1. If you are a female, is there a need to act differently when you manage these relationships in an all-male leadership group? Explain your reasoning.
2. If you are a male, is there a reason for a woman to act differently if she is managing a relationship with you? Explain your reasoning.
3. Does the fact that Dr. Gerberding expressed her own experience with discrimination make it more or less likely that she did not manage her relationship with the all-male management team well? Explain your reasoning.

Finally, what would be an effective communication plan at this point to address the discontent among the employees?

"Adopting and Implementing a Policy Governance Model" discusses the mergers of two hospitals with different philosophies of governance. Compare the two philosophies of governance. Explain why the CEO suggested starting with the organization's mission statement as a strategy for eliminating the divide between the two merged boards of directors. What do you believe was the CEO's rationale behind hiring a process consultant to guide communication within the board of directors and also sending them on a retreat to do so? Identify at least one method of communication implemented by the CEO which helped facilitate the accomplishment of organizational goals. Evaluate the effectiveness of this method.
