  • Global Leadership: Week 3 How to Improve

    Discussion Overview

    dizain_Fotolia_92193651_XS.jpg

    This week we discuss curiosity in its many different forms to improve this important cultural agility competency. We have covered different types of curiosity, examined why they may benefit your leadership capabilities, and discussed tactics to improve your curiosity skills (Ch 3 in the textbook). We also discussed the changing role of the office (Fayard, Weeks, & Khan, 2021) as well as some hot-off-the-press findings on how interruptions and unexpected situations can improve employee creativity (Harrell, 2023). Each reading and related video material provided insights into specific strategies, tactics, and actions to become a more curious leader in a global setting.

    Questions & Instructions

    1. Can you think of a situation where your curiosity (or the curiosity of another person) improved your decision-making or the performance of your team?
    2. Reflecting on the readings and videos, which specific actions, tactics, or strategies do you find effective in cultivating curiosity as a leadership competency?

    Examples:

    Example 1.

    1. Can you think of a situation where your curiosity (or the curiosity of another person) improved your decision-making or the performance of your team?

    During a university marketing class, my group worked on a campaign for a new product. Our initial idea followed a safe and familiar approach, similar to existing campaigns we had seen before. One group member, however, kept asking simple but disruptive What if? questions, such as What if we targeted a different demographic than the one suggested? and What if the products strongest appeal wasnt its main feature, but its environmental impact?.

    Those questions pushed us to step outside our assumptions. We ended up researching nontraditional data sources and talking to students outside our major to better understand how sustainability influenced purchasing decisions. This shift led us to reposition the product around its environmental value rather than its technical features. That curiosity changed the direction of our project, made the campaign more original, and ultimately improved our teams decision-making and overall performance, which was reflected in a stronger final presentation and a higher grade.

    2. Reflecting on the readings and videos, which specific actions, tactics, or strategies do you find effective in cultivating curiosity as a leadership competency?

    Ask More and Better Questions: As emphasized in the lecture, maybe moving from closed questions to open-ended, exploratory onessuch as How might we? or What are we assuming here? – will encourage deeper inquiry and challenges existing mental models.

    Reframe Interruptions as Opportunities: Drawing from Harrells research, leaders can view unexpected interruptions not as disruptions, but as potential sources of creative insight. By pausing to explore the context of the interruption, they may uncover information or perspectives that would otherwise be overlooked.

    Practice Deliberate Curiosity Daily: Inspired by Einsteins quote in the textbook, one simple tactic is to dedicate a small portion of each day to actively question or explore a mystery within your work or team dynamics. This habit fosters continuous learning and inquiry.

    Seek Diverse Perspectives Intentionally: In global leadership, proactively engaging team members from different backgrounds or functions expands the range of ideas and challenges groupthink. Deliberate inclusion of diverse viewpoints strengthens decision-making and encourages innovation.

    Examples 2.

    Question 1: Can you think of a situation where your curiosity (or the curiosity of another person) improved your decision-making or the performance of your team?
    Answer:
    In my role as an audit and compliance manager, I once led an Access Review where repeated control gaps were being flagged in the IT Dept. At first, the pattern appeared to be straightforward, and my approach was to tighten up the controls and escalate the findings. Instead of approaching it directly, I chose to approach the situation with curiosity and asked the local Systems Department of the IT Team to walk me through how the controls actually operated, rather than how they were getting documented.
    After having these conversations with the systems team lead, I learnt that the department operated in a high-interruption environment with ad hoc requests from multiple stakeholders, which made the entire situation of adhering to standard procedures very difficult. I also saw that team members at the junior level were hesitant to push back and ask clarifying questions when certain processes were unclear. With curiosity, I gained a deeper understanding of cultural and operational factors and how the compliance process worked, rather than directly taking actions with assumptions.
    This curiosity led me to be more effective in my decision-making ability. Rather than imposing strict controls that are likely to fail again, I redesigned the process that fits better with the systems team environment and clarified escalation paths and provided guidance that would help employees push back on those requests when needed. As a result of this, the compliance improved and the audit findings and gaps decreased and the relationship between audit functions and systems team became more collaborative. As mentioned by the author Caliguri in Chapter 3, that curiosity helps leaders expand their understanding of cultural differences and also in turn help them to make informed decisions in global and diversified organizations.

