Background For the coaching with compassion case study I chose to have a coaching session with a peer and friend within my organization. I have worked with the subject of the coaching session for nearly eight years and have been one of his mentors for seven and a half of those years. He does exemplify what I would consider to be a superior performer. He always acts with integrity, is very dependable, is knowledgeable, provides an exceptionally high level of customer service and accuracy, takes time to teach others, and is constantly looking to innovate. Provide book example of leadership here.
Coaching Session The coaching session took place over lunch at a local restaurant. The atmosphere was much more casual in this setting since there was no fear of interruption as there would have been in the workplace. The subject’s mood was very positive at the start of the coaching session. As the coach I was also in a positive mood at the start of the session. The first question that I asked the subject was “if your life were perfect and your dreams come true, what would your life and work be like in 10-15 years?” He pondered the question for a brief moment and then answered the personal aspect of the question first. He said that ideally in 10-15 years that he would be married with at least one child, but more likely two. He would like to have more time to get back into a running schedule. He was a runner in high school and college is disappointed that he has not had the time or

My own unique leadership experiences have shaped me over the years. Peer leadership and the Chick-fil-a Leadership Academy have offered me a wide variety of unique leadership experiences. I have learned so much from organizing charitable events, to teaching social skills to autistic and other special needs middle-schoolers and the ABCs and 123s to kindergartners. As a role as Varsity lacrosse captain allows me to mentor and share my experiences with other players. Last year, my advice helped a player decide not to quit the team.

Two hours until shift change and Sally Smith, RN was looking forward to going home and putting her aching legs up on the ottoman and drinking an ice cold Coke. She was thinking to herself that the patients were so needy all the time, she felt she gave them all she had and still all she had was not enough. All Sally heard was “get me this” and “get me that”…
I believe anyone involved in the medical field needs the information about compassion fatigue due to its importance. It affects everyone involved in the health care field including all staff, patients, and even the organization itself. I believe not only the clinical staff but also the administrative staff should have yearly mandatory in-services on the subject of compassion fatigue. I also believe it is important for the board members to have all of the information on compassion fatigue, because organizational symptoms include high absenteeism, lack of vision for future of the company, negativism towards management, lack of flexibility among staff members, inability of staff to respect deadlines, inability of staff to complete assignments,
Occasionally, a major disaster strikes people with whom the viewer in an industrialised country can personally identify without difficulty. Jonathan Benthall (1993) suggests that Western media can at times be preoccupied by the fate of a ‘single, identified person such as a boy who has fallen down a well in Italy, or examples such as hostages, hijack victims, or small children whose lives could be saved by expensive advanced surgery’ [p.196]. Although the literature on what motivates charitable giving is relatively sparse, a series of recent studies in decision psychology have produced some interesting findings that support Benthall’s statement. Small and Lowenstein (2007) conducted a field experiment that demonstrated when asked to contribute
“A kind gesture can reach a wound only compassion can heal.” -Steve Maraboli. Our world is a place where everyone is left to fend for themselves in order to survive. Compassion is often forgotten when everyone focuses only on themselves until we witness the suffering of another human being.
In the field of medicine, there is large debate over something known as “compassion fatigue.” Some say it exists while others claim it doesn’t. I believe the reason people debate the idea of compassion fatigue being a reality is due to a misunderstanding in how compassion fatigue manifests.
To help explain the ethics of compassion I will be using reference from the Dalia Lama’s book Ethics for the New Millennium, more specifically chapter ten; The Need for Discernment, and chapter 5 The Supreme Emotion. I will also refer to Touching Peace, and the five mindfulness trainings. The Dalia Lama had so many strong points it was hard to find any criticisms in his philosophies. One thing that concerned me was how he recognizes people who kill and torture for pleasure. The other point he made that came across as weaker to me or somewhat questionable is that we are to question whether our motive is genuinely compassionate when considered in relation to the totality of all beings. As for the strong points keeping
Coach Mike Krzyzewski was a phenomenal coach and leader. He had the most career wins in NCAA Division I history. His is a prime example of exceptional leadership. Throughout the book Leading with the Heart I have seen prime examples of the following leadership theories: transformational leadership, trait theory, behavioral theory, and power and influence theory.
I have never submitted a summer projects application and would love to sit down and "pick your brain." I am thinking about submit a summer project on building a curriculum for GCC occupational programs on compassion and fatigue. The goal is to prepare students for the demands of highly stressful careers offered at GCC (e.g., Behavioral Health Sciences, Nursing, Emergency Medical Technician, Law Enforcement Operations, Developmental Disabilities Specialist, and Fire Science). The compassion and fatigue curriculum would include teaching students how to building resiliency against secondary & post-traumatic stress and learn the necessary skills to prevent burnout.
Examples of the author’s leadership style are once everyone is on the same level; the leader organizes people into groups focusing on particular tasks. The leader oversees everyone and every committee. He or she has to make sure everyone is doing what should be done and takes advantage of everyone’s skills in order to get the job done. When a new problem arises he or she reacts quickly and efficiently to solve it. For example if a discussion arises among two of the committees dealing with a particular task, the leader determines what the problem is and solves it by having someone else accomplishing the task.
This paper will be explaining the different types of leadership skill that I notice in the movie Stand and Deliver. The movie is a true story about a teacher who fought against all odd to help poor Latin students to pass the advance placement test in calculus. He motivates the students with everything that he could think of. The students received such a high test score that the testing center though they had cheated.
