The primary purpose of this paper is to examine conflict resolution in an adult learning team enviroment.

It needs a very clear thesis statement along the lines of this I have aded below.

This paper on conflict resolution and team dynamics will include information about communication, responsibility, and conflict. Understanding team dynamics is important to working successfully with others. The dynamics of a team are the forces that produce activity and change of the team as well as the forces and motions that characterize the team. As every team is comprised of different people the dynamics of each team will be unique. In today's online education systems we must understand the real execution of team effort and how to achieve quality work and top performance as a group.
Communication plays an essential role in team dynamics. Each team member should be able to communicate well with other members of the team both individually, and as a group. A team captain can help with communication issues as well as keeping the team on track. Lack of leadership, conversely affects the team in its focus and goal achievement

In one 700- to 800-word paper, examine one aspect of team dynamics. Include the following elements in your examination:

* A thesis statement, introduction, body, and conclusion
* A minimum of four references
* APA formatting

Team/Individual Case Study:
Select a team or individual that is currently in-season so that you can track their progress and any issues they encounter. You can choose a team that is not currently in-season but make sure you can gather information from their most recent season.

A. Case Study Information: Gather information on your team over the past month from any available sources (i.e., websites, newspapers, magazines, television etc). Information gathered should be related to mental training, team dynamics or the mental components of sport. In addition, you should pay particular attention to direct quotes from players or coaches that relate to mental training. You will want to gather as much information as possible because you will be using it to identify potential issues.
B. Journal: As you gather information you should write journals briefly summarizing your findings. 6 journal entries are required which cover the past month. Each entry should summarize the information that you found with a focus on the mental components of your team or individual?s performance. You should also include any thoughts on how to deal with each issue. This journal will help you identify the key issues the team or person is facing. Each entry should be dated and included in your final paper.

Final Paper: The final part of your Case Study will be a paper which identifies 3 issues your team or individual faced and your ideas for how to deal with those issues. You should use the information you gathered to identify the issues. In most cases it will be easy for you to identify an issue or problem the team faced, however there will be some leeway in how you choose the issues. As long as there seems to be some evidence supporting your claims that the team or individual struggled in some area will be acceptable. After identifying 3 issues you should discuss strategies that you might use to deal with each issue. Your paper should follow the following format:

Introductory paragraph: Provide general information about your team or player. This can include their record, any relevant history, useful information on certain players or coached etc. This paragraph should just introduce the team or person and give any information you think would be useful.

Second paragraph: Identify the first issue your team or individual faced. Discuss the issue and why you think it arose. Provide evidence for why you chose that issue and talk about how it affected the team or player. Then provide some suggestion for how you might deal with the issue if you were working with the team or player. Give specific examples of things you would do, or discussions you would have to help resolve the issue.

Third paragraph: Identify the second issue and discuss as above.
Fourth paragraph: Identify the third issue and discuss as above.
Final paragraph: Briefly discuss this project, what you learned, and how it might help you in the future.

Journals: After your last paragraph you should include the 6 journal entries from the past month.

Break down:

Intro 10%
Identification of issues 30%
Strategies 45%

? Global Leadership Competencies: Managing Cultural Conflict

This assignment is designed to get you to think about how you would function as a leader in a situation where there is cultural conflict among people who are from various parts of the world, but who must work together as professionals.

Assume you are the leader of a six-person team, and all team members work out of an office in New Jersey. The team is a diverse group, including people from different backgrounds, ages, and perspectives. Your team comprises the following individuals:

? John, a 43-year-old African American man has lived in New Jersey his whole life; ? Julie, a 22-year-old Asian American woman who just graduated from a college in California; ? Tom, a 50-year-old white American man who grew up in a small town in the Midwest; ? Jinsoo, a 30-year-old South Korean national who maintains close ties with his homeland; ? Darius, a 32-year-old man, now a U.S. citizen, who came to the United States from Iran 10 years ago; and ? Harpreet, a 30-year-old woman who came to the United States from India with her parents as a young child.

