Over the last two weeks I have spent 13.5 hours with Kyle Wilcox and 7.25 hours with Doris Rindels; for a total of 22.75 hours with Kyle and 8.25 with Doris. During this time, I have had the opportunity to shadow Doris and Kyle during several leadership meetings regarding the integration strategy for Grinnell Regional Medical Center and UnityPoint Health. The organization is actively working on the strategic plans for rolling out various changes within the organization as we move from being a private entity to part of a larger organization. I have also been assigned to take the lead on the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) integration that includes working with the hospital, affiliated clinics, and the skilled nursing facilities in the area to improve the quality of care that the patients in the community receive. I am very excited about this opportunity to be able to utilize the leadership skills that I have learned from this class and my prior classes as well as the implementation strategies that I have learned. …show more content…

In my role as a health coach, I build a trusting relationship with my patients and to gain a deeper understanding of their individual strengths and struggles that they have to overcome. According to DelHousaye & Brewer (2004), leaders cultivate an environment of trust. Creating a trusting environment is essential to the success of my patients in my role as a health coach; if the patients do not trust me then they will not tell me the important details of their situation that impacts their ability to care for their health. During the sessions, I have had patients tell me that they initially thought that I was going to tell them what to do and when, but they realized that I am there to help to overcome their barriers and that they are the one who is in control of their unique

    Self-Reflection as a Leader Self-reflection is the practice of observing one’s own behavior and evaluating the effectiveness of one’s actions for self-development and improvement (Marques, 2017; Spurgeon, 2009). Kellogg Insight (2016) noted that leaders need to reduce the noise in the environment and use solitude to consider values, personal example, priorities and preparation to prevent unwelcome surprises. The argument was made that leaders must practice self-reflection, which enhances self-leadership, to be able to lead others (Kellogg Insight, 2016). Polizzi and Frick (2012) stated that self-reflection allows one to learn from past experiences, which may challenge prior conceptualizations, and result in increased emotional awareness.

    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

    Through self-reflection and academic readings, I have discovered that I identify with three different leadership theories. During the first meeting in a Strength Based Leadership class, we were asked to write our leadership history. The class then began an ongoing exploration of various leadership theories. Upon reviewing my leadership history from the first class and synthesizing the information from the theories that were examined, I discovered that I most resonate with the Trait Leadership Theory, the Skills Leadership Theory, and the Path-Goal Leadership theory. These theories are leader focused, describing the process and techniques a leader uses to accomplish goals.

    Nice discussion post this week! You start off with a great definition of what leadership is. To me, it is hard to define what leadership is, especially in one sentence, but I agree with you that leadership is the action of leading others or an organization. I feel like it is when someone steps up and goes into the unknown as well. It is also important to mention that it is never just one single person.

    I started this course with the belief that the leadership is a conventional concept that assumes a top-down, role-based view of leadership and that traditionally refers to how a one manages people and makes decisions. My understanding of leadership includes specific characteristics that leaders are regarded as having control and power, that leaders are followed because of personal loyalty to the position, not to the individual, and that power is conferred on the leader. In the traditional autocratic/ bureaucratic style of leadership, leaders make the decision and dictate work methods and process and followers are rarely trusted with decisions or important tasks. The decisions taken are in mostly accordance to the book of rules, and there is
