Leadership Approaches and Models in Health Care
Leadership is the process of directing others in the performance of particular activities to attain shared organizational goals. Good leadership is crucial as it has a perspective in enhancing performance and overall organizational productivity. Within a healthcare setting, leadership helps improve patient care outcomes and operational efficiency in managing day to day activities. Like in other sectors, most healthcare facilities grapple with finding an effective leader. Part of the reason is that leadership needs are multi-dynamic, situational, and dependent on specific contexts such as the staff experience, internal policies, organizational culture, and routine operational activities. A thorough discussion on clinical leadership coupled with the modeling of leadership will provide an opportunity for assessing its role in healthcare performance and insights in developing effective leadership.
Role of Effective Leadership On Healthcare Performance
Leadership management is an important function in the attainment of high-quality care and seamless running of operations. The rationale for this can be attributed to the duality of leadership, as it is bound by a relationship between the led and the follows. The requirement for evidence-based practices in healthcare demands a leader that is both responsive and receptive to organizational needs and changes (Tretiakov, Whiddett, & Hunter, 2017). As a function of the leader and the led, a leader's personal qualities are important as they dictate leadership style choice.