The team is working together on a project for a health care client, called the Monitor Project. This effort has the goal of developing a mobile software application for patient monitoring, and it is due to be delivered in 30 days. You, as the team leader, have a lot riding on this project, including a promotion and a bonus.

But you are having a problem with team dynamics. Darius and Harpreet, the newest members of the team, joined the team three months ago, and each was hired to bring a specialized skill set that is required by the project. The rest of the team members have been together for a year. All team members, including Darius and Harpreet, need to work together closely. However, these two team members do not get along, and they have been arguing and complaining about each other for the last month. Today, Harpreet complained to you that Darius, as a Muslim, has been deliberately undermining her and does not respect her because she is a woman and a Hindu. The rest of team is becoming distracted by the situation, and their performance has begun to slip. Your ability to keep the project on schedule is also becoming compromised. You are concerned that the situation will undermine productivity and create an unpleasant work environment.

What do you?their team leader?do? What types of leadership will you use? Describe how you would manage the situation. Your response should take the form of a 4-page double-spaced essay. Your essay should fully address each of the following components:

1) An assessment of the situation. What is happening, and why? 2) An identification of the general options for addressing the situation. What are the different approaches for dealing with the problem? What leadership behaviors and methods will be needed? 3) Your decision on what you will do and why. What are some options? What is your preferred solution, and why will it work? 4) A description of the specific steps you will take. How, exactly, will you implement your solution? 5) Your expectation for the outcomes of those steps. What do you expect will happen if your solution is successful? 6) A ?Plan B.? What will you do if your initial approach does not work out?

This assignment is worth 25% of your final grade. It will be graded based on the following:

1) the quality of your analysis of the situation; 2) the quality of your proposed solution; 3) your use of the reading material demonstrated through the required references; and 4) the clarity of your presentation of the material. Use more than four pages if necessary to explain your solution to this situation.

Prepare a 900-1,050-word paper in which you analyze how a group can become a high-performance team. Include in your paper an evaluation of Microsoft and ethical considerations of globalization, and how it may affect team dynamics


If you used a printed source please attach a copy of the data to your paper.

Find an in-depth profile of a current business organization. (For suggestions, check out Yahoo! at http://biz.yahoo.com/i/.) Put yourself in the role of an outside consultant who has been brought in to analyze the team dynamics and conflict situations in this organization. Based on the Organizational Behavior theories you learn in this course, ask yourself, "How can this organization run more efficiently and effectively?" Write a 12-page report that describes your findings and makes detailed recommendations.


Part One
Write a one-page summary of the organization you chose.

Part Two
Write an assessment of each of the following topics:

Work-group productivity
Social influence
Individual differences and personality
The habits of effective people
Perception and attribution
Motivation
High-performance teams
Effective and ineffective team roles
Quality management and teamwork
Group decision-making techniques
Leadership, management, and followership
Employees managing their managers
Power and politics
The communication process
Giving and receiving feedback
Sources of conflict
Conflict resolution
Negotiation

For each bullet point listed above, provide a definition of the term/idea/process and then make a recommendation about how the company can improve in that area.

When you cannot find information for your organization on one of the topics, you should make assumptions based on other information in the profile. Be sure to note all assumptions.

Part Three
Write a one-page summary of your findings.

Additional Requirements
The paper must conform to the following guidelines:

It must be at least 12 pages long (double-spaced, using a standard 12-point proportional font).

You must refer to at least three sources.

You may refer to no more than two Internet sources, not including printed books or articles from magazines and journals that you access through the Web.

All citations should be in APA (American Psychological Association) style.

