- Bailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 3. Bailey and Burch state that “To prepare yourself to be a leader I your organization, you need to observe the current leaders in action.” Leadership is a repertoire of behaviors – not a set of attributes. Which leadership behaviors would be worth imitating or learning by observation? Which leadership behaviors might you observe that you would not want to repeat, and why? What types of things might you observe a leader do, for which you would need more information to determine whether or not it is something you would want to do? What sorts of leadership behaviors do you think might not be best learned by observation and imitation? How might you better learn them?arrow_forwardBailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 3. Networking can take place in a number of different ways – not just at designated networking events. How might you use LinkedIn for networking? How might you use Facebook for networking? What would be some concerns / areas for caution when using LinkedIn or Facebook for networking? Describe the value of being a “connector.” For colleagues within your discipline. For colleagues across disciplines. For your client who is in need of a service related to your discipline (but which you don’t provide). For your client who is in need of a service not related to your work (but you know someone). What are areas of caution for each of these? Why?arrow_forwardBailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 2. You are in an interdisciplinary team meeting. The team is discussing one of your clients, who is a 48 year old gentleman with profound intellectual disability who engages in severe self-injury. You have had a difficult time getting the staff in the organization to implement the man’s treatment program with reasonable integrity, and this is limiting the man’s progress. In this ID Team meeting, the Occupational Therapist reports that she just came back from a weekend seminar on Myofascial Release, and describes the procedure to the ID Team. The OT reports that since the gentleman’s emotional memories live in his joints, using Myofascial Release could release those emotional memories from his joints, and could result in reduction or elimination of his self-injury. You are dumbfounded. (To make matters even worse – the guy doesn’t even like to be touched – and the whole team is aware…arrow_forward
- Bailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 1. You are supervising a graduate student who is working with a small child. The weather is hot, and the graduate student is wearing jeans and a tank top (since the graduate student is working with the child outdoors, at a playground). When the graduate student bends over to help the child, and you are standing in front of the graduate student, much of the graduate student’s upper chest is exposed to you. Later, when you are standing behind the graduate student and the graduate student bends over to help the child, the graduate student’s “tramp stamp” is exposed. Is this something you should address with the graduate student? Why or why not? How would you address this with the graduate student (if you think you should)? Would the graduate student’s gender make a difference in this situation?arrow_forwardBailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 1. On page 10, Bailey and Burch discuss how to handle business meals. Imagine that you are interviewing for a job, and the potential employer invites you to lunch, and even tells you that s/he is paying for lunch. How might this affect your opinion or bias for or against this particular potential job or employer? How might your accepting or declining the potential employer’s offer affect the potential employer’s decision to hire / not hire you? Do you go to lunch? If yes, do you permit the potential employer to pay for your lunch? If no, why?arrow_forwardBailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 1. You are working in a client’s home, providing direct service to a 4 year old child. The child’s parent offers you a cup of coffee, stating that he just made a fresh pot. You are tired, and could really use a cup of coffee. How might accepting a cup of coffee affect you objectivity toward your client or the client’s family? How might your accepting the cup of coffee affect the client’s parent’s ability to complain about or fire you, should the need arise? Would accepting a cup of coffee every now and then, under circumstances like these, damage the professional relationship? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- Bailey & Burch 25 Essential Skills and Strategies for the Professional Behavior Analyst. Ch. 1. You are at a regularly scheduled, monthly meeting chaired by the director of the practice where you work. The director provides lunch at the meeting. Do you eat the lunch? Why or why not? What are your thoughts on accepting the lunch affecting your objectivity with regard to your employer’s conduct?
