Comment [A1]: The page recommendations are 8-10 pages.Leadership Self-Assessment discussion

Pay special attention to length, organization, and precision in writing to the feedback. Convincing people about their own abilities and talents as well as persuading all team members to have a shared vision can help create an empowered team and, in turn, lead to effective leadership. An Evaluation of Leadership Strengths and Weaknesses Every leader has certain qualities that set him or her apart from the rest. I believe that some of my qualities will strengthen my leadership abilities while others may weaken them. Compassion is one of my strengths. It involves a desire to alleviate others’ suffering. In health care, one can exhibit compassion by responding to the suffering and vulnerability of patients and their relatives with kindness and sensitivity, which is a feature of compassionate leadership. Compassion is essential toward patients who may fear the uncertainty of the future and the Comment [A2]: Good identification of this style. This might be a good place to define this with the literature for support possible loss of their autonomy, dignity, and body control. However, compassionate leadership can be challenging and difficult to sustain in health care organizations. Sometimes, as a health care professional, I may not have the time to listen to patients. Instead, I may have to take quick actions that may seem harsh. These conflicts might cause me to experience burnout or an overload as a health care leader (de Zulueta, 2015)Leadership Self-Assessment discussion

. I also possess empathy and the ability to listen, both qualities that can be analyzed using Comment [A3]: Yes, this is an occupational hazard for many. How does an effective leader manage a balance, being compassionate while maintaining boundaries? Any thoughts about this? the servant leadership model. Servant leaders are empathetic and good listeners. They never hesitate to help others, even their subordinates (Boden, 2014). This quality will help me understand the issues and concerns of my team members and provide me the motivation to do everything in my capacity to help them. However, I might be taken for granted as I consider others’ needs first, which might affect my leadership. Copyright © 2017 Capella University. Copy and distribution of this document is prohibited. Comment [A4]: Yes…again this area of balance seems relevant. How might this be addressed in practice? ETHICAL LEADERSHIP 3 I also possess the ability to adapt. Adaptability helps leaders accept new challenges and Comment [A5]: A fine strength! change behaviors and policies to tackle these challenges. The ability to overcome challenges through collaboration is a primary characteristic of adaptive leadership (Trastek, Hamilton, & Niles, 2014)\Leadership Self-Assessment discussion

Collaborative leaders understand the needs of different functions and business units. They patiently interact with colleagues who may initially find the shared purpose of collaboration difficult to understand. They are open to multiple opinions and perspectives and empathize with colleagues whose positions are different from their own (Lash, 2012). Comment [A6]: Good identification of these traits with support from the literature… Along with my strengths, I will have to acknowledge my weaknesses, too. I have realized that I lack foresight and the power to persuade. I would like to develop the foresight to be able to anticipate possible roadblocks and guide my team in the midst of challenging circumstances. I would also like to develop the ability to persuade others to understand my vision and point of view. The transformational leadership model states that this ability is important when one wants to empower others by making them believe in their abilities (Malloch, 2014).Leadership Self-Assessment discussion

Leadership Self-Assessment discussion I have identified my strengths and weaknesses after self-introspection. However, they are Comment [A7]: Good. How might this be accomplished? What steps will you need to take to integrate these characteristics into your repertoire of skills? based on my opinions about myself and what my friends and family have said about me. Therefore, biases may be present as these qualities are not a result of any personality test that measure personality traits objectively. What I consider strengths may be considered weaknesses by others. For example, my adaptability may be considered a lack of decision-making ability by Comment [A8]: Good point about potential biases and the difference between subjective and objective data from supervisors/subordinates, etc. others. Similarly, my compassion may be regarded as an excess of patience while dealing with peers and patients. I will have to be aware of these biases as I grow as a leader. Leadership Characteristics and Change Management As one grows in one’s leadership roles as a health care leader, one will face new challenges such as insufficient funding and complicated treatment dilemmas.Leadership Self-Assessment discussion

Comment [A9]: Yes, the ability to be selfaware and present is so important for leaders in the field. Excellent point ETHICAL LEADERSHIP 4 circumstances, leaders will have to implement a few changes in organizational policies, which may not be readily accepted by team members. Some of the barriers to successful change management are overly strict guidelines, ineffective leadership, unrealistic planning, lack of collaboration, and unclear goals and performance expectations (Longenecker, & Longenecker, 2014).Leadership Self-Assessment discussion

Thus, effective change management becomes an essential skill that health care leaders should possess. The complexity model of leadership may help my team thrive in the midst of organizational changes. This model is based on understanding the external environment, adaptive capacity, and connecting with the internal organizational culture. This model can improve collaboration among teams. My adaptability will help me guide my team to face new situations and resolve issues collaboratively. I can help my team members adapt to the changes by addressing their concerns and projecting the positive aspects of the changes. My communication skills will allow me to facilitate interprofessional collaboration as I will be able to ensure that the views of the members of each department are communicated to other departments to set parameters to guide the organization. By communicating with different departments, I will be able to build a strong network and implement distributed decision-making, which will help the organization adapt to the pressures of change quickly. (Weberg, 2012). Ensuring that my compassion is reflected in my team members, while treating and handling patients may foster collaboration as compassion is found to make teams self-organizing and able to solve problems creatively (de Zulueta, 2015).Leadership Self-Assessment discussion

Comment [A12]: An excellent section; showing respect for team members and establishing relationships with departments leads to trust, effective communication and collaboration. ETHICAL LEADERSHIP 5 Communication skills have been proven to be key while handling organizational changes. I understand that to communicate effectively, straightforward words should be used. For example, if an organization is planning to change its rules, the rules should be simple so that team members can remember and understand them. It increases the chances of team members following these rules in daily practice. Simple rules have been found to facilitate effective change management in health care systems. In my experience, I have noticed that strong networking and distributed decision-making, which depend on strong communication, help an organization adapt to the pressures of change quickly and effectively (Weberg, 2012). The Comment [A13]: Yes…Shared decision making may lead to ownership of the process. personal characteristics of a team leader, such as communication skills and adaptability, have been found to be tied to the success of the interprofessional relationships among team members Comment [A14]: A fine section. in a team. Personal Leadership Characteristics and Interprofessional Relationships Different leadership models have different approaches to facilitate collaboration within and between teams. The different qualities I possess will have different effects on my ability to lead interprofessional teams. My compassion will help me understand my team members’ concerns and motivate me to help them. This would in turn strengthen my relationship with my staff and encourage collaboration among my team members. As a leader, I can ensure that I nurture compassion among team members by creating systems that can help control anxiety, support the individuals involved, and harness positive adaptive responses to challenges. I will strive to promote an environment of openness, which will allow new learning and the sharing of errors, mistakes, and hazards (de Zulueta, 2015). Adaptability is another quality I possess that will help me foster collaboration among my team members. Adaptive leadership involves leading a group or many groups of people in times Copyright © 2017 Capella University. Copy and distribution of this document is prohibited. Comment [A15]: Great points. How might this be accomplished in practice? Can you provide an example? ETHICAL LEADERSHIP 6 of change. Adaptive leaders ease the distress of team members created by change and facilitate collaboration. Adaptive leaders try to solve problems through group discussions and collaboration rather than only by providing technical solutions. However, adaptive leadership may not foster teamwork in emergency situations that require immediate attention (Trastek, Hamilton, & Niles, 2014). I may also run the risk of violating ethics by being too adaptable about Comment [A16]: An important distinction in health care. certain organizational policies and patient procedures. Balancing adherence to ethic
