Principles and practices of compassion in missions

Discuss two challenges and two benefits of building partnerships that involve the local church or other communities of faith

Christian faith-based organizations (FBOs) are an essential piece of helping outside resources and skills in collaborating with local churches. However, local churches have different views, compassion. And only look to (FBOs) to help members who have religious affiliations, and denomination which is some of the challenges (FBOs) meet when trying to support local churches. Moreover, it is important for local churches to build partnerships as it creates resources and networks to build Christ-center church community relationships (Ireland, 2017).

In addition, partnerships multiply a church’s influence as other organizations can expand assistance needed allowing more to be done collaborating together instead of one church trying to complete a task on its own. Challenges of local churches or other (FBOs) is that values and commitments tend to become conflicts and barriers to faith and health collaborations become complex due to distrust of health agencies, diversity within faith communities, and different goals, agendas, and ideas (Ireland, 2017).

Describe two criteria you think are necessary for healthy and effective partnerships that take into consideration the challenges you mentioned.

According to the 7 standards of excellence, empowering partnerships is a great way to establish well-built and ongoing relationships. In addition, both partners provide mutual trust and accountability, implement plans, and decisions that primarily focus on those who are in need (“7 standards of excellence,” 2020). Also, the use of honesty, proper risk management, and valued program delivery and support planning all help build healthy and effective partnerships. Furthermore, transparency is very important in a partnership as this allows clear direction, expectations, and honesty to be communicated to build a trusting, successful partnership.

Share an example of how you have applied these criteria in your life.

I collaborate with many business partners on the job and in order to keep good working relationships, I make sure that I work with integrity and transparency to ensure information is disseminated freely between teams. In addition, I make being transparent the main concern as it makes working with other partners easier and helps avoid hostile, and biased work environments. Moreover, we empower each other by setting goals and planning out projects that we all think will benefit the outcome and create a business process with direction. This allows all parties to have input in the plans and build strong working relationships with our partners.

Based on your experiences and the assigned reading, discuss the importance of servant leadership in building trust and sustainable partnerships.

Servant leadership is very beneficial as it builds nurturing environments where individuals can feel valued and respected (Spencer,2020). In addition, it can help establish well-built work relationships, and harness self-initiatives to keep employees motivated and engaged. Holistic leadership such as servant leadership methods that involve groups in ethical, emotional, rational, and spiritual components are inspired to succeed into what they are capable of becoming (Eva et al., 2019).

Moreover, servant leadership puts its focus on the individuals, groups, and organizations he/she works with to ensure that growth and development are met through serving the needs of others, promoting team problem solving, personalized development, and incentives by providing self-governance and resources. Ethics and integrity are highly important. With that being said, the ability to serve successfully and build trust and transparency is reliant on moral leadership, and servant leadership inspires others and works industriously to make society great (Tanno & Banner, 2018). Furthermore, servant leadership mirror the word of god and the application of theological truths of grace, and mercy.

cross-cultural partnership

Identify an example of someone who exhibited servant leadership skills in building a cross-cultural partnership and why these efforts were successful.

Harold MacDowell, CEO of TD industries is someone who exhibits servant leadership skills. He sets a culture that implements key elements in sustaining employees and the environment in which they work by valuing, respecting, and appreciating their efforts (Schwantes, 2017). Moreover, these efforts are important, and culture is taken very seriously with leaders at every level ensuring core values are carried out at all times by building and maintaining trusting relationships, passionately protecting the safety of all partners, leading with a servant’s heart, pursue excellence, and celebrate the power of individual differences (Schwantes, 2017). His efforts are successful as he put individuals ahead of profit and hone in on sustainable approaches that are mutually important for business and culture.

A true partnership involves risk shared by all parties.

A successful partnership requires risk sharing and this is why I agree with the following statement. Risk is a part of investing and once a partnership is put into an agreement and formed, all parties reap the benefits and losses of investments equally. Moreover, partnerships benefit and help each other resolve and manage risk successfully, implement efficient risk management techniques and commit to sharing all risk so that the end result of a project can be a successful outcome instead of one company bearing the full risk (Willemsen & D’Arc, 2019).

Write a 5-7 page recommendation to senior leadership about steps the organization needs to take to resolve a patient safety issue that occurred. Include an explanation of why it is important to address the issue and the role the patient safety officer will play in helping to resolve the issue.

Alarming numbers of unnecessary patient deaths occur in U.S. hospitals and around the world. “Quality and patient safety in health care have been on the forefront of the public’s mind since the publication of the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) seminal report, ‘To Err Is Human,’ in 1999” (Johnson, Haskell, & Barach, 2016, pg. xv). The literature supports revising systems and processes in an effort to narrow the difficult safety and quality gaps. Worldwide, issues of patient safety and patient-centered quality care drive health care reform. Current approaches are not adequate; patients remain at risk for needless harm.

Demonstrating a firm understanding of the various components of patient safety is fundamental to understanding health care quality, risk management, and patient safety overall.

For this first assessment, you will assume the role of a patient safety officer at your local hospital. You will analyze a patient safety issue that occurred and then prepare a five- to seven-page recommendation for senior leaders about why it is important to address the issue, along with your recommendations about how to address it. You will also need to detail the role you as the patient safety officer will play in helping the organization resolve the issue.
