One way of doing this could be through business process modeling, a tool used by businesses to create a diagram of the various business processes and actions that are carried out within a company.

My thoughts about management are a lot different than the preliminary reading of the textbook, “Introduction to Health Care Management” By Buchbinder & Shanks (2011). The text suggests that a leader had an inherent trait (i.e., ethnicity, gender, body structure), and did not consider the characteristics of an individual. It is hard to imagine that such an idea could have ever existed, but from a historical viewpoint, it is required to know how things began. Fast forward, a century, I learned that companies discovered that leadership could be designed according to a certain mindset and ideas. From this reading, I acquired the most knowledge about leadership through the categorical contemporary model. The contemporary model focused on