While looking for sources for your paper, bear several points in mind. In the paper itself, you must demonstrate how each source is related to the overall theme of the paper and to the other sources. If a source is only tangentially related to the topic and the other sources, then do not cite it unless you absolutely must. Read your sources closely; when you write about them, analyze the component parts of the author's argument in order to explain how it supports your own. This process starts with your choice of the passages to cite and the analysis of specific phrases or passages of the text. Be wary of information from the Internet; some of it is not reliable. The following are a few general standards to consider when trying to judge the validity of online sources:

Authorship: Can you determine the author of the text/site? If it is not clearly stated, can you find out more through an Internet search? Reputable texts should clearly acknowledge their source.

Accuracy: Does the general context of facts, events, etc., seem reasonably accurate? Outdated or clearly inaccurate information should be warning signs for the text as a whole.

Access: How did you get to the site? Through a reference search engine, a recommendation, an advertisement? The more random and/or commercial the path you took to the site, the more cautious you should be about its content.

Availability: Is the site accessible visually? Are there frequent errors in downloading, or large files that are unreliable? For scholarly reference purposes, the site must be accessible, reliable, and stable.

Consider the stages that the practice setting would go through over a nine-month time frame.
Examine data that supports the need for your improvement initiative and determine which quality improvement and patient safety tools would best represent the data (flow charting, cause-effect diagrams, control charts, root cause analysis).
Select team members for your quality improvement effort.
Identify who at your practice setting would be the senior leader or sponsor for meeting the improvement needs of chosen indicator.
To complete:
In a paper approximately 15??"20 pages in length:
Part 1: State the problem and mission in measurable terms; clearly state the unit of analysis.
Explain why your selected nursing indicator is a priority for your organization and support your selection with data.
Identify which quality improvement model best fits your nursing indicator and justify your selection with evidence from the research literature.
Detail the primary measurement that you will be utilizing, and the goal, in comparison to an external source (i.e. scores received by other similar health care organizations on your nursing indicator).
Synthesize strategies for managing any ethical dilemmas presented by the initiative.
Part 2: Describe the team: membership, roles, facilitators, background/experience, and motivation within, followed with an analysis of the leadership role of the sponsor for this project.
Document the team process: determine meeting frequency, ability to fulfill roles on the team, etc. As this is a simulation exercise, you will create this information using best practices as a guide.
What leadership qualities should this senior leader or sponsor possess?
Do you believe this sponsor to be a transactional leader or a transformational leader?
What managerial attributes and actions would this senior leader need to employ to ensure that the staff will buy into workplace changes?
Predict how the senior leader role will evolve throughout the quality improvement journey.
Part 3: Formulate possible evidence-based practices and an action plan that could work towards achieving improvement outcomes.
Provide insight into the diagnostic processes (e.g., root cause analysis) used to determine the primary causes of the problem. Consider both qualitative (cause-effect diagram, barrier analysis), and quantitative (theory testing or drill down analysis) methods.
Analyze the cost-effectiveness of your initiative and how your initiative mitigates risk and improves health care outcomes.
Part 4: Summarize the impact of the team process on the nurse sensitive indicator.
Analyze monthly or weekly data points of the nine-month period.
Include a timeline that documents the various milestones seen from implementation to completion of the nine-month quality improvement model. You may use the quality improvement model of your choice (PDSA, DMAIC, Lean).
Demonstrate meaningful improvement utilizing a key metric such as graphs, control charts, or other valid statistical analysis capable of showing trends.
Part 5: Summarize the positive attributes of the team process in creating improvement.
Attributes can include, but are not limited to: motivation to improve, conflict and conflict resolution, change theory as applied to implementation strategy, negotiation, the role of senior leader in securing resources for the team, and other organizational and team dynamics.

