Scenario
Imagine that Lynette follows up with you in an e-mail shortly after reading your views on leadership and collaboration:
Hi,
Thanks for sending me your thoughts last week on the diversity issue at the clinic. Your next step is to select a team of professionals who can help you in this project and prepare an introduction of the project for a first meeting with them.
I want you to prepare a presentation to serve as a brief, but substantive introduction for the first meeting with a group of 4–5 members who will participate on the committee tasked with addressing the diversity issue. Once I review more information about the proposed team I can help you with the recruitment. The presentation should be 5–7 minutes and use 6–8 slides with detailed speaker’s notes so I can understand your approach. Not a lot of time or space, so keep things pretty high level. Do the following:
2. Briefly outline the project goals and highlight 2–3 of the initial priorities to be addressed by the group. Also, explain why they are important.
2. Explain the composition of the team and why you chose them. Note that you will not know the exact individuals yet, but assume we will recruit the people with the desired qualities and characteristics that you outline in the presentation. Consider the following:
. Include a group of professionals you believe can help define the problem and ultimately make recommendations on how to address it.
. Make sure each member is either train

Assessment 1 Scenario
Use the following scenario as a basis to complete Assessment 1.
Imagine that you work in a health care facility and your boss has just stopped by your office and
says the following:
Hi, I just have a couple of minutes – please forgive me for stopping in without advanced notice. One
of the results of a recent employee survey at Lakeland Clinic indicates we have some issues to
address. The data show 75% of the employees have concerns about at least one of the following:
diversity issues, workplace incivility, and poor work-life balance.
Senior leadership has asked me how I plan to respond, and my first inclination is to put you in
charge of assembling a team to address one of the issues. You have demonstrated effective
organizational and communication on other projects and I think you will be a great asset as we
move forward.
I have to run right now, but I’ll send you an email with more information before I leave today. See
you later!
Subsequent Email:
Thanks for talking with me this morning. I just want you to know that this is really a great
opportunity for you. I know you have been interested in taking steps to becoming a leader in this
organization and now it’s time to realize your potential.
As you know we opened the Lakeland Medical Clinic to serve area residents who were unable or
unwilling to use the services offered at the main hospital. The first two months of operation saw
strong patient volume. Since then, the numbers have dropped off dramatically. This prompted
leadership to start asking some questions, which lead to the internal survey that I mentioned
yesterday.
I just met with leadership and they determined that the priority right now is the diversity issue
because we have the opportunity to improve outcomes for both employees and the community.
This is part of an e-mail I got from the clinic director last week:
“…after careful examination of all aspects of the organization and talking with some
neighborhood leaders we have concluded that residents in the community do not feel
comfortable coming to the clinic. It seems the staff are lacking the ability to develop a trusting
relationship with the residents primarily because they do not understand the cultural values
and norms. The neighborhood residents, which you know are predominantly Haitian, often feel
their beliefs, values, and health practices are notunderstood.
