Poor Healthcare Leadership
The study will concern itself with "the impact of poor leadership in the healthcare industry on workers' morale and patient care."
Bad leadership has many negative consequences. In addition to being unable to offer followers a clear direction, an ineffective leader is prone to issuing inconsistent instructions that in most cases end up confusing the recipients. The end result in such a case is poor execution of tasks. It is also important to note that those with poor leadership skills and abilities fail to give direction that could see members of their team improve for fear of loosing their jobs to the said team members once they gain the necessary competence. In this project, I will explore the impact of bad leadership most particularly in the healthcare industry. In particular, I will explore the effect poor leadership has on the morale of workers and consequently, patient care. In addition to helping identify the characteristics of poor leaders, a study of this nature will also be of great significance in the identification of the impact of poor leadership on not only the morale of workers but also on patient care. Findings in this case will help in the formulation of solutions to help minimize the impact poor leadership in the healthcare setting has on workers' morale. Depending on the relationship between poor leadership and the morale of workers, findings in this case could also help in the formulation of policies that could further enhance the delivery of quality patient care.
