The value and leadership skills in healthcare are both very professions are vital skills that are needed to provide everyday care (Graber, 2008). This literature review will explore the important values and leadership in health care. The review will provide the understandings of both topics. The term value can be determined by a person's standards and principles (Gaudine & Beaton, 2002). According to Grojean, Resick & Diskson (2004) leadership, is an actual way to improve patient`s. A good leader is said to reveal certain roles and behaviors that influence others in the way of positive change and direction. Viinamäki, (2009) back these same ideas but also have confidence in that there is a difference between value and leadership. They believe that leaders are viewed as individuals who can connect through motivation, visions, and inspire positive directions to generate company and organizational change. Graber (2008) impression of leadership can be understood as the capability of one person to impact the behaviors and actions of other people.

Competitive and challenging business environment is in every field, and the health care industry is no exception. An administrator requires to adapt to a specific leadership style to meet the demands of the situation and face the challenges of the organization. As a leader, one must focus on the needs of employees, before on pondering his or her own needs.

During the 1800’s, mental health care was not prominent within communities. People that needed mental health care had no options to improve their daily lives. Throughout the 1840’s, social work activists fought for the creation of mental health care providers. Since then, there has been an influx of mental health care communities for individuals such as Valley Community Service Board. Having attended a meeting at Valley, our class was exposed to the concept of board managed organizations. This meeting allowed us to shape our thoughts about community service boards. At this meeting, the speakers showed that there is a lack of financial support, not enough staff which has resulted in less accessible mental health care options. Without the start

Many people suffer from mental health challenges. Often times individuals need a place to go to obtain help both mentally and physically. Mental health problems can affect a significant amount of people. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood (“What is mental health?”, 2013 ). Mental health problems can become prevalent at any stage of life. It is important that those mental health problems be addressed and what better way to address those issues is to reach out to the local community to find those resources that can help assist in emergent and non-emergent mental health care.

As an ethical theory servant leadership looks at the duties of leaders and the consequences of leadership actions. The approaches to examine the decisions and consequences of ethical leadership include ethical egoism, making decisions that act for the good of the leader; utilitarianism, making decisions that provide benefit to the greatest number; and altruism, actions are only deemed moral if they show primary concern for others. Looking at this set of approaches, it can be seen that servant leadership can be assessed in these terms. The leadership model is described as primarily focused on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong (What is servant leadership n.d.). The servant-leader believes in power sharing, putting the needs of others before himself and helping team members develop and perform as highly as possible. The servant leadership model is made up of the following key

The concept of servant leadership has been in practice long before Greenleaf coined the term in the seventies (Spears, 2010). Servant leadership in its most simplistic form is defined as, “serving others before serving ourselves” (Davenport, 2015, p. 301). The characteristics of servant leadership have been developed to aid in today’s leadership roles in regards to nursing practice. The author will discuss three characteristics- listening, awareness, and commitment, and their importance to servant leadership. The author will also discuss the application of servant leadership in nursing practice and the how her viewpoints of leadership have changed with the application of this concept.

It has been my goal since beginning in the field of social work to begin addressing some of the disparities surrounding mental health that exist within varying communities. It is common knowledge that communities with a high rates of poverty are not considered a priority when receiving the help that is needed when addressing the mind's health. This is evidenced by the state of the healthcare system that exists within this country. Though healthcare has seen drastic changes over the past few years under the Obama administration, there still remains a gap in care to people who need it.

Leadership effectiveness is dependent on the relationship between the leader and the followers and can be effective if the leader is popular or authoritative in situations depending on the experiences and expectations of the employees (Schultz, D., Schultz, S., 2010). Although the contingency theory has merit and is valued in many organizations this author feels that servant leadership and path-goal theory is better suited to this author in her work with an Assertive Community Treatment team for a community mental health center. In an ACT team is important that the staff have the skills and confidence they need as they go into the community to provide services and make decisions working with consumers with severe persistent mental illness. In order to provide support and assist the staff in building their confidence and developing skills needed in their jobs the servant leadership style and path-goal theory of leadership provides the best approach to leadership for an ACT team.

One way my organization has been able to create the success we have is through a process that is described in our text as the quality movement, where those in a leadership role participate in the functions of daily activities, and the organization continually looks to progress in the areas of expertise it has developed, while using different collections of employees to gain a better perspective on the service or product lines (Manning & Curtis, 2008). The most influential part of the quality movement definition to my organization, is the constant activities related to improving mental health service delivery. The standards set by management will become the most accurate way to define the standards that are set in place to deliver the best

This means that she has to plan and MC the service. On every Sunday, while either leading praise service or singing in the choir, her total focus and dedication towards pleasing God shines like the rays from the sun. Even when her throat hurts and voice is hoarse, she still gives it her all. Outside of actual service, you can usually find my mom engaging in positive and joyous conversation with other Saints of the church. To illustrate, she’s the First Lady of our church. So, many times people like to talk to my mom for help, guidance, or just so they can get someone to listen to them. My mom welcomes these encounters, and never tries to get out of them by leaving the building before anyone can stop her. Even if she’s tired, or has some other work to do elsewhere, she allows people to reach her. One of these encounters might be my mom heading towards the doors of the church with dreary eyes and the sound of her bed calling in her ear. On her way, she gets stopped by a woman saying, “Excuse me, can I talk to you about something?” Nothing escapes from my mom other than a smile and gracious “Of course.” All that could be heard from her while in this little meeting were words of encouragement and appropriate guidance. If one pays close attention, the warmth of support and encouragement towards people can be deeply felt.
