Question: Review the case study, Reinventing the Orange County Medical Association for the 21st Century. Use Gulick's seven major functions of executive management (planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting and budgeting) as the model to evaluate Michele's work as the executive director of the Orange County Medical Association. For each function, cite facts or examples in the case study to support your claim and provide justifications by citing the course text or scholarly sources. After providing your evaluation of Michele's work, share the "lessons learned" from this case study and what you would have done differently. Your initial post should be at least 300 words. Support your response with a minimum of two scholarly sources.
Guided Response: Review your classmates' posts and respond to at least two posts substantively in a minimum of 100 words by Day 7. Substantive posting is demonstrated through the following:
- Share a related experience.
- Comment on others' experiences.
- Ask others questions about their ideas/experiences.
- Take an idea being discussed, and offer a different perspective on it.
- Describe an interesting idea from the week's discussion and explain what insights you gained from it.
- Ask the group a question about the week's topics if there is something you would like more information on.
- Disagree (respectfully, of course) with a point that someone else made.