    Question 2: Reflecting on the readings and videos, which specific actions, tactics, or strategies are effective in cultivating curiosity as a leadership competency?
    Answer:
    Based on the readings and textbook, curiosity usually emerge as an intentional leadership practice that helps leaders to expand their understanding on cultural differences. As mentioned by the author Caliguri in chapter 3, if you want to expand your understanding of cultural differences, you need to slow down your interpretation and inquire about the situation; mainly by asking open ended questions, not being biased on judgements, and seeking alternative explanations. This will help leaders recognize how cultures shapes the behavior and expectations.
    Also mentioned in the article by Fayard, Weeks, and Khan (2021) that leaders can often cultivate curiosity by valuing informal interactions in physical or virtual unorganized spaces. Informal conversations have exchanges that often reveal how people think, work or how they interpret the situations differently. Leaders who are curious can gain great valuable insights from these conversations than having formal meetings.
    In the article by Harrell (2023), the author highlights that during interactions, an interruption or an unexpected situation can enhance creativity amongst leaders. It is more of a form of creativity rather than inefficiency. He suggests that disruptions should be treated as opportunities for leaders to openness and adaptability. By following these norms, the leaders will gain deeper understanding on how different employees experience the work environment in culturally diverse or global teams.

    Example 3:

    One situation where my curiosity improved the performance of my team was when I began training in my current role. To set the scene, the department I was hired into had not hired anyone new if a very long time. They were not prepared with proper training materials, nor was I assigned to sit with anyone in particular to learn my role. Only a couple of weeks in, I found myself doing very minimal tasks on my own because the workload was overwhelming, requiring the attention of everyone in the department. The minimal tasks I was working got boring very quickly and I became curious to know more about the documents I was reviewing and how it related to what I’d eventually be doing on a daily basis. I would open up document packets and just go through them, looking over the way they looked, what information was on them, relating them back to the information in the system, and taking notes in the process. I’d ask my leadership questions on things I did not understand, and would even reach out to people in other areas of the department that I knew had a hand in the process to get more clarity on the bigger picture of our work. I eventually was directed to some internal websites and material that provided more information to research and use as a guide. Throughout the following weeks, I continued my process until I was finally doing the work I was hired to do. By this point, I had a general understanding of what my purpose in the department was, how to execute tasks successfully, and reliable contacts I could communicate with when I got stuck. This led to me being able to work independently very quickly, and I was able to assist my peers in clearing the overwhelming workload in just a couple months. My curiosity and action helped our team become more efficient and catch up on the workload much quicker than leadership originally anticipated.

    2. In chapter three of Build Your Cultural Agility, Caligiuri discusses ways to build your confidence, which I believe is a critical part of cultivating curiosity as a leadership competency. I find this approach to be effective because everything we do and seek comes from an internal place that we must understand first before our actions can follow. While external behaviors can be adjusted a bit more quickly, internal mindsets take much more time and practice to change because the way we think is typically a result of conditioning and life experiences. To build confidence, Caligiuri emphasizes limiting negative self-talk and adopting a growth mindset. The saying “the only thing holding me back is me” applies here as self-doubt can prevent one from asking questions, seeking new perspectives, or embracing unfamiliar situations. These two strategies are the most important, yet most difficult, to master when fostering curiosity but, when practiced intentionally, it can strengthen your overall cultural agility.

    Module 10 Discussion: Building Positive Employee Relations

    When a survey measures an organizations employee engagement, it measures retention elements and engagement elements. Whats the difference?

    Retention elements include pay, benefits, or an entire compensation package. These are items that keep an employee working, but they dont create engagement. Employees will stay with a company that compensates them well. But this doesnt mean that they go above or beyond to achieve their goals or the goals of the organization.

