Conclusion

Prejudice and ethical/leadership issues with healthcare are nothing new but the fight to keep those standards and ethics on an even keel and prevent racism, bigotry and predudice of any sort including based on class, money, political ideology, nationalism, and so forth should be stomped out and eviscerated whenever it can be. People are people and should treated with dignity and respect regardless of their race, gender, beliefs and so forth. Even convicted murderers and rapists should not be treated disdain due to their actions because doing otherwise lowers the ethics and standards of the healthcare community that can and should still apply at all times.

The idea with this part of the strategy is to be able to form some kind of a partnership with these individuals. This will help to push for a transformation inside the organization. As, these people will help to provide everyone with: a reason for adapting and pushing others to do so (indirectly). (Turner, 1999, pp. 162 -- 163)
Once this occurs, you could then have these individuals become a part of a committee. They will have the responsibility for making specific recommendations about how this can be implemented. This is important, because this will help everyone to realize that some kind of change is occurring inside the facility. Over the course of time, this will lead to shifts in the operating environment by giving people reason for embracing these changes. (Turner, 1999, pp. 162 -- 163)

Leadership and Management in Healthcare

Effective Leadership and Management

Leadership is much like communications in regards to the complexity inherent in these concepts. There are many different perspectives that are used to examine these issues and researchers study leadership and management from such disciplines includes Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Social Psychology, Business, and Sociology. There have been somewhere in the neighborhood of six to eight major approaches, depending on the vantage point, to leadership theory produced in the scientific literature over the last sixty years and even more have emerged from outside academia (Kilburg & Donohue, 2011). Competing theories include such perspectives as trait theory, situational theory, behavioral theory, competencies theory, network theory of leadership and many more.

Much of the work that a nurse-leader engages in on a daily basis rests in their ability to communicate with others; including clients, colleagues, superiors, and subordinates. Therefore, since this position is heavily group…...

II. Leadership Strategy for Transition or Change

Watkins proposes 'Five Fundamental Propositions' in his work and the first is which that the "root causes of transition failure always lie in a pernicious interaction between the situation, with its opportunities and pitfalls, and the individuals with his or her strengths and vulnerabilities." Or otherwise stated no superheroes exist and the leadership is not a complete failure but the combination of the two determine the direction of the organization. The second proposition is that "there are systematic methods that leaders can employ to both lessen the likelihood of failure and reach the breakeven point faster." (2003) There are however proven and reliable methods that leaders must use to ensure success or at least minimize possibilities leading to failure. Third Watkins proposes that "overriding goal in a transition is to build momentum by creating virtuous cycles that build credibility…...

Healthcare Leadership and Strategy in the Clinical Audit Unit for Healthcare

(Preist, 2007)
The different issues that are affecting the facility are: directly tied to a lack of leadership inside the organization. This is problematic, because the staff members will often look to upper management and supervisors to determine how they should be interacting with patients. When they see that managers do not care, they will exhibit similar kinds of views as part of their job. This is the point that efficiency will decline and costs will increase. Once this occurs, it means that it is only a matter of time until this will lead to an erosion in the profit margins of the organization.

Evidence of this can be seen by looking at the different challenges that have been reported at California Hospital Medical Center to include: high employee turnover, a lack of follow up and poor customer service. These three factors are indications that the there is lack of leadership…...

Leadership Concepts
In the world of healthcare, strong leadership is something that requires reaching out to others. This means using specific practices and techniques that will help in accomplishing critical objectives. To be successful, it is imperative to embrace a certain mindset, behaviors and philosophy. This will have a lasting effect on the organization by establishing standards to improve quality and make it more responsive to the needs of stakeholders. Over the course of time, this will redefine their image and ability to adjust with them. (Sloane, 2003)

The best leaders are those individuals who have the ability to inspire others around them. They will embrace a flexible attitude through setting the example and treating everyone with a certain amount of respect. In these situations, the atmosphere means reducing the levels of intensity and troubleshooting critical challenges. These changes will help the team to work more effectively with one another. (Sloane, 2003)

Leadership is paramount in the more globalized economic structure. Companies are now expanding into emerging markets at a very rapid pace. Competition from markets including China, India, and Brazil, now create a more competitive dynamic in regards to labor. Companies need leaders who can flourish irrespective of their geographic locations. Leaders now must also be cognizant of cultural values as they attempt to inspire and motivate their personnel. An awareness of individual leadership strength and weaknesses is therefore needed to navigate a constantly changing and dynamic environment. A self inventory of corresponding strengths and weaknesses will allow the future leader to be better prepared for many of the more complex aspects of leadership (Spillane, 2004).
While reading the leadership styles inventory, a litany of concepts emerged. For one, my style is not that of an authoritarian but rather that of a cooperative, collectivistic leader. I prefer to work alongside my employees…...

