Choose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not complete both
assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission. Note that while there are
two options for the Critical Thinking Assignment, there is only one rubric.
Option 1: Vision Statement for General Hospital
For this assignment, your team has been tasked with creating a Vision Statement for General Hospital,
an Acute Care hospital. Four groups have been created. Assign yourself to the group that corresponds to
the first letter of your last name. Each group will have their own discussion board for this assignment.
The first student to post in each group assumes the role of team leader and chooses which Option
(Option #1 or Option #2) will be used for the assignment. The deadline for discussion and deciding on
the Vision Statement is Thursday (11:59 PM MT).
Groups are divided as follows:
• Group 1: Last name begins with A–G
• Group 2: Last name begins with H–N
• Group 3: Last name begins with O–S
• Group 4: Last name begins with T–Z
Tips for creating a vision statement: Developing a Team Vision Statement That Inspires Commitment and
Performance.
Following the Thursday deadline, each student will submit their own summary of the team process in
Turnitin.
Include the Vision Statement and discussion on the following:
• Does the mission statement reflect understanding of the organization’s goals?
• Do you believe that management and employees can live up to the vision statement?
• What role did you play in the team process?
• How were decisions made?
• Did team members listen to one another? If no, why not?
• Was input research-based or personal-opinion based?
• Did social loafing or groupthink impact the outcome?
• How was conflict managed?
• How satisfied was each member with the final decision?
• What was learned about functioning in groups?
• How did the team perform and what might you have done differently?
Your paper should be at least 2-3 pages in length (excluding cover page and references) and formatted
according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. Be sure to discuss and reference
concepts taken from the assigned textbook reading and relevant research. You must include a minimum
of three credible, academic or professional references beyond the text or other course materials.
