NURS 6221: MANAGING HUMAN RESOURCES – Assignment 6.

Assignment & Portfolio Submission: Coaching Employees

Consider the following scenario:
You were very pleased with your decision to select Mala during your last recruitment initiative. Just out of college, Mala has the enthusiasm and professional drive that could benefit your health care organization. However, you recognize that Mala will have a lot to learn in a clinical setting. As a nurse manager, you have led many successful group trainings, but have far less experience coaching employees one-on-one. You wonder how you should approach this relationship and what steps you should take to increase the positivity and effectiveness of this experience.
Coaching is an ongoing process that is an integral function of the management role. It focuses on the development needs of the employee and is built on a relationship of trust between the leader and follower. Coaching is a powerful activity that demonstrates value of and respect for the employee. In this Assignment, you examine how you could serve as a coach to facilitate an individual?s professional development.

To prepare

Reflect on the information shared in the article, ?Coaching Nurses: A Real Example of a Real Difference.? Which of these best practices might you use to strengthen your own coaching skills?
Review Chapter 7, ?Coaching and Developing Others? in the course text, From Management to Leadership: Strategies for Transforming Health Care. Consider how the author compares coaching staff in a health care setting to coaching athletes, directing a movie, and conducting a symphony. Then, examine the six steps of the coaching process. How does each of the coaching steps build upon one another to create a positive and effective coaching experience?

In preparation for this hypothetical coaching exercise, identify one individual, staff member, or employee (from your current organization or a past setting) who could benefit from coaching. Create a pseudonym for him or her.
Use the six-step coaching process to develop a coaching and development plan.
Note: This assignment also serves as your portfolio submission.

To complete

Submit a 5- to 7-page paper in which you do the following:

Step One: Determine your intention.
Describe your intention and purpose for coaching this specific individual.
Explain the goals, skills, and/or competencies you have in mind, and define your primary focus.
Explain how you would engage this individual in identifying these and other development opportunities.

Step Two: Assess the performer.
Identify the individual?s strengths and level of development.
Explain the leadership style and interventions that would be most appropriate to help this individual achieve his or her identified goals, skills, and/or competencies.

Step Three: Clarify expectations and parameters.
Describe the roles and expectations of both you and the individual.
Outline the learning opportunities you could provide and the order in which they should be approached.
Identify the specific objectives to be achieved for each learning opportunity.
Explain the coaching best practices you would apply and why.

Step Four: Carry out the coaching intervention.
List the coaching questions you might develop to ensure that learning opportunities and interventions are applied as needed, and explain how any additional development opportunities might help to address your intended coaching goals.

Step Five: Observe performance.
Explain the observation method you will use to assess whether or not your coaching has been effective.

The Wilson book states “

art frequently challenges society and is sometimes on the leading edge of history, appearing to forecast the future. More often than not, however, such art simply recognizes what is already present in society but has not yet surfaced.” (page 30) What is your opinion of this statement. Do theatre and films merely reflect changes in society or do they change society, forcing society to push past its limits? Be sure to use examples from film, television and plays to support your opinion.

hypothetical scenario

Paper
? Please use the following hypothetical scenario to answer the following 5 questions. Each question is worth 20 points for a total of 100 points. When complete upload your document to the dropbox below.

Scenario

Janet Johnson, an African American woman, has been working at the Tennessee Hydroelectric plant for 15 years. During that time, his performance reviews have been exemplary. She decided to apply for the new plant foreman position. Although she felt that she was eminently qualified for the position, she also was growing tired of a certain good old boy culture at the plant. For years, the plant has had a culture of highly lewd ?jokes,? and many of the employees had also engaged in inappropriate touching of female employees. The plant had an anti-harassment policy on record, but Janet?s boss shrugged and said ?boys will be boys? when she reported the harassment to him.

Competition for the position was fierce. But ultimately, Jose Martinez, a Chilean man, received the position. Jose had 7 years of experience. Unbeknownst to the applicants the promotion board secretly ran a credit check on the applicants. Janet credit score came in as lower as average, and this factored into the board?s decision. Although he met the qualifications of the position, one of the hiring managers told Janet in confidence that Janet was the most qualified person for the job. And the other managers had applied a racial preference on Jose?s behalf due to there never having been a Latino manager at the plant even though Latino?s represented 35% of employees at the plant. Janet sues the plant for disparate treatment, disparate impact, and sexual harassment under Title VII.

Questions
2. List the elements of disparate treatment and apply them to this case. Can Janet prove a prima facie case? How would the plant rebuff these charges? Who would ultimately prevail?
3. List the elements of a disparate impact case and apply them to this case? Will Janet prevail on this charge?
4. List the elements of the sexual harassment case and apply them to this case? Can the plant establish an affirmative defense?
5. If the plant argues that it applied a racial preference to Jose to correct a manifest imbalance at the plant of underutilization of certain minorities, will the plant prevail? Why or why not?
6. Was it legal to use the credit check as a factor in the promotion decision the way that it was done here? Why or why not?

What is Love?

Details:
Much of what occurs in marriages and families is described as love or the absence of love. We sometimes say that we are ?in love? or are falling in love with someone. Since the word love is also used to describe our feelings about things such as a certain kind of food (?I love chocolate ice cream.?) or objects such as a car or a movie (e.g., ?I loved the movie we saw last night.?), people who study relationships have suggested that human love can take different forms or be one of several different types.
Consider the four different types of love outlined near the beginning of Chapter 6: storge, philia, eros, and agape. In an essay of 500-750 words, include the following:
Describe the relationships of at least two different couples you know who exemplify different types of love. (For example, one couple may have an eros type of love for each other while the other may have an agape type of love.)
Explain why you think each relationship you described is the type that you think it is. If you are married, have been married, or if you were to marry someone, do you, did you, or would you want your love for the other person to be of one or another of these types? Why?
Provide a minimum of three to five scholarly sources to support your analysis and conclusion.
