Research-based succession and mentoring plan

HCA 817 Module 7 Mentoring and Succession Plan
Details:
Preparation for sustainability is critical in the health care industry. For an organization to be sustainable, leaders must think beyond their individual tenure in the organization and strategically develop succession plans to assure the sustainability of the organization, allowing the leader to move on and leave a legacy. To plan meaningfully, leaders must identify high-performers and challenge them to innovate, and they must develop under performers to acceptable levels of performance. Guidelines for mentoring may vary from person to person and organization to organization. Together, though, the deliberate mentoring of both over- and under-achieving performers assures that quality of care is continuously improving. In this assignment, you will propose a research-based succession and mentoring plan that creates a culture that allows the organization to function well with or without the current leader and allows all members to rise together passing along to the next generation gains in quality and safety and making the organization sustainable.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.

• This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.

• You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

Identify the role of an organizational leader in a heath care setting. This may be your current role or a desired role.

Create a research-based succession and mentoring plan (2,000-2,250 words) for the role you have identified. Include the following in your plan:

1. A brief overview of the role and setting for which the plan is being created. Be sure not to include information that would identify the organization.

2. A description of the succession plan for the cases in which the leader retires, resigns, or is forced to resign. How do the different cases alter the plan, if at all?

3. A description of the mentoring required for the succession plan described above to be effective. How are underperformers brought along and over-performers challenged?

4. A summary indicating how the plan will foster sustainability of the organization and its strides toward improved quality and safety.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
