In this episode, we're going to a good old-fashioned diner to learn all about delegation! This episode includes information from Chapter 14, Leading and Managing in Nursing 8th Edition, Patricia S. Yoder-Wise; Susan Sportsman.
ETSU student assignment (optional but recommended):
For your take-home task, imagine you’re running your own diner (or nursing assignment). Think about a typical rush hour (or crazy-busy day), and write down:
One task you’d delegate to each team member.
How you’d communicate it clearly.
How you’d check in to make sure it’s done right.
Spend five minutes on this—it’s a fun way to practice delegation without the pressure of pancakes burning in the background.
Submit your answers to the week one pre-class dropbox. This assignment is optional but recommended as preparation for in-class activities.
