In order for the health service to achieve the delivery of high quality, safe, effective care; successful leadership will be required at multidisciplinary level throughout the organisation (Health Service Executive 2009). Research on leadership has revealed an optimistic affiliation with improved patient safety results, salubrious work environment (Shirley 2009), job fulfilment (Sellgren et al. 2007), reduced staff resignation rate,

Leadership is a difficult task, by which a person impacts others to accomplish an objective. While this is a challenging situation in any field, it is of extreme significance in the healthcare setting, where quality of service, trust, and ultimately people's lives are dependant. In addition, leadership-- whether it be positive or

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). Although our greatest

I believe that collective leadership in healthcare is needed to overcome the challenges facing the health sector in the country. Collective leadership implies that leadership power is allocated to where there is motivation, capability,

The article by David Hemenway shed reasons why Public Health is underfunded but Medicine is always funded either through charities or investment. No one want to invest in Public Health because when you do, you do not get your name on building or a wing or room, you do not get public attention for it. But if the government are the only ones who funds Public Health wont there be problem. The government are in charge of a lot projects, because of this a lot of things fall through the cracks if they do not present immediate treat. A treat to us as individuals now, might not be a treat to the government as of now. The government only swiftly react when things are almost out of contol. Do we want our public health to be out of control before we do

1. This case discussed Dr. Helene D. Gayle’s career that is fighting with AIDS epidemic, and stated that how Dr. Gayle successfully utilized the effective managerial leadership in her position. In my opinion, this case not only propagandizes that these infectious diseases, such as AIDS, STD, and TB, for humans and the whole world are still a huge challenge, but introduces that Dr. Gayle’s personal magnetism charisma and leadership on managing her teams and preventing AIDS all over the world. Thus, this case is very important because it teaches us that a public leader or supervisor who only has managerial skills is not enough; meanwhile, they

"Leadership is about inspiration. It's about having a vision, believing in that vision, and being willing to sacrifice for that vision in a way that inspires others to join you." The doctors and nurses on the front lines of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa and their boundless courage and resilient have been an inspiration to me. Despite working in conditions of severe workforce shortages, inadequate facilities and major personal risk, these health workers were able to provide the necessary care that will save lives and help to end the outbreak. To me, all of these staff made huge personal sacrifices. A majority of them worked within the red zone on a day-to-day basis, and that's what's provided the clinical capacity to support the health system.

Recalling on past readings when evaluating public health it is crucial to take into account how factors such as biopower & biopolitics, modes of authority, social constructivism, structural violence & social suffering among other factors all collectively shape the profound changes in population health outcomes.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines public health as the “organized measures, whether public or private, to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life among the population as a whole. Its activities aim to provide conditions in which people can be healthy and focus on entire populations, not on individual patients or diseases. Thus, public health is concerned with the total system and not only the eradication of a particular disease.” (Coovadia, n.d). From my perspective the public health concepts involves the conscious decision by every individual in society to create an environment that is conducive to good health. These individuals could be a Politician with the power to influence healthy legislations, or just a restaurant Chef who sterilizes the kitchen utensils regularly.

The organization has an issue with collaboration, specifically the administrator’s ability to lead a client and the creative subordinates through a project effectively.
