You are a new grad assigned to work on the surgical unit of your local hospital. During your first week, however, you hear many complaints about the unit’s nurse manager. The staff is complaining that she makes decision about things that affect them without asking for their input. They say their opinion about things just does not matter. You hear a lot of frustration in the break room and that the staff dislikes the manager and does not respect her. They avoid her and often defy her directives. No one has felt comfortable enough to talk to her about how he or she feels. 1. What is the leadership style of the nurse manager, and what are the behavior styles of the staff?

An organization has a staffing strategy in which it hires 10% more employees than it needs in any job category to ensure its hiring needs are met.  Leaders in the organization reason that some of the new hires will renege on the accepted offer and that the organization can renege on some of its offers, if needed, in order to end up with the right number of new hires.  Evaluate this strategy from an ethical perspective.  Explain.
