Challenges in Healthcare: Succession Planning Beverly, F. & Rose, S. (2017). Best Practices for Nurse Leaders: Succession Planning. Professional Case Management, 22(2), 88-94.
The authors term succession planning in healthcare a critical need. It should, however, be noted that even in planning for the next generation of leaders in healthcare, we ought to be aware of the fact that the world is changing fast and that the skills of yesterday might not be as effective today. This is one of the messages that the authors of the present article attempt to push through. For this reason, this will be a great resource as I seek to explore the competencies that our future leaders in healthcare need to be equipped with.

The Major Problem Facing Viacom

Aside from the complexities and challenges of the industry itself, Viacom faces an additional major problem in the form of a succession dispute. More precisely, a power struggle for the role of COO of Viacom emerged when longtime COO Mel Karmazin vacated the post in 2004, leaving a vacancy that needed to be filled, and several people vying for the post. Because of this struggle, the organization found itself faced with several succession planning options.

Possible, and Recommended Succession Options

Because of the need to develop an effective succession plan at Viacom, several possible options emerge: the organization could be divided into several entities, giving all of the COO contenders an opportunity to apply their talents for organizational benefit or remain as one and…...

The value of this case study is demonstrative. It demonstrates how contingency planning can be used, but it says nothing of the results.
A quasi-experimental design was used by Chermack & Kim (2008) to explore the effect of scenario planning on decision-making styles. It was found hat participants in scenario planning have a tendency to make a mental shift towards intuitive-based decision-making styles after their participation in the scenario planning process. This study used a limited sample from a single company. However, the study demonstrates that this might be an area of interest for future studies. It examined the effect of the scenario planning process on individuals, rather than on the firm as a whole. This study was unique in its approach to scenario planning. A majority of the studies found in this literature review approached scenario planning from the standpoint of the entire organization and its affects on the…...

Government in Continuity Planning
Since the 1950s, continuity planning has been a major part of U.S. government policy. This is because there were concerns that some kind of nuclear attack or natural disaster could have an adverse impact on entire regions of the country. When this happens the odds increase that there could be various forms of lawlessness in these areas. To mitigate these kinds of situations, continuity planning was created to ensure that vital resources and personnel are dispatched to these kinds of areas. (Daleo, 2009, pp. 919 -- 925) ("Continuity Guidance Circular," 2009)

After September 11th, is when these ideas were once again revisited. In this case, National Security Presidential Directive-51 (NSPD-51) and Homeland Security Presidential Directive-20 (HSPD-20) were enacted to provide a strategy for dealing with disasters. Taking the lead in this area is the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). They have created the Continuity Guidance Circular. This is…...

SDLC Documentation
There are several important types of documentation that should be created and updated as part of a fluid and proper systems development life cycle. The types are all quite different and they are also quite individually important. This report will go into the different types that should exist, what each type covers, why they are each important and the overall update and creation process that should be followed. While some may view documentation as bureaucratic and unnecessary, it is vital that it present and update as having data that is out of date or only in the heads of people that can leave at any time is a disaster waiting to happen if someone not informed on the cycle is put in a position to make important adjustments or decisions.

In the context of higher education, then, redefining mission statements to reflect this wide range of influences requires a balancing act between the interests of all of the stakeholders involved. This not a static, one-time analysis, either, but requires constant reevaluation to ensure that the educational institution is delivering the type of graduates with the skill set needed in the 21st century workplace. For instance, Berg et al. (2008) emphasize that, "It is out of the complex set of alignments as well as realignments in response to changing conditions, that institutional missions are created and, when necessary, transformed. For example, the goals of the external stakeholders and those of the institution must constantly be realigned" (p. 44).

Properly developed in this fashion, some proponents of mission statements maintain that the payoff is worth the effort. According to Bartkus, Glassman and McAffee, "The aim [of the mission statement] is to publicly…...

strong ench
The concept of a strong bench for an organization suggests that an organization becomes a fort in the today's competitive business environment if it has a strong team of employees to support the organizational goals and mission. This concept of strong bench further illustrates that the workforce is not just for the current situation but is geared to the future needs of the organization. The future needs can only be met if the company has talent and it hones the talents of its employees to prepare them for future responsibilities. So, its not just about having strong talented candidates for employees but it also involves engaging them in activities for a future position. If the company then has a strong bench meaning that a pool of honed and geared-up talent ready to assume more responsibilities then it gives that organization an edge.

When considering succession planning it is important to understand the organization's long-term goals and objectives, to identify the workforce's developmental needs and to be able to determine workforce trends and predictions.( Fridenstine, 2006)
As Jan Margolis stated (2005), good succession planning does not involve just a backup plan for successors, it is more than that. It is a tool used by companies to both fill gaps as business needs change and, most importantly, grow their own leaders. At this point it appears obvious where succession planning integrates mentoring. It is in the process of leader formation that mentoring interferes.

Many researchers and theorists have acknowledged that often organizations fail to utilize managerial personnel effectively for leadership development and succession planning systems (Groves, 2007) and many execute these critical practices through separate human resource functions that shift the responsibility for leadership development away from line managers.

Integrating leadership development and succession planning best…...

Addressing this issue is a matter of policy, and difficult to address at the management level. However, extensive recruiting procedures in diverse communities may help to combat the continued disparity of advantages for many minorities. In addition, social representation can be achieved by promoting educational and employment opportunities in a variety of socio-economic settings. The use of internships can also create exposure both of public agencies and of the diverse emerging workforce.
5) There are many different variables that contribute to achieving productivity in the workplace. Research shows that employee satisfaction with their work is a major factor in determining employee productivity. Satisfaction can be improved with increased benefits, including increased wages and salaries, but another very important factor in job satisfaction is the employee's interest in their work and the belief that they are necessary. Promoting a workplace that shows how much it values its employees is essential to…...

The three entrepreneurs were able to pool their collective knowledge. Partnership agreements can ensure that risk is shared by all individuals with a stake in the enterprise: however, unless the partners are in agreement about the direction of the business, it can cause divisiveness and divert attention away from crucial aspects of organizing the business. Williams chose his partners carefully, and his decision seems to have proven successful. Even with the pooled resources of his partners, the company was underfinanced during its early years of expansion, although its struggles actually worked in the company's favor in the long run: using women from churches to market the product (in exchange for donations) associated the food with positive religious influences in the black community, and the extra time enabled Williams to find farmers that would act as an affordable source of fresh produce.
Williams was determined to be loyal to his partners,…...

The purpose of this report is to accurately describe the systems and procedures at the Veterans Administration (VA). This report will fully analyze the history of legislation and court decisions that have implications to the agency's personnel management. Additionally this report will examine the major components of the agency's human resource system's goals and practices regarding hiring and recruitment practices. Finally the report will list recommendations that can improve the agency's success of recruiting and training a diversified workforce.

Laws Affecting the Agency

It is first important to examine the history of the VA itself before examining the more specific human resources department section of the Veterans Administration. According to the VA's website, the formation of this agency in the federal government has demonstrated the political views of this government towards the soldiers who fight the wars for this country. As a result of this relationship, laws, rules and doctrine have…...

## Key Challenges Faced by Companies with Employees Working Overseas

Managing a globally distributed workforce presents unique challenges for organizations. As companies expand their operations across borders, they must navigate cultural differences, legal complexities, and technological hurdles. Here are some of the key challenges faced by companies with employees working overseas:

### Communication and Collaboration Barriers

Effective communication is crucial for seamless collaboration within a team. However, language barriers, time zone differences, and cultural nuances can hinder communication. Misunderstandings and delays can occur when employees from different cultural backgrounds interpret information differently.

### Cultural Differences
