Prepare a 10–12-slide PowerPoint presentation for department managers on building leadership and trust in collaborative teams. Perhaps the best predictor of team success is its clarity of purpose and the team's commitment to achieving it. To support that purpose, a team needs a process that moves smoothly from vision and mission to goals and tasks in order to achieve the desired outcomes. The foundation of both purpose and process is leadership. Show Less Any form of collaboration is an inherently human process. The culture of an organization can dramatically affect team efficacy and performance. The glue that holds teams together is trust. Three factors can help build trust in collaborative environments: performance and competence, integrity, and concern for the well-being of others. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Explain strategies for effective interprofessional teamwork and collaboration in health care delivery. Identify leadership behaviors that build trust and undermine trust within teams. Describe strategies team members can use to build trust among each other. Describe principles of effective interprofessional team leadership. Competency 2: Analyze the implications of working with interprofessional teams in multifaceted health care settings. Explain the consequences of a team that does not trust its leader in terms of patient safety. Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations of a nursing professional.

Toggle Drawer Context "There is a need for nursing leaders to provide inspiration, mentorship, and direction, whether it be for a patient or the profession" (Mahoney, 2001, p. 269). Mahoney's point is that leaders are needed at all levels, all functions, and all specialties of nursing. Leadership skills are especially important when guiding or facilitating a team. Show Less But what makes a skilled leader? Aranda, Aranda, and Conlon (1998) suggest that five elements are critical: sharing an inspired vision, challenging team processes, modeling effective team behaviors, empowering team members, and encouraging the heart (pp. 45–46). Leaders must deal with conflict, decision making, and goal achievement. In health care today, there are more teams (including virtual teams) of multidisciplinary professionals than ever before. To lead these teams effectively and successfully, the roles and responsibilities of each team member need to be clearly defined, along with clear descriptions of how the team will make decisions. Trust is an important factor in multidisciplinary team collaboration as well, and it is measured in terms of reliability and communication. A competent and effective leader knows how to build trust across boundaries (geographic, cultural, gender, age, et cetera) to tap the skills and talents of each team member, resulting in team success.

Assessment Instructions Requirements You have been asked by organizational leadership to develop a PowerPoint presentation for department managers on building leadership and trust in collaborative teams. Your presentation should be 10–12 slides in length and include a references slide at the end. Use the notes section of each slide to expand your talking points and reference your resources. Be sure your references are formatted according to APA guidelines. This assessment examines two critical components for interprofessional team success: leadership and trust. Develop a PowerPoint presentation in which you: Identify at least three leadership behaviors that build trust within a team. Identify at least three leadership behaviors that undermine trust within a team. Explain the consequences of a team that does not trust its leader in terms of patient safety. Describe strategies team members can use to build trust among one another in terms of skill, knowledge, and responsibility. Describe principles of effective interprofessional team leadership. In other words, what skills and qualities should a good team leader possess? Is there a difference between being a good leader and being an effective leader? Additional Requirements Include a title slide and references slide. Create 10–12 slides in addition to the title and references slides. Use at least three current scholarly or professional resources. Use APA format for references. Be creative. Consider your target audience.

However, you cannot find any written documentation of thattime period, so you must conduct an archaeological excavation.As you dig you come across various items which reveal a lot about the culture and society of thetwenty-first century. Prepare a presentation describing what you found. Select a location for your dig, andidentify the artifacts, features, and ecofacts (any plant or animal remains you might find at the dig site) you foundduring your fieldwork. What do these items tell you about the culture and society of the twenty-first century?1. Prepare a report or a presentation describing at least 5 objects you found and explaining what they revealabout the culture and society you studied.2. Include a map of the location you chose to dig and visual representations of each of the objects you found.3.
