Organizational Leadership And Team Development

Assess the effectiveness of own organisation in measuring team performance against organisation goals and objectives

There are two kinds of people in this world, followers and leaders. Followers are the people that never take a leadership role in any activity. "They are more valued by followers and have higher performing teams." (Cherry 2014) However, leaders are the ones that use their leadership skills to make a difference in this world, such as presidents, teachers, or even college graduates. Leadership is not something you can learn from a book, but you have to gain this skill through experiences such as holding an office, organizing an event, speaking in front of people, or participating in a leadership program.

Communication is what the employees need from their employers. Employees look for organizations where communication and process are transparent.

In the case 7, the elected team leader, Christine, was worried that her group will not be able to do on the assigned project, since one member of the group did not fully complete the work (Schermerhorn, Osborn, Uhl-Bien, Hunt, 2012). In my opinion, Christine did not understand the team development stages very well, thus she lost the control over her group. According to Shermerhorn et al. (2012), there are 5 team development stages that each newly created team goes through: forming, storming norming, performing and adjourning. During the initial forming stage, members of the formed team are become acquainted with each other and discuss their strengths and weaknesses (Schermerhorn at al., 2012). In my opinion, Christine knew a little about her teammates, since she described Diane being a quiet, Janet reliable, Steve-business oriented and Mike as a clown (Shermerhorn et al., 2012). However, she did not recognize that Mike’s personality is different from the other group members and did not address this issue with anybody.

The workforce in many parts of the world continues to comprise a multitude of diverse nationalities. Increasingly, organisations within the regions are relying on teams and teamworking in pursuit of performance improvement, while at the same time educational institutions are making increasing use of teamwork as a means for delivering education and learning. It is important, therefore, to understand the differing patterns of teamworking skills developed by workers from diverse backgrounds, as these will have a significant impact on workplace behaviour.

Eight (8) sessions of the Arbinger: Foundations course were facilitated for the organization during Q4. As a result of this effort, seventy-nine (79) employees received development in this area.

A team is a type of organizational group with independent members. They share common goals and work together to meet these goals (Northouse, 2016). The organization where I work has teams at various levels for maximizing the success. These teams include, core teams, coordinating teams, patient aligned care team (PACT), contingency teams, ancillary teams, support and administration teams (Veterans Health Administration [VHA], 2015). Some of these teams have interdepartmental members while others have intradepartmental staff. Successful teams have a concrete blueprint and that contributes to their effective functioning. There are several factors that affect these teams irrespective of the level. The factors comprise the presence of a clear task, separation from non-team members, authority, and stability. The factors like working conditions, team process and bridging the gaps are concerns for the executive level. The complexity of the task, individual skills and their diverse specializations affect the selection of the team members. The team’s meaningful interactions decide their success. Independent teams can help promote friendly competition within the organization and lead to better staff performance. An efficient leader can design and launch an effective team through careful planning and selection of the right members. He/she keeps the factors that affect the success of the team in mind when designing the teams. The patient care units

Hence, they began the tradition of providing high quality healthcare to their neighbors through the creation of Medical Center Hospital (MCH). To serve the emerging health needs of the Permian Basin, MCH has grown from one hospital into a family of advance health care centers. This new MCHS enables us to provide a higher level of comprehensive care and more access points for your health care needs. Through the years, this once small 85 bed community hospital has grown to become a regional medical center and a teaching hospital. MCHS is proud of the patient and family centered care extended to all age groups with each encounter. When you come to MCHS, whether as a patient or a visitor, the employees will provide a friendly, safe, and caring service in an environment that is supported by our vision to be recognized as the premier health system in the Permian Basin. The team of caregivers is comprised of people that are known in the community friends, family, and neighbors. They are people who care that you can trust to meet your healthcare needs. MCHS respects diversity and holds each patient’s expectance unique at the forefront of clinical care decisions.

Examining how students can greater develop their leadership potential has come to the forefront of education, education based athletics, and intercollegiate athletics in recent years. Recent research by (Grandzol, Perlis, Draina, 2010; Forrester & Borsz, 2008) has shown that those who are put into a role as a peer leader tend to develop leadership skills. Those individuals in peer leader roles have benefited from the opportunities they have been exposed to in those roles. In the summer of 2011 Dr. Christina J. Grandzol published a study entitled “An Exploratory Study of the Role of Task Dependence on Team Captains’ Leadership Development.” This study focused on 31 NCAA Division III team captains. While being a peer leader has been shown

The group submission for this week is a summary of five topics from Resilient Leaders that relate to Organizational Management and Leadership. The narrative concludes with three scriptures that group four feels sum up the responsibilities of a leader.

As an allied health leader one is required to know, implement, and evaluate the compliance of the organization. In this paper I will identify an area that is listed on the organization’s report card that can be developed. I will describe the procedures of the plan, and the expectations and possible obstacles this plan may have.

Notably on of the top healthcare systems, the Cleveland Clinic notably employs more than 43,000 healthcare workers, which include physicians as well as researchers that follows a patient-centered model of care. The Cleveland Clinic organizes departments of care based on the disease process or a single organ system. Large healthcare organizations experience challenges when trying to establish an effective team and process, which results in reduced time and waste. The fundamental approach is to provide the ability to empower caregivers to identify and solve problems by providing support and coaching to their daily work.

In this assignment, the role of a team leader working in a care home environment will be described. Then, the effect of transformational leadership theory will be critically analysed and evaluated within the human services and care home setting, using a situation where working together with external agency/agencies support the welfare of a vulnerable group, highlight the challenges, ambiguities and gaps of theory. In the care home sector, a team leader works alongside the manager and their role offers direction and inspiration to others (Law & Glove, 2000). Furthermore, the job requires following organisational policies and procedures in carrying out duties which include supervising and monitoring a team of care, support workers to ensure

The topics discussed by Northouse, Kouzes, and Posner are team leadership. Team leadership are work units that have are interdependent and share common goals (Northouse,2016). In this week?s unit, team leadership will be explained through the Hill Model for Team Leadership and how it applies to team effectiveness. Furthermore, virtual and non-virtual team will be compare and contrast and how to create cohesiveness. Team leadership theory is the key to developing success high performing teams.

Organization development grew out of the human relations traditions of the 1940s and 1950s, and it has had enormous influence on management practices and thinking about how organizational effectiveness can be achieved. Critical manpower and resource shortages faced by all organizations, public and private, during World War II and in the immediate post-war years stimulated a search by social scientist and managers, separately and in cooperation with one another, for effective means to maximize the utilization of existing individual and organizational resources. (Ritcher, I 2007). Organization Development was by tradition about planned change efforts, instituted to enhance organization effectiveness within the context of the traditional, hierarchical, management-as-experts, top-down era. The legacy of leaders and organizations developed in this context remain. Organizational Development is about how organizations and people function and how to get them to function better. Organization transformation signals the need to transform mindsets, engage people and make the deep shift to the ongoing mutual learning environment needed for the long-lasting change characteristic of our world today.
