyboy's case, the Johnny's death and other events in the novel inspire h...
