In Chapter 3 of the textbook, locate and read Leadership Case Problem B. In a two-page essay, address the prompts below.
· Contrast transformational and charismatic leadership.
· Based upon the scenario in Case Problem B, research and identify which leadership style you think would be the most effective for this scenario (other than transformational and charismatic). Apply creativity and innovation to the efficacy of the leadership style you choose for this scenario.
· Address the efficacy or shortcomings of Ashley’s efforts.
· Apply transformational leadership directly to Ashley’s scenario. Provide any recommendations to ensure transformational leadership is effective in the scenario.
· Explain how charismatic leadership (e.g., striving to create interdependency) could support Ashley’s success.
Please provide a meaningful introduction stating the purpose of the paper and key points to be addressed. Also, ensure you include a synthesizing conclusion.

Explain the major contributions of this theoretical model to the field of addiction treatment.
Assignment: Scholar Practitioner Project Assignment: The Disease Theoretical Model of Addiction
There are a number of theoretical models that explain addiction from a wide range of perspectives. It may be ideal to consider addiction from a broader perspective as a condition influenced by the interaction of all spheres of life: biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual.
While no one model will be all-inclusive, the medical model is more widely accepted than others in the field. The medical model, also known as the disease theoretical model, is more comprehensive than other models and is currently the most applied model in the treatment of addiction. It is the model that you are most likely to encounter as a helping professional.
For this Assignment, review this week’s Resources. Focus on the strengths and limitations of the disease theoretical model of addiction as it applies to Marge from this week’s media piece. Consider the limitations in its applicability in treatments of addiction. This Assignment will inform your Scholar Practitioner Project (SPP) for this course.
Assignment:
In a 3-page APA-formatted paper, address the following:
· Explain the key points of the disease theoretical model of addiction.
· Explain two strengths and two limitations of this theoretical model.
· Explain the major contributions of this theoretical model to the field of addiction treatment.
· Explain whether the limitations that you identified may affect the applicability of the model in the treatment of addiction and why. Use Marge from the media piece as an example.

As you reflect on your chosen case, identify two issues that you would want to address as the social worker.
Assignment: Accessing Information About Evidence-Based Practices
As a student, you have learned to look to the professional and scholarly literature to better understand concepts, support your analyses, and apply reputable, research-based evidence to a problem. The same is true of practicing social workers. Although they may already have a theoretical orientation and a set of interventions with which they are familiar, current research allows them to remain abreast of new developments and evidence-based practices and interventions that might work for a particular client, family, or group.
In this Assignment, you assume the role of a social worker assessing a client. In order to best treat that client, you must survey the research literature and analyze potential evidence-based interventions for treatment.
To Prepare
· Access the Social Work Case Studies media and navigate to Tiffani, Jake, and Paula. Choose one on which to focus your Assignment.
· As you reflect on your chosen case, identify two issues that you would want to address as the social worker.
· Research in the Walden Library for evidence-based practices that could be used to treat each issue. Ensure that you are searching for peer-reviewed scholarly research articles de
2- to 3-page paper in which you approach your chosen case as a social worker:
· Describe two issues in your chosen case that would be important for intervention.
· Identify one evidence-based intervention for each issue (from peer-reviewed journals). How do you know these interventions are “evidence-based”? Refer to the main characteristics of evidence-based practice (EBP) in your explanation.
· Summarize the main information about the interventions from each journal article—research design, sample, sample size, and findings/outcomes in a 1-paragraph annotation.
· Evaluate the interventions and their suitability to the case.

describe factors that might have influenced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified.
Post a description of the patient case from your experiences, observations, and/or clinical practice from the last 5 years. Then, describe factors that might have influenced pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of the patient you identified. Finally, explain details of the personalized plan of care that you would develop based on influencing factors and patient history in your case. Be specific and provide examples.
From the limited evidence presented, how effectively do you think Wes is carrying out the role of a strategic leader?
LEADERSHIP CASE PROBLEM A
The Saratoga Supply Company Needs a Strategy
The Saratoga Supply Company is a distributor of a wide variety of industrial supplies to small and medium-size companies, as well as schools, hospitals, and government agencies. The range of supplies number in the thousands including paper clips, copying paper, office furniture, desktop computers, pencil sharpeners, paper towels, and cleaning solvents. Saratoga Supply uses state-of-the-art information technology for purchasing, selling, and delivering products.
Although the company has been in business for sixty years, CEO Wes is worried about the future of Saratoga Supply. In consultation with CFO, Darleen, and head of sales, Gary, Wes notices a disturbing and steady decline in sales for almost all the products the company sup-plies. Wes agrees with Darleen that the downward trend in sales is accelerating (sales are decelerating) at an unhealthy rate. He also agrees with Gary’s analysis that too many customers are now ordering directly from manufacturers through online sales. In the past, most manufacturers did not want to bother with small sales to individual companies. But with e-commerce, sales can be implemented more readily without going through intermediaries such as Saratoga Supply Company.
Questions
1. How should Wes and his team go about developing a survival strategy for Saratoga Supply? 2. Does Saratoga Supply really need a survival strategy? Or should the company just begin to downsize to fit the demand for its products and services? 3. From the limited evidence presented, how effectively do you think Wes is carrying out the role of a strategic leader?
share your thoughts on three ways that society—not physicians or medical staff—can help to reduce the development of drug-resistant microbial strains
Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they were first observed by Pasteur and Koch and later named by Selman Waksman in 1942. Unfortunately, antibiotic-resistant microbial strains are becoming more prevalent and therefore making once easily treated infections more difficult to treat.
For your initial discussion post, share your thoughts on three ways that society—not physicians or medical staff—can help to reduce the development of drug-resistant microbial strains
