1. choose the best answer.

dr. blaine, her assistant, her office manager, and her nurses have succeeded in building a very successful practice. their working relationship is most likely evidence of whose leadership qualities?
every member of the team
the doctor
the doctor and her assistant
the office manager

Explanation:

For question 6:

• Option 1 is a reasonable compromise. Since they share duties on alternate days, agreeing to work every other Sunday ensures the shift is covered and they are getting along.
• Option 2 (one quits) is extreme and doesn't solve the problem of covering the shift on Sundays in a positive way for the current hospital.
• Option 3 (forcing to work) is unethical and not a good way to maintain a working relationship.
• Option 4 (both quit) is also extreme and leaves the hospital without supervisors.

For question 9:

• In a successful practice, leadership qualities are often demonstrated by every member of the team. Each person contributes to the success - the doctor leads in medical expertise, the assistant helps in tasks, the office manager in administrative and organizational aspects, and the nurses in patient care. It's a collaborative effort where everyone's leadership (in their respective roles) matters.

Answer:

1. Each of them can agree to work every other Sunday.
2. every member of the team
