Navigating the challenges of leadership in health care requires not only knowledge of the health care organizations and systems, but also interpersonal effectiveness and the ability to communicate with a wide range of personnel and managers. The presence of often opposing viewpoints sets the stage for conflict as each side defends the interests of their group or organization. Honing the skills of conflict management is an essential experience for effective leaders.
As an established health care professional, you have been assigned to create a leadership initiative that will improve work-life balance, productivity, or engagement for an organization. You will then present your idea and defend it to the organization’s board, who will choose one of the ideas presented and implement it.
Choose an initiative idea that would improve the work lives of you and your colleagues (work-life balance, productivity, or engagement).
Create an 8- to 12-slide presentation in which you share your proposal to the organization’s board. Be sure to write to your audience in professional manner. In your presentation:
- Explain your chosen initiative.
- Justify how this initiative would benefit your organization (including data research).
- Analyze how complexity leadership strategies could be leveraged to help implement this initiative.
- Explain which strategies would be the best for gaining buy-in on this initiative from all levels of the organization.
- Describe how you would address conflict and a variety of viewpoints during the implementation of this initiative.
- Predict potential results of implementing your chosen initiative.
Cite any sources to support your assessment.
Format your citations according to APA guidelines.
