BOOK: Defining Moments: When Managers Must Choose Between Right and Right.
(1997) Badaracco, JL, Harvard Business Press
(ISBN:
0875848036)
————————————————————————-
Assignment #1
“Defining Moments” Part 1 – Questions

Answer the following questions (250 word minimum)

Right vs. right choices force you to decide what is the right thing to do, not the wrong thing to do (Badaracco, p. 13). If you make the right choice, you walk away from the right choice too. In this way you define yourself, and potentially the values of the organization. An important point in right vs. right choices is that you really can’t have it both ways! However, you can minimize the risk once you’ve made a choice. Before you finish the second half of the book, what choices would you have made as Steve Lewis, Peter Adario, and Edouard Sakiz? Why?

What four virtues, that Aristotle believed were critical for governing human behavior, are missing from the “sleep test ethics” discussed in chapter four? What does Aristotle’s “sleep test ethics” look like, and how does it differ from the common test? Do you think Aristotle’s view can be useful in your own leadership life? How?

Assignment: Assessing and Treating Clients with With Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a unique disorder that causes shifts in mood and energy, which results in depression and mania for clients. Proper diagnosis of this disorder is often a challenge for two reasons: 1) clients often present as depressive or manic, but may have both; and 2) many symptoms of bipolar disorder are similar to other disorders. Misdiagnosis is common, making it essential for you to have a deep understanding of the disorder’s pathophysiology. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with bipolar disorder.

Learning Objectives
Students will:
Assess client factors and history to develop personalized plans of bipolar therapy for clients
Analyze factors that influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in clients requiring bipolar therapy
Evaluate efficacy of treatment plans
Analyze ethical and legal implications related to prescribing bipolar therapy to clients across the lifespan