I would like to write a response letter to my manager and HR regarding a writing warning that i received at work.
I started in a new position in another facility (hospital) about 18 months ago.I am a nurse and my job title is clinical research coordinator for the cardiac surgery service.I have a over 20 plus years of experience in this field.I am currently enrolled in a Master program for health care management.When i arrived to my job and met the staff i would be in charge of they clearly let me know that i was not welcomed in every form( verbal,gestures and actions).It is a seasoned nursing staff that i was in charge of.Not flexible and resistant to change.Unfortunately, i was brought in by my boss(Chief of Surgery) to act as an agent of "change".It is one of my duties to implement new processes for patient care and raise the skill levels of the staff.My interpersonal relationships and interactions were difficult and challenging and continue.This has impacted my career due to the fact that the staff has consistently complained and raised issues to HR about my "disruptive behavior" and interactions with them.I feel like i'm being targeted for other intents -like getting me fired.I was placed on a performance improvement plan last July.One of the things that came about from the plan was my direct supervision of the team was given to another staff member.I consented to this change in order to improve the team dynamics and have a high functional team outcome.They clearly did not want me in charge and were demonstrating it by their performance.
On the document i received it stated a few remarks made by the staff." it is not the intent or content of the message but my delivery""i sigh heavy at times,roll my eyes,move my hands and its perceived as being rude,condescending and dismissive.I don't agree with this warning and i said so at the meeting with HR.She said i can write a response letter to the warning ect.I have not signed the warning yet but, it is clear that i have to.
In all of my years working in this field i have never been placed on a performance plan or given a warning.That in itself speaks on my work ethics.I managed a bigger team and in a fast paced demanding place with success in the past.I am considered an expert in my field by professional academia standards.To the point that i am requested for seminars,presentations ect in my field.I continue to maintain my practice skills and professional development to the highest standards in nursing.
The reason for my request of a writer is to compile a letter that leaves all my angry emotions-feelings out , not sound defensive,finger pointing,negative ect.

This situation is a two way street as well.The staff is not receptive to change, new folks,practices and can also be rude,dismissive and not professional.My biggest concern with them is their practice which is unsafe at times.
I would like support and collaboration from leadership to promote safety and optimal outcomes for the patients by holding the staff accountable and responsible for their practice.
I can accept that maybe my communication skills require further training or education but i cannot accept the other allegations.Hence ,reason I'm in school again.Please feel free to contact me if your require further information.

I will provide you with an outline of the case study (my debate team), towards the end of the instructions here.

Essay task description:
Using your own debate as a case study, evaluate the effectiveness of debates as a communication strategy.

In this essay you will evaluate the effectiveness of debates as a communication strategy. In building your argument you will use your own debate as a case study, analysing two key areas. The two areas that must be considered are the development of team dynamics within your group, and the public speaking strategies used in your presentation. Your argument must be grounded in academic theory and must include analysis of effective communication relevant to the debate process and presentation.

Two key areas which must be considered are the development of team dynamics within your group, and the public speaking strategies used in your presentation.

Your response must include analysis of effective communication relevant to the debate process and your essay must be grounded in academic research.

WHAT ARE YOU BEING ASKED TO DO?
Analyse groups group processes and performance during the debate presentation.

Present your analysis in a formal academic essay.

Through this analysis, you must decide whether debates are an effective communication strategy or not and build a case accordingly.
consider how various elements of communication were utilised in the preparation and presentation of a debate.

How effective was your use of these different elements, eg decision making, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, oral presentation skills?

Overall then are debates an effective communication strategy, or not?

For example, we expect students to define effective communication and then to analyse how effective they were when communicating in their groups (decison making, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, etc), how effective was their debateargument (logical structure, appropriate eveidence, clear thesis, etc), and how well did their team communicate publicly (non-verbal communication such as body language, posture, facial expression, gestures, orverbal communication elementssuch as voice tone, pitch and volume, etc).

Your debate is your case study.
However.with case studies, beware of subjectivity and emotive writing.

STRUCTURE:
-The thesis statement ??" the approach you are going to take, what you are going to be arguing. Sits in the introduction.
-Topic sentences ??" the primary idea of each paragraph. One per paragraph, one idea per paragraph. Each topic sentence has to fit logically with the thesis statement.

