On the other hand, the comparative value of the real-time presentation must be considered in relation to the potential technical issues involved. Specifically, whereas pre-recorded presentations and self-directed learning online training programs can be tested and perfected in advance to ensure there are no technical problems with delivery, that is not necessarily the case with real-time presentations, especially those involving two-way communications. No matter how much preparation and troubleshooting is conducted in advance, live two-way presentations are notoriously susceptible to technical problems that can interfere with planning and lesson delivery. Moreover, the more computer terminals and office locations involved, the greater that potential for difficulties in execution.
Anticipated Problems
Beyond technical delivery-of-training issues, other anticipated potential problems associated with online employee training include lower levels of individual engagement and reduced opportunity for meaningful interpersonal exchanges. In that regard, even the best corporate instructors cannot implement all of the same teaching techniques across digital media that they can in person. Even where real-time two-way presentations allow bi-directional views, the instructor cannot make eye contact with individual employees to gauge interest and engagement, much less to encourage individual participation. Furthermore, online employee training are generally associated with lower levels of compliance and absorption of information, particularly in connection with self-directed learning modules by virtue of the inherent vulnerability of multiple-choice tests to satisfaction by repeated test-taking without necessarily making a good-faith effort to learn the substantive material (Robbins & Judge, 2009).
Lesson Delivery and the Role of Supervisors
Despite the inherent problems and relative inefficiency of digital media-based employee training in comparison to traditional in-person training,...

The caregiver role includes those activities that assist the client physically, mentally, and emotionally, while still preserving the client's dignity. In order for one to be an effective caregiver, the patient must be treated in a holistic manner. Proper communication and advocacy is another role that the modern caregiver assumes when providing quality care (Carroll). It is in the role of patient advocacy and cost-cutting that most nursing leaders are
Leadership Models LITERATURE REVIEW OF SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP Situational leadership is a leadership paradigm proposed by Hersey and Blanchard as an alternative to the simplistic trait theories of leadership in vogue at the time. The main feature of the situational leadership theory of Hersey and Blanchard is that leaders are able to adapt their leadership styles to the level of readiness of the followers (Bovee et al. 1993). Employee readiness is a function
Leadership in Organizations Leader-behavior approach Leadership refers to the process of influencing other people towards attainment of organizational or group goals. Leadership entails three key factors: first, leadership is a process of social influence. It is non-existent without followers and a leader. Second, leadership requires that the followers act voluntarily. The nature of compliance is voluntary thus differentiating leadership from other forms of influence based on formal authority. Finally, leadership elicits behavior
