Leadership and Diversity
What would you consider?
I would consider that this is a very diverse group. Group members come from different ethnicities. The "Asian Group" is the strongest as it consists of four group members: Julie, Jinsoo, Arash and Harpeet. There is only one American: John. There is only one representative of Europe: Tom. Group members are of different age ranging between 30 years (Harpeet) and 51 years (Julie). Group members are also of different gender. There are two women: Julie and Harpeet, both of them having an Asian background. Both their gender and ethnicity and the fact that they are a minority in the group will probably make them prone to develop a closer relationship (e.g., be allies) than to the rest of the group. The rest of the four group members are males. I would find it also important that the group members share different religious beliefs. Certainly I would consider that there is a Muslim-Hindu conflict in India which might cause difficulties in the work-relationship between Arash (Muslim) and Harpeet (Hindu), both of them being also of different gender but of almost same age (Arash: 32 and Harppet:...
As the case shows us exactly these two issues (religious background and gender) have been the cause for the conflict between Arash and Harpeet. Being the group leader, I would certainly have in mind that the conflict between the two of them might result in an inability of the whole group to develop a shared team vision, come to agreement, openly share ideas, work together or produce the needed critical team results under utmost time pressure of only 30 days (see Team Conflict Management Strategies, p. 1). I would furthermore consider that he only two group members that have unique skills are Arash and Harpeet. Therefore it is important for a successful work result of the whole group that both of them reconcile as soon as possible. I would also consider lack of common work experience in the whole group. Four of the group members work together for 9 months: John, Julie, Jinsoo and Tom. The two "newcomers" are just the two opponents: Arash and Harpeet. The fact that both of them are the "youngsters" within the team, both in team membership and real age, might serve as a basis for reconciliation between the two. It seems reasonable that they might…

Diversity Training The school aims to recruit students that will balance the spectrum of diversity. Before this can be accomplished however, existing and future employees of the university will need to be prepared. "Diversity is about encouraging and enabling all employees to draw on their talents, skills, and experience for the benefit of the business."

Leadership and Management of Nursing Shortage and Nurse Turn-Over Several research scholars have stressed the significance of effective healthcare leadership, and leadership by nurses is critical to this, since nurses constitute the largest healthcare worker group. For more effective nurse recruitment, hospital leadership should support the profession of nursing.
