Solving first 4 parts as per HOMEWORKLIB POLICY. Please post the rest in a separate question. Thank you.

5. As a healthcare administrator the following virtues are expected of me-

• Understanding
• Patient
• Expert in communication and management
• Able to handle pressure
• Knowledgeable in the field
• Honest

6. I would want to hire employees who not only have the same virtues as described above, but are also hard working and amiable. It is supremely important in this high pressure environment where emotions often run high and human welfare is of supreme importance.

7. Eudaimonia means 'welfare' or more accurately 'societal welfare'. For me personally it is important not only at a moral level, but also at an economical level. From a moral perspective, the most productive and fulfilling thing someone can do is to contribute positively to the society and in its progress. From a economical perspective, maximizing social welfare is what economics is all about and is the end goal. So for me, it makes sense both in a personal and professional sense.

8. As an administrator its my job to literally 'administrate', meaning making sure everything is done properly and within moral and corporate guidelines. It also means that I will have to make choices that I deem best suited to get the job done within these parameters. And if and when these choices turn out to be wrong, then its my job as the leader to accept the responsibilities for those choices.