    Engagement elements, on the other hand, are those elements that push an employee from a working drone to an active, engaged member of a work team who furthers the goals of the organization. Rewards and recognition is an example of an engagement element. When an employee is recognized for her contributions in front of her peers, for instance, her engagement level goes up. Other engagement elements include employee accountability/ownership, leadership, culture, company vision, and corporate responsibility.

    Discussion Prompt

    Select one engagement element from the following list:

    • rewards/recognition
    • employee accountability/ownership
    • leadership
    • culture
    • company vision
    • corporate responsibility

    Find a company thats exercising your chosen engagement element well. Do a quick write up of that company and how theyre keeping their employees engaged with that element. Once youve done your write up, review the write-ups of one of your classmates and make valuable comments. Remember to cite the sources that you use.

    Requirements: 250 words minimum for primary response. 150 words minimum for response post (secondary response to one other student).

  • Operations Management Strategic

    In todays increasingly complex and interconnected global economy, supply chains face unprecedented challengesfrom natural disasters and global pandemics to cyberattacks and geopolitical conflicts. These disruptions can stop production, delay deliveries, increase costs, and ultimately damage customer trust and business reputation.

    Understanding supply chain risk and building resilience are no longer optionalthey are essential for any organization that wants to survive and thrive. This assignment helps you apply these concepts in a practical, industry-relevant way. By choosing a real or hypothetical company, you will step into the role of a decisionmaker, analyzing vulnerabilities and recommending solutions using current technologies and proven frameworks.

    Whether you are heading into a career in operations, logistics, business management, or leadership, the ability to identify risk, propose mitigation strategies, and build resilient supply chains is a highly sought-after skill in todays workforce.

    Supply chain disruptions can result from supplier failures, geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, cyberattacks, and other unpredictable events. Developing a resilient supply chain is critical to maintaining operations, competitiveness, and customer trust. This assignment challenges you to examine the principles of supply chain risk and resilience and apply them to a hypothetical product or service-based company of your choosing.

    Part 1: Paper

    Select a hypothetical or real company within a product or service industry. Based on the concepts discussed in class and provided in the assignment summary, write a 5 page paper that addresses the following:

    • Define supply chain risk and resilience. Provide an explanation of their importance in modern operations.
    • Discuss key mitigation strategies (e.g., diversification, inventory buffers, scenario planning, and strategic partnerships). How do these strategies affect your chosen industry or company?
    • Describe the essential elements: visibility, flexibility, redundancy, agility, collaboration, and a risk-aware culture. Apply these to your chosen organization.
    • How do technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cloud computing, and robotic process automation (RPA) support supply chain resilience? Which of these do you believe is relevant to your chosen company?
    • Provide an example of artificial intelligence (AI) improving forecasting, automation, or supply chain decision making (e.g., Amazon) and how the organization uses it. How could your organization benefit from AI adoption?
    • Provide at least 45 specific strategic recommendations for senior leadership, focusing on reducing risk and building resilience through process, people, and technology.

    Part 2: Executive-Level PowerPoint Presentation

    Using an AI generative tool (e.g., ChatGPT, Grok, or MS365 CoPilot), create a 6-slide PowerPoint presentation that summarizes your key findings and recommendations. This should be presented as if you are briefing the executive team of your company.

    Your presentation should include the following:

    • A title slide and agenda (not counted toward the 6 slides)
    • A slide summarizing supply chain risk and resilience
    • Key mitigation strategies

    )))))Smart Clinic Operations Platform(((((

    A digital platform designed to support small private clinics in Saudi Arabia by improving their daily operational management. The platform focuses on streamlining clinic operations such as appointment scheduling, administrative coordination, basic reporting, and workflow efficiency through a centralized digital system.

    The platform is not intended to replace clinical or medical systems. Instead, it serves as an operations-focused solution that reduces administrative burden, improves efficiency, and supports better day-to-day management for clinics that rely on manual or fragmented processes.

    Context and Opportunity

    Saudi Arabia is currently undergoing a significant transformation in the healthcare sector driven by Saudi Vision 2030, healthcare privatization initiatives, and increased private sector participation. The expansion of outpatient services and small private clinics across major cities and secondary regions has created a growing demand for efficient and affordable operational management solutions.