THESIS STATEMENT examples:
--Debates are an effective communication strategy because they represent the outcome of team processes, draw on the oral presenting skills of team members and allow the use of ethos, logos and pathos to send a persuasive message.
--Debates are an ineffective communication strategy, as they rely heavily on a functioning team, assume a certain level of public speaking skills and allow emotion to defeat reason and logic in the presentation of their arguments.
--Debates can be an effective communication strategy provided they are presented by a functioning team, with satisfactory public speaking skills. However debates dependence on effective team work and public speaking skills means that if either or both of these elements is missing, they are an ineffective communication strategy.

PARAGRAPH EXAMPLE:
Eye contact is an integral part of presenting and, when utilised appropriately, results in effective communication between a debater and audience. Eye contact is important in the public speaking domain and refers to the extent to which the speaker looks directly at the audience (Pearson etal. 2011:350). There are a number of reasons why consistent eye contact promotes communication of a message to an audience. Firstly, eye contact that encompasses the entire audience and takes in each individual has a greater chance of obtaining their attention (Gamble & Gamble 2010:394). Secondly, and especially in relation to debating, eye contact can be used to gain credibility and to come across as sincere or trustworthy (Floyd 2009:222). Finally, eye contact communicates particular messages that promote rapport with the audience. These messages can be viewed positively as a signal of confidence, warmth, and attentiveness (Pearson etal. 2011:100). Speakers from the affirmative team in the case study reflected these findings. Each employed a strategy of consistent eye contact with the audience, making sure their gaze moved from individual to individual. This process ensured they held the audiences attention, and peer feedback suggested that all speakers were confident and came across as credible and trustworthy. The eye contact utilised by the affirmative team was instrumental in communicating a clear, believable message, and contributed largely to the team winning the debate. Therefore, when an effective eye contact strategy is employed by a team, debates are an effective communication strategy.

REFERENCES:
Your essay should be grounded in research, therefore, this essay must CONTAIN AT LEAST 8 ACADEMIC REFERENCES which are cited throughout the body of the essay.

USEFUL POINTERS:
--Avoid the use of the first or second person ??" I think, our debate when we had meetings.
--Refer to participants as first speaker or affirmative team, etc.

REMEMBER:
--This essay is not a continuation of the debate. You are not presenting analysis of the debate topic and why it is or is not correct.
--Your essay is about the debate itself - your teams performance and argument, the things that contributed to your success or defeat, and whether or not debates are an effective communication strategy.
--Base your response on academic research, then add illustration from your case study to support the theory

CASE STUDY OUTLINE
We were the Affirmitive, with 4 team members. I was the second speaker.
Unfortunately with my group there was an issue of only meeting the one time as a team to discuss and appoint speaker positions. 2 males 2 females (me being the 2nd female speaker). The appointed leader (4th speaker), did not do well with organising team members at all, in fact speakers 3 & 4 failed to show up and respond to messages about meetings regarding the debate, whole lot of empty promises.
On the day of the debate -- group dynamics was weird at first but surprisingly once the debate was under way and as soon as 2nd speaker (me) had spoken the debate did flow quite well, apart from the usual nervousness that people experience from public speaking. 3rd speaker had a very hard time with it (she hates and shy's away from public speaking of any sort) that's why she was placed in 3rd.
The overall experience leading up to the big debate day was awful because there was no organisation, no leadership.
However, the debate went ok considering, I think it is because of these issues we did win the debate (lost by a couple of points). Afterall, the information argued by (the affirmative) us, was killing the opposing teams flimsy irrelavent points, but it was the way it was presented which could have been more convincing if we had practised with mock debates and practised the speaches we had written. ....

WRITER OF ESSAYTOWN-- It makes sense that you choose the direction of the thesis statement (with this case study in mind), i'll let you choose which way to go as to whether debates are an effective form of communication.
