The need for good leaders in the healthcare industry is extremely prevalent. However, the industry does not only need good leaders, but diverse leaders as well. James Gauss, senior vice president at Witt/Kieffer’s an executive search firm that specializes in recruiting states that "it is remarkable that even though a majority of professionals see the value of different cultures in the workplace, there is still not enough happening to close the leadership gap," (Cheung-Larviee, 2012). The patient population is becoming more and more diverse and being able to have leaders that represent that population is important. An article published in the California Society of Anesthesiologists by Salisbury & Byrd states that As the U.S. becomes more ethnically

The Americans followed this until more and more Americans started to live there and started to break their rules. The Mexicans did not like this at all and they want to make sure they have an agreement on still on this land. Was this the right thing to do or could have the Mexicans do something different? I will be explaining this in the next few paragraphs.

The leadership competency for development I chose to work on is Knowledge of the Healthcare Environment. I chose this competency because I have very little knowledge of the healthcare environment and feel it would greatly benefit me to broaden my knowledge in this area since I would like to work with the older population as a care manager/geriatric care manager type role in the near future.

There is also a study research survey of Chief Executive Officer’s and Human Resources executives that established and believed their leadership development programs were ineffective due the leadership gap within their organization (Molinaro and Weiss, 2005). For

Nurses demonstrate the core values of professionally caring for others in two different prospects. Huber (2014), notes that “nurses have two basic roles: care providers and care coordinators” (p. 3). Most significantly nurses are valued in the setting of patient care, while the coordinator role revolves around management and organizing care, using thinking skills to coordinate complex activities.

A good CEO of a health organization should have an aim to be successful in providing of appropriate, efficient, equitable and sustainable resources to the community. Good management is only achievable if the resources that are used for service provision are brought together during service delivery and are consequently carefully coordinated. Managers in the healthcare departments have a legal and obligatory duty of ensuring that there is provision of efficient and appropriate services within the hospital and health institutions in which they lead (Parand, Dopson & Vincent, 2014). Administrations in Healthcare field have to make sure that their patients care providers are in high level of quality and based on that, these are individuals who have to work hard to make sure that the providers of healthcare are improving their level of healthcare quality (Masadeghrad, 2014).

So, it is very obvious that administrators in health care organizations have essential roles when it is related to providing a high quality of healthcare as well as safety of patients within hospital organizations.
Cultural competency in Healthcare is increasing drastically due to a number of factors.
