;It is likely that one or more of the products you currently use was brought about as a result of innovation. But have you ever considered how that innovation came about, who led the effort, and how they did so?
It is likely that one or more of the products you currently use was brought about as a result of innovation. But have you ever considered how that innovation came about, who led the effort, and how they did so? Perhaps you have even been part of a team that did something unique and innovative, or you had a leader that encouraged others to bring forward fresh ideas and welcomed input or suggestions for how to change things within your organization. When you think of innovative leadership, what comes to mind? Do you picture yourself as an innovative leader? If you were to grow as an innovative leader, consider what opportunities that might create for your organization, your career, and your personal and professional development.
In this Discussion, you will examine what it means to be an innovative leader, including an example of an innovative leader and what principles you could apply to become a more innovative leader.
BY DAY 3
Post a synthesis of innovative leadership traits that you could incorporate into your own leadership. Specifically:
Provide at least one example of an innovative leader and explain what traits make (or made) that leader innovative.
Explain what about that individual’s leadership inspires you to take a more innovative approach to your own leadership.
Refer to the Week 5 Discussion Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this grading rubric to assess your work.
Read some of your colleagues’ postings.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Consider your takeaways from this week’s Learning Resources and in what ways they influenced your thinking about innovation and leadership. Also think about how you might apply insights gained from the Resources to your own leadership skills development.
Identify an example of an innovative leader with whom you are familiar.
Note: If you describe someone you know personally, do not reveal his or her identity or the identity of any organizations. Use fictitious names if needed. However, this does not apply if you are using a well-known individual with whom you have no personal connection.

You are the healthcare manager in a university medical center. After an inspection, JCAHO, your accreditor, notes that patient satisfaction surveys give you a low rating. Although your hospital has a great track record for disease detection, treatment, and monitoring, patients routinely rate their experience at and satisfaction with the hospital as low. In follow-up interviews with patients, JCAHO discovers that patients felt they and their families were not well-informed about upcoming procedures and options. They had a general feeling of uncertainty about their care and treatment. One former patient stated, "The doctor spent more time talking with the medical residents and student nurses than with me!" Which ethical principles would you apply to this scenario?

describe beliefs about a social issue that we believe to be true but is actually untrue, misknown, or understood incompletely
Journal Exercise
For many of us, one of the most interesting and fun aspects of studying sociology is how relevant the discipline is to our everyday lives. This is even true of the methods we use to study sociology. Hardly a day goes by without reading or hearing about research that can help explain our lives.
For example, we are learning that life expectancy in the U.S. is on the decline, which may seem counter-intuitive. After all, we are the richest nation on earth with excellent medical care improved by constantly improving technological discoveries. Misunderstanding life expectancy is generally on the decline may lead to misconceptions on general limits of medicine and science. But, when we look a little deeper at studies of life expectancy, we learn that for the wealthiest Americans, life expectancy is on the rise, while for those with the lowest socio-economic status (SES), it is on the decline. Since there are more people of lower SES than the highest, the overall rate is pushed downward.
This is one example of how we can make better sense of commonly-held information, if we just look a little deeper to get a sense of SOCIAL forces that influence these kinds of outcomes.
After completing the reading for Chapter 2, describe beliefs about a social issue that we believe to be true but is actually untrue, misknown, or understood incompletely. (HINTS: Consider homelessness, unemployment, poverty, immigration, etc.).
THIS IS A BIT OF AN ABSTRACT ASSIGNMENT. Critically consider the assignment but don't overthink it. The goal is to get you to think about how and what sociological research methods might be used to explore the subject you choose.
Include 1) a description of the information, 2) how you think that information was created, 3) your reaction to that information/partial or total misconception, and 4) what kind of sociological research method might be used to improve and deepen our understanding of this information. (Pay special attention to item 4).
