Globalization has implications for leaders that reach beyond sensitivity. For example, globalization may require leaders to interact with other leaders from various countries to set procedural guidelines on matters such as establishing safety standards for distributing medical supplies or facilitating health communication. Therefore, within local and/or global leadership organizations, health care administration leaders must be aware of multicultural issues and challenges. As a result, multicultural awareness and competency, important elements of multicultural leadership, play a crucial role in determining appropriate actions, attitudes, and expectations. Furthermore, values and value systems that may differ across multicultural populations also contribute to leadership philosophies for informing how leaders interact, engage, and execute leadership strategies. For this Discussion, select two challenges associated with multicultural leadership. As a scholar-practitioner in the field of health care administration, think about strategies you may use to address these challenges. Consider how your health care administration leadership philosophy may contribute to these strategies for multicultural leadership challenges. Post a brief description of two challenges associated with multicultural leadership in health care administration. Then, provide strategies for addressing these challenges. Finally, explain how multicultural competencies might influence your personal health care administration leadership philosophy. Be specific and provide examples. Support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and the current literature.

You are a former certified education administrator who departed your former position to become the owner of small, in-home daycare consisting of you and a part-time assistant where you care for children from age three (3) to age ten (10). Over the course of time, your demographic population has increased due to significant business growth that has resulted in many families relocating to your area.

Each student will interview a work colleague, superior, friend or acquaintance, about ethics in the workplace.  Alternatively, the student may describe a situation that they experienced.  The interview subject will tell the student about an ethical issue the subject confronted on the job. The student should briefly (1 paragraph) describe the situation.  The student should also describe the alternative solutions the subject considered, as well as the action they actually took (including taking no action) and why.  Finally, the student should submit his or her own analysis of the situation and should argue for a particular outcome, using either Utilitarianism or Kantian Ethics.  There is a description of what is expected of the ethical analysis attached to this syllabus.  Each student will submit a written report (2 – 5 pages).  The subject may remain anonymous, as may the company the subject works for.  However, the student should describe the general industry (oil field services, a bar, a restaurant, a health care clinic etc.) and the subject’s relative position in the company (a first-level employee, a manager, middle-management, executive etc.).  Any information that is provided from a source other than the interviewee needs to be properly referenced.  If a paper needs citations that have not been provided, the paper will lose 5 points from the grade and will have to be corrected and re-submitted to the instructor. Paper Guidelines. Guidelines for what is expected in a Kantian or Utilitarian Analysis are attached to this syllabus.  A Utilitarian Analysis without a spreadsheet (or a Word table, does not have to be Excel) or a Kantian Analysis without consideration of Universalizability and Reversibility will lose points.
