Assignment 2: Ethical and conflict challenges Mukul Sethi 632244 UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE Ethical dilemma Introduction Developing a prognostic system for my client, my team and me have discovered some major bugs that have prevented me to deliver on time. I thought about the situation balancing the pros and cons of the situation and came up with approach to be honest about the situation to my client. I have discussed my opinion about the situation with providing suitable reasons for the same in the following report. Leading by example Although my teammate has suggested me of a dishonest solution, I would never agree with him about the suggestion he made of lying to GP about the product being a demo. Having said that I would agree that yes their has been a significant delay in the project and would require some more days before the product can be ready. However I would never cheat on my client as being honest about something would yes definitely show me and my team’s inability to achieve on time and but would also prevent us from sending a message that my team could not even build a demo correctly and would show our courage to come forward and accept our mistake. That is if the GP tests the demo on a patient and the results of the system do not match his diagnoses it could really be a problem as a wrong diagnoses would not only make the GP aware of the fact that the build quality of system is poor but also the end product would not be of the top most quality. Which could further lead to damaging company’s image. The other aspect of accepting the dishonest suggestion would also be that it would send a wrong message across the whole team that I am not courageous enough to take the responsib... ... middle of paper ... ...ch (win-win for both Sarah and Tim & The team) Lastly I would be willing and accepting of the facts and replies (feedback) Sarah gives me regarding her ‘yes woman’ attitude, that is may be its not her attitude but managements pressure that even she is facing, also I have to understand the fact that I have been appointed to make it easy for Sarah to handle a bigger team. I would also thank Sarah for listening out to me and I am sure I would definitely device a solution for the same and that is Sarah might understand that yes the team might be under stress and a little praise and more communication with the team would send out a positive message across the team. Conclusion Post meeting Sarah I would convey the message to the team about the current situation and discussion with sarah and motivate my team to get over the conflict and work on the given projects.

    To make it even harder to focus, we could hear the music of another guard’s performance throughout warmup. I encouraged my team to stay focus on how we want to perform. As we prepared to perform, several girls began crying and hugging as if we were already done. I talked to each girl I passed and told them that it was time to focus and to show this crowd how good we are. That performance was the perfect ending to the season; it was everything we had worked for. However, we weren’t done yet; we still had to fold our floor, put away our flags, and get ready for the awards ceremony. On our way to put away our equipment, one of my girls started crying and apologizing for a mistake she had made, afraid that she compromised the show. I told her immediately that whatever score we made, we earned it as a team. I comforted her with my own struggles of perfectionism and feelings of inadequacy, but those feelings don’t necessarily reflect our

    The world of healthcare changes every day. Technology, as we know it evolves and changes the actual care that patients receive and even post care as well. It has been determined that most faults are caused by system failures. When a break in the system has occurred it must then be decided where the,” inefficiencies, ineffective care and preventable errors” to then influence changes within the broken system (Hughes, 2008). Improvements sometimes can begin with measurements and benchmarks which in turn will allow organizations to assess the trouble spots and broken areas within the system. Many times those broken areas within the system will be owned by the humans who operate within these systems. According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM)

    Scenario 2 – The first obvious fix would have been for everyone to agree to a few norms for the meeting. One being to use “I” statements instead of “you” statements. The teacher everyone was upset with might have responded a bit differently had she not felt attacked by the team. Another fix, although it was tried, was a mediator. Maybe if the mediator had been someone other than an administrator, for instance a counselor, the teacher would have been more open to listening to the team. Having an administrator present possibly made her feel as if her job was in jeopardy. Along with the use of I statements the mediator needed to ensure everyone had a chance to speak and actively listen. Active listening does not mean you agree with the

    If I had to make a suggestion to better manage the situation, I’d probably suggest the organization to practice and use collaborating as a management strategy. I’d propose that Kate and Tom get together with their other willing co-workers and come up with an appropriate solution to the organization’s problems. When they feel comfortable and satisfied with their possible solutions and proposal, they should then pitch it to the hierarchy of the organization: Jeff Donaldson, Rick Clark, etc. This would hopefully produce a mutually and completely satisfactory solution.

  • Medical Errors: Exploring the Healthcare System's Role in Errors

    2718 Words  | 6 Pages

    According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) which has been on the forefront in undertaking research studies, pertaining to the prevalence of medical errors; systemic flaws are largely to be blamed for the high number of medical errors (BMJ Publishing Group Ltd 2011). The Hastings centre also shares the same sentiments when they state that “Many errors can be traced to flaws in complex systems of healthcare delivery, not flaws in individual performance” (The Hastings centre 2011, 5). These revelations come amid increased blame on healthcare workers for their apparent neglect of safe healthcare practices. IOM gives an example of poor communication between healthcare providers as one of the main problems associated with systemic flaws which consequently lead to medical errors. Because of this reason, the institute claims that focusing less on individuals and more on systems is likely to reduce the prevalence of medical errors.

  • Reflection Of The Group 5 Project

    630 Words  | 2 Pages

    We encountered several challenges along the way. To begin with, only two of us corresponded to decide the topic of our project. The third finally joined us and started to take over immediately. Even though she hadn’t been part of the “conversation” about the topic, she went into our Google Document and rearranged and changed things (including our essential question) without asking. But we would find out that this was just the beginning of the “fun.” The other two of us are timid and didn’t know what to say or how to address our concerns. I think that was a big part of the problem. So even though it bugged us to no end, we let her do whatever she wanted because even if we tried to tell her, our ideas weren’t heard or were just plain shot down. Because of her desire for control, she often went into my parts of the project and changed things. That really frustrated me and made me not want to do anything because it would only be changed anyway. I realize that I should’ve said something, but I didn’t. I just wanted to get through the project creating as few waves as possible. I think ...

She told us that she would just calmly answer her co-worker or boss, and if push comes to shove, she would ask why the person is acting that way.
