Learning the strengths and weaknesses of your staff can be the secret to unlocking the potential of your department. Each employee will have different skills, experiences, and education. As a manager, you will be tasked with identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your staff. You will also have to unlock your staff’s potential.

Following the requirements for discussion posts found in the FEM, describe some ways you can go about identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the members of your team. Provide at least two strategies you could use and describe what these strategies would reveal about your team members.

Include one academic reference in your post. Use current APA style and formatting appropriate to the type of reference you provide.

LEADERSHIP TRAITS

The leadership style you adopt with your team will set the pace for how your department functions in the organization.

For your initial post to this discussion, identify traits of a strong leader and compare these to the traits of less effective leaders. Which of these traits do you recognize in your own leadership style? Which of your traits would you like to develop further and why?

In addition to following the guidelines in the Faculty Expectations message (FEM), include one academic reference in your post. Use current APA style and formatting appropriate to the type of reference you provide.

SYSTEMS LEVELS IN HEALTH CARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH

In your initial post, discuss how different systems levels in health care and public health in your own locality influence each other and how they impact health determinants.
