I have obtained great learning from the study week in Cambridge which I can apply in responding to ethical issues and business environment in global contexts. From My Cambridge startups: the road to Raspberry Pi presented by Professor Jack Lang, I think some leaders needs only to be outstandingly capable. Steve Jobs is a good example. He was well known for his bad temper. However no one could deny that he had great ideas that others didn’t have – the things he invented were always ahead of the time
through making it across. Truly the activity could not have been done with just one person. Having the input and guidance of others helped make the process go smoother and more efficiently. Hence, not only do I think this activity was to show us leadership but it was also displaying teams and group cohesion. This can be applied to a group therapy session. The textbook talks a lot about groups and how groups are working towards the same goal and sometimes having group cohesion and close relationships
In the academic context, ‘reflection’ is defined as; “a generic term for those intellectual and affective activities in which individuals engage to explore their experiences in order to lead to new understandings and appreciations. It may take place in isolation or in association with others. It can be done well or badly, successfully or unsuccessfully.” (Boud, Keogh and Walker, 1985, p 19) Needless to say, engaging in reflection at an academic level is more than merely passively remembering and
Confucius once said, “By three methods, we may learn wisdom: First by reflection, which is noblest; Second by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience which is the bitterest”.

Research and Reflection - Management Perspective When I think of the types of leadership and managerial qualities I would like to follow and emulate, I think of J. Summers, Vice President of Operations at Quest Medical in Allen, Texas. Summers has worked at the company for more than ten years and has been instrumental in turning around several departments within the organization. S/He has recently been assigned to manage the operations department, and it is well on its way to achieving record-breaking
rationalization of looking at evidence base practice as an important tool at the time of approaching any particular situation seems now as the best rational way, when I have to face a conflict or dilemma not only along the nursing career but also in my personal life situations that require a more objective approach. The importance of questioning and reasoning appear as the normal way to be, without ignoring
practitioners in order to be true and good models for others, and to be so, mentoring is an important means for them (Goodwyn, 1997). For them, the interaction with prospective teachers, novices, or among themselves is an excellent stimulus for reflection: helps them to look afresh at the familiar features of the classroom through discovering new possibilities in the process of mentoring (Goodwyn, 1997). To the mentor, other benefits of workplace mentoring include feedback, reciprocal learning, knowledge
behavioral problems with the use of play therapy sessions. In this paper, I will briefly review the program and the rating associated with the program. In addition, a description on the programs perception will be given and finalize with a person reflection on the program Program The program provides children and their parents/guardians/caregivers opportunities for the use of play as a form of therapy in attempt to enhance attachment, self-esteem, trust, and joyful engagement with
Leadership involves bringing people together and motivating them to accomplish specific set goals (Plonien, 2015). Leadership in nursing is a critical field that is needed in the nursing profession and patient care (Plonien, 2015). Exceptional leaders in the nursing profession are required to motivate the staff to provide patient-centered care and increase their productivity in providing patient care (Plonien, 2015).
