Unit VIII Scholarly Activity _Advanced Healthcare Management

Q instruction for scholarly activity: To create an effective healthcare organization, there must be effective leaders. To be the most effective leader you can be, you must continually be observing and learning new leadership skills and techniques. One way to observe and learn is to keep a work journal of leadership lessons, into which you can make entries each day or week. You might even choose to write leadership lessons learned in a notebook, then type them out later in the day or week. For this assignment, create your own Work Journal of Leadership Lessons Learned. Create as many entries as you want and have your entries be alphabetized by topic, for example if you chose to write on Accountability and leadership lessons you have learned there, that topic would come before Communication techniques learned. Your journal must be at least 400 words in length and submitted as a word document. There is no APA requirement for this assignment, since these will be your words in your journal. You can have as many journal entries in this document as you want, but you are only required to submit a minimum of 400 words. If you write on one topic for 400 words, that is fine, or you can choose multiple topics. Based on your observations and lessons you have learned, there are hundreds of leadership topics you might choose for a journal entry. For example, see the unit lecture on the topics under Formula for Success, or the topics under Effective People & Leadership Skills. instruction for external environment report: Complete an analysis of the key external factors that have implications for successful implementation of your organization’s VMO, strategy and goals/objectives. You will examine your organization’s industry and the competitive conditions/positioning affecting it now or likely to do so in the future. Submit your work in your assignment folder in the form of an approximate 2,000-word double-spaced APA-formatted paper. The title page, reference list, and any appendices are not included in this suggested word count. You do not need to include an abstract. Your paper should address these topics: 1. A brief explanation of the industry (or industries) in which your organization operates as well as context for your organization’ current positioning. 2. Analyze the current conditions in your organization’s industry and in its relevant general environment and their likely implications for successful implementation of your organization’s strategic goals and related actions. Be sure to address the PESTEL framework. 3. Apply Porter’s Five-Forces Model to enrich your understanding of the environment in which your organization is now or may be operating. The Five Forces model should stress that this model is used to evaluate the industry, not your selected organization’s activities. The model should be used to isolate the dominant force(s) in the industry faced by all competitors and that produce the greatest threat to your organization’s profits and/or strategy. You should discuss how your firm can provide a defense against this threat or threats. 4. Describe your organization’s strategic group and construct a map to show its relative market position. Add in a discussion of your rationale for the grouping. 5. Summarize the threats and opportunities facing your organization gleaned from your analysis. (SWOT analysis) Submit the SWOT format in Table form and add in some narrative to discuss the threats and opportunities in more detail. Explain in your discussion (not in the table) why you selected them and how they relate to the VMO and organization’s strategy. 6. Evaluate the extent to which your organization’s current strategy appears a good match for the competitive conditions it confronts or any gaps that must be addressed. 7. Add in a strong conclusion that ensures the reader leaves your paper with a clear recap of your key points

Entry 1 Leaders are the backbone of any organization and their personality and levels of impact can go a long way in determining the way the employees will behave and perform. While there are many leaders who become an integral part of any organization, there are only few who can make a difference, creating an organizational pattern and network that is not just objective oriented and envisioned with strategies but also aligned with the enthusiasm to create a positive work culture mixed with encouragement for one another.
