Respond to the discussion board postPart A L. T1. Describe an example when you gave candid feedback to someone.When I worked in retail, while training new associates we would “role play” customer and sales associate. During this training session, the new associate would have to show the trainer how they would perform the necessary steps to achieve the sale with a guest. After the new sales associate has completed this, the trainer then provides feedback and what can be done better. The associate I was training at the time was very new to retail and, if I remember correctly, this was their first job. The associate was very quiet, meek; they didn’t quite POP. We provided feedback on how to be more vocal and gave tips on how to be more relaxed. 2. Did it go as planned? Were they angry? Were they appreciative?The associate was very receptive to the constructive criticism, because it was in fact just that – constructive. Since the associate was receptive to the feedback, they made the necessary changes to be more successful in getting the sale.3. What did you learn from that experience? I learned that as long as you are constructive and positive when providing feedback that people will be receptive to it. I’ve experienced personally some trainers that do not have patience for mistakes and will be rude, which does not benefit anyone in the situation and is not indicative of a great leader/mentor.4. What are some common issues with giving and receiving feedback? A lot of issues I see is tone. The tone you use when giving feedback is so important to me. If you talk to people with respect, you will get respect in return. I firmly believe this. Another issue is what I previously touched on, which is not having the patience for new people. There are some trainers that have absolutely zero business in being a trainer, due to their lack of self-awareness and people skills.5. Describe how you may prepare to receive and give feedback? I know to not take things personally, unless it’s blantantly obvious. I know that there is room for improvement in every aspect of myself and my life, so I do not have a negative relationship with feedback. When giving feedback, I make sure to highlight the things that were done right. Positive reenforcement is important in keep self confidence high. Then I touch on the apects that can be changed/improved upon, but in a positive, non-demeaning manner. Part BSelect three roles that you believe would be most valuable in sharing their leadership competency feedback.1. Why did you select these roles? I chose direct manager’s manager, direct manager, and internal peers. I chose my direct manager’s manager because I wanted to get feedback from someone in a leadership role. I chose my direct manager for feedback from a managerial perspective. I chose internal peers so that I could gather feedback from associates equivalent to myself to get a better idea of how to improve. All of these are essential, to me, because it touches all the bases that I deem important in improving one’s self. 2. What is the value of each of these roles? Each of these roles have significant value. The leadership feedback will help to gain a realistic future outlook on how to improve myself and the mentality needed to be a sufficient leader. The internal peers can provide feedback that I may not be aware of myself and can have a better understanding of my weaknesses/strengths in leadership. The value in requesting feedback from my direct manager is beneficial because this is a superior that works directly with me daily and would know how to better advise me.3. What do the roles represent? All of the above roles represent perspectives and different outlets of constructive criticism. These roles are all essential in maintaining a successful organization. Without any of these roles, the business would be nonexistent.

The knowledge gained from this course will enable you to develop a Marketing Strategy Guidebook through the course project.In the textbook Managing in the Next Society, professor, writer, and management guru Peter Drucker stated, “Health care is the most difficult, chaotic, and complex industry to manage today” and the hospital is “altogether the most complex human organization ever devised.” As demonstrated by the course content, understanding marketing principles contributes to mastering this complexity.Each workshop will present information and scenarios addressing the broad scope of healthcare marketing. Workshop One introduces the four generic P’s of marketing: product, price, place, and promotion. In Workshops Two and Three, we relate those principles to six disparate constituencies: physicians, patients, payers, public health, policy/advocacy groups, and political players.Throughout, the exploration of healthcare marketing emphasizes contributions to creative problem solving, strategic development, and meeting the demands of a changing healthcare system. Healthcare marketing encompasses not only product or service development and advertising, but also contributions to corporate citizenship and population health. Workshop assignments address the role of the hospital as a contributor to the overall community and to achieving the goals of multiple policy initiatives that impact the delivery of healthcare.This presentation should be a tool to help healthcare leaders understand effective and ethical healthcare marketing, guide the integration of healthcare marketing into strategic and daily operations, ensure biblically consistent policies and procedures that respect human dignity and professional integrity, and contribute to social responsibility and stewardship.This project spans the length of this course. Work you submit in Workshops One through Four may require modification before you submit the final version in Workshop Five. When completed, this product can serve as a reference for integrating marketing principles into executive leadership of healthcare organizations.Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:Explain the basic principles of marketing and how they relate to healthcare.Evaluate direct-to-consumer marketing of healthcare products and services from ethical and major moral principle perspectives.Define the relevance of community benefit and the reasons and requirements for demonstrating its provision as supported by healthcare marketing.ResourcesMaterial used in previous workshop assignmentsBackground InformationHealthcare marketing is rapidly evolving because of changing trends, the emergence of social marketing, the impact of “Obamacare,” and a focus on quality, outcomes, and prevention. The relevance of such factors as brand identity, market share, strategic objectives, customer experience, and the integration of communications across multiple platforms and channels continues to grow. This course project will create a simplified reference for managing the multiple aspects of marketing in a dynamic and volatile healthcare environment.InstructionsReview the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.Review the Workshop One course material and your notes.Create at least four to six slides providing overarching guidance for establishing a healthcare marketing and communication plan, addressing:Relevant concepts of marketingMarket DefinitionProducts, Services, and ExperiencesNeeds, Wants, and DemandsValue and SatisfactionTransactions and RelationshipsStakeholdersAdvertising and PromotionEthical considerations: individual, organizational, and professionalApplicable biblical perspectivesYour course presentation should be professional and follow APA formatting.

