Write a 700- to 1,050-word response to the questions provided at the end of each scenario. Using the scenarios, identify a problem-solve model that could be used in the situation and leadership qualities that may be involved. Describe a process that the leader may need to use to promote change within this organization after a situation like this has occurred. Determine what is the most appropriate conflict-handling style(s).
Scenario One
A radiologist on the staff of a large community hospital was stopped after a staff meeting by a colleague in internal medicine. On Monday of the previous week, the internist referred an elderly man with chronic, productive cough for chest X-ray, with a clinical diagnosis of bronchitis. Thursday morning the internist received the radiologist’s written X-ray report with a diagnosis of “probable bronchogenic carcinoma.” The internist expressed his dismay that the radiologist had not called him much earlier with a verbal report. Visibly upset, the internist raised his voice, but did not use abusive language.
How should the radiologist handle this conflict with the internist?
Scenario Four
The medical school in an academic health center recently implemented a problem-based curriculum, dramatically reducing the number of lectures given and substituting small-group learning that focuses on actual patient cases. Both clinical and basic science faculty are feelingstretched in their new roles. In the past, dental students took the basic course in microanatomy with medical students. The core lectures are still given but at different times that do not match with the dental-curriculum schedule. The anatomists insist that they don’t have time to teach another course specifically for dental students. The dean has informed the chair of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology that some educational revenues will be redirected to the dental school if the faculty do not meet this need.
How should the dean handle this conflict with the chair of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology?