    Many small clinics face challenges related to administrative inefficiency, limited digital capabilities, and rising operational complexity. This creates a strong opportunity for a locally adapted digital platform that supports clinic operations while aligning with the national healthcare transformation agenda.

    The Smart Clinic Operations Platform aims to leverage this transformation by enabling clinics to operate more efficiently, enhance service quality, and meet the evolving standards of the Saudi healthcare environment.

    Key Notes

    This is NOT a medical, diagnostic, or hospital system.

    The focus is on clinic operations and administrative efficiency.

    Keep the structure, academic tone, and flow strong (MBA level).

    Emphasize Saudi Arabia, healthcare transformation, and Vision 2030.

    Prompt

    In this scenario, an unexpected incident has occurred within your local community, impacting the safety of employees returning to the office for ANY reason for the foreseeable future. Your task is to record an AUDIO message 1-3 minutes in length that will be used to communicate this emergency. This audio message will be sent to all employees immediately. The audio message should convey the (a)situation, (b)the transition to remote work after the message, and (c)include a brief example from your research of another company experiencing unexpected closure.

    First, Choose the incident – be creative with your incident description. Choose one of the following disasters as the basis for your message:

    • A technological incident examples include power outages, dam failures, chemical incidents, nuclear events, industrial pollution, and transportation accidents.
    • A man-made incident examples include civil disorder, terrorism, crime, arson, and chemical spills.
    • A natural disaster incident examples include hurricanes, weather incidents, avalanches, droughts, landslides, flooding, and earthquakes.

    Second, Write the Script

    Write the script message you will convey in a voicemail distributed to all employees addressing the office closure without inducing panic.

    Elaborate on the transition to remote work. No need to detail remote work instructions, your task is to inform of the transition.

    ** Make the assumption all employees are familiar with remote procedures.

    **This portion of your recording must be 1-3 minutes.

    Third, Research an Example

    Research a real-world example of a company that faced an unexpected closure similar to YOUR incident (if your incident is technological, this example must be technological, if your incident is man-made, your real-world example must be man-made; if your incident is natural, your real-world example must also be a natural disaster), share how the real-world company communicated to their employees and stakeholders of the office closure. Share your findings after/at the end of your audio message (after the scenario voicemail).

    Fourth, Record your Message – In a 1-3 minute audio message in YOUR VOICE, the following elements must be present:

    • Convey the immediate office closure without causing panic.
    • Elaborate the immediate transition process for remote work to employees.
      • You must convey they are NOT to come to the building.
    • AFTER the message
      • Include an example from the research you conducted of a company unexpectedly closing and how employees were communicated to keep employees from returning to work. This researched example isNOT due to fiscal or store closure; the example must be disaster-related and NOT COVID-related. Finally, how did this real-world example of a company that faced unexpected closure communicate to employees and stakeholders?
    • Your script AND the Reference for your Example MUST be submitted with the audio recording.

  • BIOL-1001A-504 Walden Week3 Cellular Reproduction Mitosis, M…

    All living organisms are composed of cells.

    Earlier in the course, you explored cell structure and function. This week, you learn about how cells replace themselves and pass on their genetic traits.

    The cells in your body undergo a type of cell division known as mitosis to replace damaged cells and enable new growth. In order to reproduce, human beings and most animals use the type of cell division called meiosis.

    For this weeks Assignment, you complete a virtual lab in which you explore mitosis and meiosis. You then learn about the impact a mutation can have on either of these processes. Finally, you examine tissue samples in a virtual biopsy lab and write a lab report based on your analysis.

    Review Chapter 6, Reproduction at the Cellular Level including:

    How mitosis and meiosis compare

    What a mutation is

    What cancer is and what causes it

    The causes and effects of various mutations

    Complete the Cellular Reproduction: Mitosis, Meiosis, and Mutation Virtual Lab.

    Complete the knowledge checks at the end of each section of the virtual lab.
