Health Unit Coordination
According to McConnell (2019), “The single factor that defines or characterizes a true leader is the acceptance by the followers….Acceptance by one’s followers cannot be mandated; it must be earned” (p. 157).
Imagine you are a new leader on a health unit. What will your leadership style be? What behaviors and actions do you believe will most earn acceptance? What behaviors and actions should be avoided? How would you know if you were successful in your new role and if you had achieved acceptance by your staff?

Top of Form
Reflect on what you have learned in the last four units of this course and complete this three-part journal:
Part I: Some production/assembly line jobs are dull and routine. This can lead to labor turnover. What could you as a production manager do with layout design to make these jobs more attractive?
Part II: Imagine that you work for a company in a small town in the Midwest where it is the dominant employer. You just found out that your company is considering moving its production facilities to a small town in the South where costs are lower. Many other businesses in the Midwest, such as restaurants, banks, service stations, and grocery stores, will be negatively affected. Do you think the company has a social responsibility to take this into account with its relocation decision? Explain your reasoning.
Part III: Companies are adopting lean practices, including inventory management, to improve their operations. Do you think these principles would help manage your household? Which do you think would be the most helpful?