Hello, 2 Part Assignment: You have been hired to completely revamp the Total Rewards plan for the Company and senior management has given you a great deal of leeway to develop a recommended plan. They are expecting you to develop and recommend a detailed Total Rewards strategy and plan. This will be around 8-14 pages Memo. Your presentations should be a formal, business-style presentation of your Total Rewards Plan. This presentation should be no longer than 15 slides in length. Your Total Rewards plan should be tailored to address the various, distinct areas (executive management, administrative office, sales and warehouse/shipping) of the company as each area may require a different approach. Your plan should address the concerns raised by management (employee engagement, internal/external parity, drive performance consistent with company goals and objectives, connect employees with customers), ensure legal compliance and employee retention. Though there is no expectation that your plan with contain detail plans of benefits, etc. your plan should contain sufficient detail to thoroughly explain your thinking to senior management. You should include the justification for your recommendation in your written recommendation. *** For the Presentation, I will have to add a oral presentation not to exceed 15 minutes, so please keep that in mind when creating. Total Rewards Project MemoCongratulations on your appointment as VP of Total Rewards for Business Express. Business Express is an internet office supply company headquartered in Denver Colorado. They have no brick and mortar outlets and derive all of their sales through internet, telephone or sales rep generated orders. Business Express has customers throughout the continental US and Canada. While most customers are business purchasing supplies for their organization about 25% of Business Express sales come from individual consumers.Business express was founded in 2005 and has grown at double digit annual rates. When the company was founded the HR processes including compensation were not well thought out, defined or delivered. As a result, there is no clear rationale or structure to what employees get paid and whether their compensation package is competitive from both an internal and external basis. In addition, there is a question as to whether the pay practices conform to Federal and State Law. Senior management has concerned that the compensation strategy does not engage employees, does not align and drive performance consistent with company goals and objectives and does not focus employees on customer engagement.The briefs and final projects are not APA papers. They should be sited using APA format but but should look like a business report or brief that you might use in a workplace. Business memo can use colors, charts, and other techniques to engage the reader so be creative when creating the memo. I have also attached all memo completed for references. Here is some feedback from the instructor on past memos done so far. Memo 4 and 5 have not been graded yet. Memo 1: This brief was excellent. The relevant laws were covered and formatted in a way to determine the key areas of legislation that impact compensation. Memo 2: This brief was really well done. For the final, a bit more job detail is needed to more specifically identify the job responsibilities and requirements. Memo 3: This brief provided a really interesting approach to an overall compensation strategy. You might clarify which types of positions would fall into which strategy. As an example sales perhaps falls into commission and mayne warehouse will us the piece rate approach. You might also want to think about whether any consideration of market data is needed to develop a base salary or ensure other strategies are competitive with similar business in the relevant market.

Choose just ONE of the questions below and answer it in essay form. At the beginning of your essay, please include the question that you have chosen to answer for this. This essay should cover at least 3 single- spaced typewritten full pages with a 12 point, Times New Roman font. Essays that are just summaries of the course material will not do well. I want an organized, well-written, and clearly expressed essay led by your thesis position, made by your arguments, and supported by course content as evidence. (NO OTHER REFERENCES EXCEPT FOR COURSE CONTENT).ESSAY QUESTIONSRead the questions carefully to figure out exactly what I am asking you to answer.Considering all those who could be affected, is it an overall benefit or detriment for the rights of everyone in the country for a court to be able to use the “exclusionary rule” and the “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine” to exclude illegally obtained evidence? In Lochner v. New York, Justice Peckham disagreed with the viewpoint of the New York State Legislature that a law regulating sanitary conditions and working hours for a bakery legitimately related to the safety or health of a community. Do you think that our Constitutional rights and liberties are better protected if a Court can substitute its policy judgment in place of a competing one made by a Legislature or if a Court restricts itself to deciding whether a law is expressly consistent with the Constitution? (You can use the Lochner case as an example in your essay, but you may use other cases as well.)3) Imagine that a state legislature passes a law requiring everyone in that state to receive one of the COVID-19 vaccines. What kind of a) penalties for the people and b) limitations to the law would have to be included for you to consider it Constitutional?4) In Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court required that a state law claiming to regulate public health and safety must be necessary and reasonable for it to survive a valid citizen claim that the law affected their Constitutional rights. However, not every Court uses those two limitations. When a Court does not use them, does it allow the concept of State Police Power to extend the reach of the Tenth Amendment too far?5) Do you agree with the majority in Kelo v. City of New London that the “public use” requirement from the “Takings” clause of the 5th Amendment can be properly satisfied if the government had a legitimate “public purpose” in using eminent domain to take the private property from one private citizen and give it to a private company to own?6) Should Copyright be considered as a right with a similarly high level of importance and protection as the fundamental rights expressly recognized in our Amendments rather than as an incentivized privilege that the government only grants for a limited time?7) One purpose of Trademark law is to protect consumers from confusion as to which company a product or service comes from. Therefore, is it an overall benefit or detriment to consumers when a very well-known brand name for a company or its product/service loses its legal status as a valid Trademark due to a finding of “Genericide” by a court?8) There are five pairs of words below. The first word is a brand name, and the second word is a product type. The legal strength of each brand name fits into one of the five different categories of the “distinctiveness spectrum” of Trademark. For this question you need to do 2 things: A) Name the spectrum category that you think applies to each brand name, B) Explain why the category that you choose for each name is appropriate based on the legal description of the category and level of protection that category gets.a) “Blanket” hamburgersb) “Sodium Chloride” seasoningc) “Illuminating” lampsd) “Flryzx” watchese) “Atlas” mattresses
