Week Three ( Late Submission)

1. What did you actually learned from the unit. To be honest, what I actually learned is to never get behind on my schoolwork again and turn things in on time!! I struggled this last week and I am not usually one to not turn in my assignments on time, I don't like it. 2. Discuss your feelings/experiences from the team activities? Did it change your opinion on the subject? If so, how? If not, why?

Leadership is about values – A leader has to have values, those they are leading follow these values and learn from their leaders. 3. Leadership is about service – Not only are you serving patients, you are serving as a go to for your team of employees. 4.
