Reflective Journal - Week 7
I learned a lot about disciplinary action and firing this week. These are not easy things to do and should not be taken lightly. Warnings and notice should be given to employees in regards to unacceptable behavior the potential of being let go. It is not morally okay to simply fire someone on a wimb, they should have forewarning and an opportunity to correct errors in action. With that said, sometimes firing is the best situation for the business and for the employee as well. Sometimes being fired and the lessons learned there in are needed by some to fully understand this misconduct and to begin bettering themselves for the future. This is why I believe a big part of the firing process should involved explanation, teaching, and guidance. When I attain a leadership position, I personally plan on do this hard job myself. I want to be the one to look my employee in the eye and explain to them how be removed from one opportunity will hopefully open them up to many more. I want to be able to provide that guidance and let them know that I am available if any additional assistance or guidance is needed.
The nursing hierarchy is a great and effective structure. It was nice to review the differing responsibilities within the healthcare workplace. Although sometimes it may be frustrating to have someone else overlooking your actions on the job, it is truly a benefit. It is comforting knowing you are not alone in times of need or when you simply do not know something. Having more experienced leadership available to refer to is so helpful in these situations. It was also very interesting examining the differences between men and women in leadership roles this week. Their truly are traits that women excel in and others that men are more fit for. This seems to be a wide spread opinion. Many leadership positions may be better served with a women appointment. Still today, men dominate leadership positions in politics and the work place. We discussed this week who is a better leader between genders. Though in our discussion we were to come to a conclusion as to one gender over the other, I do not believe that is what I actually learned this week. I believe this week helped me personally to identify misconceptions in women in the work place and to see a larger picture as to how each gender excels in different ways but also in working together. It is great to know that I too possess some of these traits and that my skills may be added to a workplace/leadership position to better that environment along with those around me.