Healthcare Leadership
The author of this report has been asked to review and critique an article. The article relates to the general topic of choice, that being leadership of healthcare professionals. The points and parts of this response will include the general focus of the article, the conclusions of the author, a discussion about the report and the opinion of the author of this report when it comes to all of the above. The article chosen for this review and report is from the Oman Medical Journal and was authored by Abdulaziz Al-Sawai. The premise of the article is a question that perhaps many people ask out loud, that being where the paradigm and marketplace stands when it comes to the leadership of healthcare professionals. While there are many differing and valid perspectives when it comes to healthcare leadership, there are many valid viewpoints to consider and the viewpoint of Al-Sawai…...

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…...

The experiences of seniors within the healthcare delivery system will alter how all Americans view healthcare. The healthcare delivery systems and overall organizational structure in the United States has been slow to adjust but that rest of the world is currently in flux that will migrate into our system. Technological advances in communication have made telehealth and telemedicine vialbel solutions to our outdated healthcare industry orgainzational structre. While these types of advances are only in their infancy, "...there seemed to be broad acceptance that telehealth and telemedicine had provided positive benefits to the worlds healthcare delivery system." (Telehealth Applications) Our technoloically challenged seniors have actually discovered the trend within the healthcare system and telehealth and telemedicine seems to be an advance that will find worldwide support so we as a nation will be reqquired to jump on the bandwagon.

Leadership & Management in Health Care

President Clinton's Secretary of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, used to tell a story about her mother, who was 86 at the time but still a full-time attorney representing several clients who lived in nursing homes. She would tell Shalala, "Donna, I don't care whether they are good nursing homes or bad nursing homes, you have to watch them like a hawk" (Cited in White House, 1998, quoted by Hovey 2000, 43). Clinton's presidency was very aware of health care issues, even if it was unable to solve them. Shalala's remarks were delivered at a press conference regarding nursing home regulation; arguably, under the current administration, issues of health care for the aged have gotten more problematical rather than less.

Background

Despite relatively little action regarding health care for the aged by the federal government, there is little doubt that the news…...

1993). Within medical settings in particular, physicians and supervisors are often too over-burdened with their myriad formal responsibilities to take note of minor irregularities in protocols and procedures. Because coworkers are often in the best possible situation to notice inadequacies, it is important for all levels of employees to be equally involved in the overall CQI process.
Optimal implementation of an effective CQI process also requires a culture of openness to suggestion and confidentiality with respect to reporting more serious issues such as those that result from negligence or willful misconduct on the part of co-workers.

In some respects, the challenges faced by leaders in health care organizations do not vary from those faced by leaders in other organizations. The balance between patient outcomes, the disparate groups of subject matter experts and the challenges presented by operating in a highly regulated and litigious industry, in addition to the life-and-death consequences of the organization's work highlight the need for unique leadership in health care. Resources are finite and fleeting, crises are manifold and constraints are many. The health care leader must have an acute sense of how to bring all of these different resources together -- this means having in-depth knowledge but also a feel for how all the pieces come together and how different changes will affect the organization's outcomes.

Leading people is a far different challenge compared with managing resources, because attention must be paid to the needs of the workforce. Yet, because the workforce is…...

They will need others to contemplate on some issues as well as complete the required tasks. Therefore, an ENTJ leader will need to accompany a team as expected. That is to say, that a team player should remain incorporated in the leadership processes, if this is a necessary component that will enable completion of the set task. Here, one will establish that the leadership associations remain a two-way corporation/correspondence to enhance personal freedom. In addition, the development of the policies in for instance the community healthcare provision, will have established structures that allow effective coordination of activities involved such that implementation of the appropriate strategies are done as expected (Sperry, 2002). Still in as the working as a team is concerned, organizations structure that concern making decisions, and essential detailed examination of the elements of the structure to answer the arising questions are vital considerations.

The article taken into consideration in this assignment is Home Care: The Fastest Growing Low-Wage Industry by Candace Howes. In accordance to Howes (2015), essentially all the growth and development in the Long-standing Services and Supports industry is encompassed in home and community-based services that are progressively being more subjugated by the fast-growing for-profit home care agency industry where charters are making considerable and noticeable progress (Howes, 2015). In contradiction of nurses' aides in hospitals and nursing homes, who are undertaking, in fact, similar jobs, home care workers employed by these agencies and by public entities are not covered under the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act). In turn, this makes it prohibitive for them to link with unions and repudiating them the right to minimum wage and overtime protection (Howes, 2015).
