Bibliography on Leadership Developing a Culturally Competent Health Network: A Planning Framework and Guide Cultural competency in Healthcare is increasing drastically due to a number of factors. These factors include changing demographic, quality of improvements, regulatory requirements, care missions and accreditation standards. To effectively facilitate any organization, strategic goals and objectives should be established. They should be established with the provision of patient care in mind. Strategic planning implementation go through a process that consist of teams achieving the specific objectives and purposes that have been put into place by the organization. (Gertner, E. 2010)
The Public Health field is constantly changing and adapting to a new environment and changes that are occurring worldwide. Many of the Leadership and Management Skill trends that are affecting Public Health are the demographic shifts that are occurring in the US population. Accountability in relation to public responsiveness, assessing emerging health risks, and changes in health services delivery and financing, as well as leadership geared towards being collective and with less stress being place on the individual, are various trends that are affecting different forms of management. Within this paper, I will be examining collective leadership and how that will affect work at the individual level. Many do not fully understand what kind of role that Public Health and more specifically Public Health agencies play in their health and everyday lives,
Leadership can be defined in many different ways. Some people are saying that leadership is “the behavior of the individual…”(Hemphill & Coons, 1957, p. 7), some others may describe it as “the influential increment over and above mechanical compliance with the routine directives of the organization” (Katz & Kahn, 1978, p. 528). I have to admit that I completely agree that every one of them but I personally believe that that the leadership is “the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization...” (House et al., 1999, p. 184). As I mention in my first paper that good leaders care not only about their personal best, they always want to get the best out
Working in the health care environment the world needs effective, wise and visionary leaders, leadership matters in every organisation to change the health care environment so it may continue to grow to ensure it gives us better evidence based practice (Evans & M.L, 2015, p 34-50). All health care professionals are required at some point in their position to engage in management or leadership. As an AIN, EN or RN they all have a responsibility to educate, lead and manage within the health care profession (Innis & Berta, 2016, p.2-22). This allows each individual to develop useful and excellent leadership skills and management strategies to be able to educate and lead an exceptional team (Innis & Berta, 2016, p. 2-22).

Leadership Theory in Practice and Implementation of the Doctorate of Nursing Practice Project As the health care environment in our country continues to change at a rapid pace, the need for properly prepared leaders in all health care environments will grow. The Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) prepared nurse will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to rise to the highest levels of leadership in the institution of health care. To be an effective leader requires knowledge of the organization’s mission and the guidance of a theory of leadership congruent with and capable of delivering the facility’s objective. The traits of the leader must harmonize with the theory of leadership that is applied. Through careful examination of an organization’s structure, an appropriate leadership style to match the traits of the leader and followers may be identified. Connecting the organization, leadership style, and traits of the leader and followers will promote success with the implementation of new processes to improve the quality of patient care for the population served.
Changes are the only constant that is happening in healthcare leadership. Leaders are motivated to transform their organization to be more patient centered amid the complexity of regulations and policies that our health care leaders encounter (Rice, February 13, 2016). Our healthcare industry caters to a very diverse culture and ethnicity, whether in the C-suite or management position, the clients that we have in the hospital setting or in our community. I work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU); our leadership changed so much in the last two years. Nurses now are empowered to suggest changes on how we deliver and take care of our patients. Not only the physicians and management make the decision. Furthermore, we created a culture that everyone is involved and all parties give a better service to our patients and

They must challenge themselves to grow and learn. They must grab an opportunities to innovate, develop, and progress. Leaders challenge their team members to find out new
Leadership Competencies For years in the United States healthcare industry, leaders were not hired with formal training already under their belts, but were thrust into management. This under sight has now started to change because of the new health care laws. The healthcare field has realized that employee turnover was high, and costs were out of control. A main cause of such problems were discovered to be due to a lack of proper guidance and leadership. Healthcare leadership has many challenges “healthcare executives are expected to lead their organizations and their employees with integrity, honesty, energy, and enthusiasm” (McAlearney, 2006, p. 979). Until recently this was hard without competent leadership.

Introduction to leader: In the healthcare industry, there are two types of leader. First is the governing body and the second is the chief executive managers or other senior managers. Physicians are also called the leaders because they can take decisions for the patients. In a hospital, leadership group comprises the leaders of the organized medical staff. Only if these leadership groups work together, collaboratively, to exercise the organization’s leadership function, can the organization reliably achieve its goals.
