Slide 19 - Escalation Protocol

“Not all conflicts should be handled alone. Staff must know when to escalate to senior staff or security. Documentation should be objective, factual, and timely.”

Slide 20 - Module 4 Activity & Assessment

“Participants will practice conflict scripts and high-pressure scenarios. Evaluation focuses on control, clarity, respect, and safety compliance.”

“Culture is built through repeated behavior: trust, respect, and openness to concerns. Teams perform better when members feel safe to speak up early.”

Slide 24 - Module 5 Activity & Assessment

“In this module, teams complete a simulation requiring coordination across roles. Assessment includes peer feedback and group effectiveness scoring.”

Slide 25 - Module 6 Overview

“Healthcare work is emotionally demanding. This module helps staff identify stress signs early and develop sustainable coping methods.”

Slide 38 - Leadership Competencies

“Core competencies include delegation, follow-through, coaching, conflict mediation, and decision-making under pressure. We emphasize practical leadership, not theory alone.”

Slide 39 - Module 9 Activity & Assessment
