Program Objective Fulfillment Paper
Over the last two years this graduate has studied and taken courses to earn herself a bachelor’s degree in Science and Health Administration/Health Information Systems. The courses that have been studied range from Organizational Behavior and Introduction to Health and Disease to Economics: The Financing of Health Care and Database Concepts to the final course of the program Health Administration Capstone. Throughout this course of learning the graduate has learned how to use the Microsoft programs of PowerPoint, Excel, and Project. She has learned to work with a learning team and trust strangers to do their best work to earn the best grade. The graduate has also learned time management to do all the required readings and assignments and still be a good mother and wife. The main objective of most of the classes was to teach the graduate the components of management and leadership in a health care setting. In this paper the subject is to examine the components of management and leadership skills the graduate has learned throughout the last two years.
Management
Management in any setting is the area that keeps the job environment stable. Management abides by a set of parameters of organization, planning, controlling, and directing. Not only that, but the person must also possess leadership skills. The graduate has learned to be a leader in the learning teams when she is usually a follower. The main management skill she has learned while attending class is time management. One has to complete the required work in a successful and well-organized manner just as a manager at a health care facility would. Without time management, everything would fall behind schedule and the facility would suffer to the point where it could go out of business. Time management also has to be used at home so that life does not suffer too. A fine
