Facilitation and negotiation are skills you will use on a regular basis as a leader in health care. Last week you worked with your group to research best practices and apply them to a merger of two workforce cultures. Consider what you gained from the collaborative nature of the assignment.

Reflect on the discussions you and your group had while working on the Hospital Merger and Cultural Considerations assignment this week. Write on the following:

• Examine the overall strategy and implementation your group devised to address the different aspects of the company merger. What were the major factors and considerations that led your group to make the strategic decisions for the merger?
• Discuss the health sector best practices you drew from your research to help determine the decision-making and negotiation approaches defined in your group presentation.
• Describe any facilitation and negotiation strategies employed in your group collaboration to come to a consensus on project decisions that will also be useful in your professional life.
