Therefore, leaders should be responsible for meeting employees where they are, rather than vice versa. I plan to implement this theory by spending some time with employees and colleagues to get a better understanding of their needs for growth and improvement. After this I would create a plan that points out areas for improvement and better engagement and would follow that.

This task is very important because colleagues and employees need to have a good understanding of the concepts and ideas needed to do their jobs and grow in them. It is a leader’s responsibility to articulate and relay information in a way that can be understood by others. Part of the reason why a leader is a leader is because of their ability to delegate and deliver correct information and tasks, and that is something I often look forward to. I will be successful as a healthcare leader when I can communicate and engage with employees while assessing the big picture and making

Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016).

Healthcare is a complex industry and these skills are essential to a smoothly run system. For instance, leadership skills are considered very important because good leaders are able to be authoritative but also have an interpersonal relationship with the people they are mentoring or leading (Cushing, 2016). This creates a positive work environment and enhances quality of care given to patients. Furthermore, a well-rounded leader in the health care industry will create opportunities for their employees and introduce them to challenges while also supporting them though the situation (Cushing, 2016). Also, a skill incorporated into leadership that can be connected to management is the change factor of healthcare.

Dictionary.com (n.d.) had defined chaos as a state of confusion, disorder, disorganized or a behavior of a system which is unpredictable and random. Healthcare system now is in chaos, mainly due to the reforming, emerging of technology, rapidly increase in demand due to increase populations in chronic illness, scientific advances and high expectation on quality patient outcome by educated public.

They are able to connect, communicate and coordinate across multiple departments, professional opinions and voices, and the daily schedules of patients. Advocating and designing care with the patient and family is a true skills set and cultural attribute that adds tremendously to a culture of safety and patient – centeredness but requires the most able leadership to build these bridges across the many professionals engaged in care. Building this culture is a leadership challenge and there is no one in my experience better able to make these changes than nursing leaders ( Maureen Bisognano, 2009). Nurses should not just be at the bedside or within the nursing community but must be involved as leaders and decision – makers throughout the healthcare system. As Maureen Bisognano (2009) points out, the best nurses are accomplished envoys among different players and interests involved in direct patient care, which is a skill needed throughout organizations and businesses, not just in hospitals or
