Instructions: There is no paper for this course. You will instead keep a leadership journal consisting of 27 entries based mostly on exercises and assessments. The goal of this journal is to complete your personal assessment, reflection, and improved self-awareness. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, and the higher grade you will receive. The first submission, due in Week 2, is to allow you to get initial and early feedback. The final journal is due in Week 7. Some assessments are in the book and some are not.

The journal project is worth 240 total points. You will journal and submit your entry at the end of Weeks 2 and 7. The Week 2 journal is to allow you to receive instructor feedback so you can make any changes to your initial journal and increase your chances of earning an excellent grade on the final journal submission due in Week 7.

Please carefully read the Leadership Class Journal Requirements and follow the instructions for formatting your journal and the requirements for your journal entries. You will find the details for your journal entries due in Week 2 and the journal entries due in Week 7.

You are the intake clinician at a large acute inpatient psychiatric facility, which includes a sizable detoxification unit. It is an unusually busy day and the lobby is full of patients seeking treatment. Half an hour before lunch, you pick up another clipboard from the “pending” rack and quickly scan the intake information filled in by the prospective patient and receptionist. Mark is a 45-year-old male who has been waiting since 8:15 AM. He is requesting alcohol detox. You notice that Mark has been waiting for over three hours and you are frustrated because you will have to begin yet another interview with an apology for the long wait. You notice that the blood pressure assessed by the receptionist is somewhat elevated you make a mental note to inform the nurse: BP = 149/97, pulse 104, respiration rate 18. You invite Mark into one of the free interview rooms and you notice that he appears much older than his 45 years. He’s dressed casually and is a bit disheveled; his skin looks old/tanned and flushed; in his right hand, he holds an emesis bag. He apologizes and he states that he has been having dry heaves since yesterday evening but he tells you that he is able to keep down some fluids.

You observe that Mark does not look too good and since he’s been waiting in your lobby for three hours, you think it’s a good idea to assess another set of vitals. The receptionist obliges and reports the new vital signs as BP = 154/103, pulse 114, respiration rate 20, oxygen saturation 98% at room air. You become a little concerned by the increase in blood pressure and pulse and you note that while previously Mark’s shirt was dry,he now has sweat stains on his back and chest; visible sweat beads are also noticeable on his forehead and neck. You noticed that Mark speaks softly now when the door to the interview room is closed to cut down on the noise from the hallway. He asks you if you can turn off the bright ceiling lights and to keep on only the lamp on your desk. You oblige. Mark tells you that he started drinking at the age of 16 simply because it was popular and the fun thing to do on the weekends in high school. His social drinking increased somewhat in his 20s but it became problematic in his early 30s.

Mark works as a plumber, and along with his older brother,he owned his own plumbing business. Somewhat embarrassed,he tells you that for the past 15 years
