This post is a response to this link: https://create.twu.ca/stellapetersldrs501/2018/10/25/response-to-pierres-post-4-1/ Hello Stella, Thank you for your response to my post. I am glad you have found my saga to be of value. I was unfamiliar with the term “metacognition” and I had to look it up. Chick (2013) says metacognition is “thinking about thinking” or thinking about […]
This post is postmortem documentation to my past employment at a contracted service provider to a care organization, previously discussed here: https://create.twu.ca/pierreflorendo/2018/10/16/strategic-leadership-teams-hc1/ and here: https://create.twu.ca/pierreflorendo/2018/10/17/response-to-samsons-response-to-strategic-leadership-teams-hc1-post-leader/. For the sake of clarity, I will focus on the contracted service provider, as I had the most knowledge and power within that organization. My previous posts outlined the relationship […]
Marcelo’s post can be found here: https://create.twu.ca/marcelowarkentin/2018/10/16/mssl-et1-el-equipo-directivo/ Marcelo, thank you for your post. Are you sure this post isn’t about the Philippines? You wrote about Paraguayans being fatalistic, believing in a predetermined destiny (Warkentin, 2018). Filipinos also have a reputation of fatalism – our expression is “Bahala na”, or whatever happens is Bathala’s will (Menguito […]
This post is in response to Samson’s post here: https://create.twu.ca/chiefanalyzerofthings/2018/10/16/response-to-strategic-leadership-teams-hc1-post-leader/ Thank you, Samson, for your response to my post. I apologize if my post sounded utterly negative. It was not; I did find much of my experience beneficial. I will provide more background on the care organization. This leadership group oversaw four facilities with shared […]
Years ago, I was part of a high-producing health care team. We had consistently achieved the highest levels of accreditation. We had a low risk ranking from our local health authority. Families gave us excellent feedback year over year. Turnover was very low, and we had an exceptional annual sick time of 0.1%. However, despite […]
Hello Wafa, Thank you for your response to Samson’s post. I recall one of my former workplaces hiring a Lean consultant to address “muda”, or waste (Lean Enterprise Institute, n.d.). Many of the ideas presented in Lean seem beneficial, such as reducing the amount of time used and distance walked to gather medical supplies. However, […]
Original post at https://create.twu.ca/sally81/2018/10/09/no-other-way/ Thank you, Sally, for your post. As a leader in health care, I have a nominal role in educating clients and their families, but nothing to the extent of those in education. I have a question regarding TSL in education, specifically with parts of the curriculum that some find in disharmony with […]
Original post here: https://create.twu.ca/chiefanalyzerofthings/2018/10/09/servant-and-strategic-leadership-tools-hc2/ Thank you, Health Angels, for your post on TSL and health care. Your post is thought-provoking and interesting. As a fellow leader in health care, you encourage me to think about my contributions to the culture of health care, whether those contributions are beneficial or detrimental. I want to add some information […]
