Tobacco Endgame in India

The epidemic of tobacco use persists as a leading risk factor for noncommunicable diseases and impoverishment worldwide. Globally, more nations are undertaking measures for moving beyond “tobacco control” to a “tobacco-free world” under the unified theme of “tobacco endgame.” This concept of endgame includes an array of measures addressing both demand side and supply-side strategies for phasing out all commercial tobacco products within a specified time period. Globally, there have been many successes from countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, Canada, France, and California. The Indian subcontinent has also been stepping up to progress the endgame concept and has been displaying exemplary leadership in the tobacco control. It has several national and subnational achievements to its credit. However, the tobacco endgame requires collaboration and capacity building of several sectors and stakeholders to align their activities with the tobacco endgame goals and vision of the Government of India. Besides, acceptance of endgame as a political objective is perhaps the first requirement for tobacco endgame in addition to program and community-level strategies. The need of the hour calls for a robust unified approach that engages all the stakeholders and involves increased investment in tobacco control by the country's governments and region.

EVALUATING AND EMBODYING EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP

Teamwork is essential for patient safety as highly functioning teams make fewer errors. In high acuity academic medical centers, care delivery is complex and ever-changing, creating a high-risk environment for safety concerns. These intricate settings demand a collaborative approach to care delivery, where structured methods of teamwork and communication are engrained in day-to-day practice. With teamwork being a critical component of patient safety and communication failures likened to preventable medical errors, hospitals are looking to bolster leadership training and improve team dynamics. TeamSTEPPS is a proven method shown to enhance teamwork, communication, leadership, and patient satisfaction. TeamSTEPPS provides an evidence-based framework to optimize patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among healthcare professionals. Current literature on teamwork and communication demonstrates that nurse practitioners are uniquely positioned to improve team performance through the use of the TeamSTEPPS framework.

What’s in a face? Facial appearance associated with emergence but not success in entrepreneurship

Facial appearance has been associated with leader selection in domains where effective leadership is considered crucial, such as politics, business and the military. Few studies, however, have so far explored associations between facial appearance and entrepreneurship, despite the growing expectation that societies project on entrepreneurs for providing exemplary leadership in activities leading to the creation of disruptive start-ups. By using computer vision tools and a large-scale sample of entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs from Crunchbase, we investigate whether three geometrically based facial characteristics - facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR), cheekbone prominence, and facial symmetry - as well as advanced statistical models of whole facial appearance, are associated with a) the likelihood of an individual to emerge as an entrepreneur and b) the performance of the company founded by that individual. We find that cheekbone prominence, facial symmetry and two whole facial appearance statistical models are associated with the likelihood of an individual to emerge as an entrepreneur. In contrast to entrepreneurship emergence, none of the examined facial characteristics are associated with performance. Overall, our results suggest that facial appearance is associated with the emergence of leaders in the entrepreneurial endeavor, however, it is not informative about their subsequent performance.

Exemplary Leadership Style and Other Leadership Styles Associated with Exemplary Practices

This literature review aims to analyze three research designs, namely quantitative, mixed-method, and qualitative using exemplary leadership diction. The method used is the VoS Viewer bibliometric method to search and, in the end, the authors determine the articles reviewed. The results show that 1) quantitative research designs are confirmatory factor analysis centered on Kousez and Posner's exemplary leadership, 2) mixed methods design studies focus on the Kennedy Leadership Qualities. Kennedy’s five leadership qualify cultural differences: a) making variety a preference, b) getting to knowing personalities and their variations, c) enabling valuable connection, d) liability as an essential advantage, e) mutualism as the ultimate arbiter, and 3) meanwhile, in the qualitative research design, exemplary diction is more heroic, which relies on one role model with all the sacrifices, dedication, risk, and skills to adapt the application of various leadership styles associated with exemplary diction. It is clear that to apply exemplary diction requires sharp intuition of leadership, the intelligence to mix several styles, and the courage to take risks.

Ordinary Exemplars: Cultivating “the Everyday” in the Birthplace of Fascism

AbstractThis paper examines the ways in which “ordinariness” can come to be exemplified as a virtue. It does so by comparing the status of ordinariness in historical and present-day Predappio, the town in which Mussolini was born and is buried. It describes the ways in which Predappio was mobilized by the Fascist regime as an exemplar of an ordinary Italian town, rendered extraordinary by its wholesale reconstruction as a jewel in the crown of Fascist urban planning. In similar fashion, Mussolini’s ordinary rural upbringing was mobilized in the service of propagandizing his extraordinary and exemplary leadership. In contemporary Predappio, by contrast, ordinariness is what locals reach for to contest understandings of their home as irrevocably associated with the extraordinary Fascist heritage they have inherited. One of the ways in which they do so is to celebrate a local exemplar of this ordinariness, Giuseppe Ferlini, the town’s first postwar mayor. In contrast to Mussolini, Ferlini’s ordinariness is not a backdrop to future greatness, but exactly the quality for which he is celebrated. I assert that these cases demonstrate the need for vigilance in analytic usage of the category of “the ordinary,” which sometimes tacitly assumes the existence of “the ordinary” as a scale in itself, independent of human action. I argue instead that “the ordinary” may be the object of ethical labor, rather than its site, and that exemplification may be a form of such labor, in both our accounts and the lives of those we study.

A Model of Practices of Exemplary Clinical Education Leaders

Introduction: Despite frequent turnover and stress in both Director of Clinical Education (DCE) and Site Coordinator of Clinical Education (SCCE) positions, there are those who demonstrate longevity and success in these roles. Review of the Literature: A recent regional investigation found that successful DCEs and SCCEs share characteristics common to exemplary leaders. The purpose of this qualitative study was to confirm if characteristics of DCEs and SCCEs who demonstrate longevity and success are consistent with the 5 Practices of Exemplary Leaders, an established leadership framework. Subjects: Directors and Site Coordinators of Clinical Education, recognized by peers as leaders with at least 10 years of experience in their position, were recruited through purposive sampling from regional clinical education consortia. Methods: A grounded theory approach was employed to explore qualities, skills and characteristics of DCEs and SCCEs with demonstrated success and longevity in their roles. Cognitive mapping and one-on-one interviews were conducted to explore participants’ perspectives. An inductive approach informed coding and thematic development. The DCE and SCCE data were combined for final thematic analysis. Results: Twelve participants completed the study. The findings describe leaders with a firmly established professional identity as a physical therapist and an action-oriented mindset, skilled in creating meaningful relationships, and a capacity to thrive with support. They demonstrate influence and impact the profession on multiple levels. Discussion/Conclusion: Results of this study validate that DCEs and SCCEs who demonstrate longevity and success in their roles have common leadership characteristics. A model is presented that describes who these leaders are, what they do, what allows them to reach their potential, and what they can achieve. This model can help identify individuals with the skills and traits to excel in these vital roles.
