ScenarioImagine that your boss Lynnette follows up with you in an email shortly after reading your views on leadership and collaboration:Hi, Thank you for sending me your thoughts on the clinic’s diversity issue last week. The next step is to assemble a team of professionals who can assist you with this project and prepare an introduction for your first meeting with them. I’d like you to prepare a presentation that will serve as a brief but substantive introduction for the first meeting with a group of 4-5 members of the committee tasked with addressing the diversity issue. I can assist you with the recruitment after I review more information about the proposed team. So that I can understand your approach, the presentation should last 5-7 minutes and include 6-8 slides with detailed speaker’s notes. Because there isn’t much time or space, keep things at a high level.. Do the following:Briefly outline the project goals and highlight 2–3 of the initial priorities to be addressed by the group. Also, explain why they are important.
Explain the composition of the team and why you chose them. Note that you will not know the exact individuals yet, but assume we will recruit the people with the desired qualities and characteristics you outline in the presentation. Consider the following: Include a group of professionals you believe can help define the problem and ultimately make recommendations on how to address it.
Make sure each member is either trained in, sensitive to, or has experience with the concept of workplace diversity.
Give some thought to having some members from outside the organization.
Provide member profiles: their diversity, qualifications, experience, internal versus external, and so forth.
Explain your role and describe how the committee will work together and achieve effective interprofessional collaboration. Describe how the group will communicate. How and when they will meet.
Describe how ideas will be shared and decisions made.
Describe roles, group function, and structure.
Describe the basic characteristics of a diverse workplace.
Provide a convincing argument regarding the benefits of a diverse workforce using support from current research.
