Preparation for sustainability is critical in the health care industry. For an organization to be sustainable, leaders must think beyond their individual tenure in the organization and strategically develop succession plans to assure the sustainability of the organization, allowing the leader to move on and leave a legacy. To plan meaningfully, leaders must identify high-performers and challenge them to innovate, and they must develop under performers to acceptable levels of performance. Guidelines for mentoring may vary from person to person and organization to organization. Together, though, the deliberate mentoring of both over- and under-achieving performers assures that quality of care is continuously improving. In this assignment, you will propose a research-based succession and mentoring plan that creates a culture that allows the organization to function well with or without the current leader and allows all members to rise together passing along to the next generation gains in quality and safety and making the organization sustainable.

Directions:

Identify the role of an organizational leader in a heath care setting. This may be your current role or a desired role.

Create a research-based succession and mentoring plan (2,000-2,250 words) for the role you have identified. Include the following in your plan:

1. A brief overview of the role and setting for which the plan is being created. Be sure not to include information that would identify the organization.

2. A description of the succession plan for the cases in which the leader retires, resigns, or is forced to resign. How do the different cases alter the plan, if at all?

3. A description of the mentoring required for the succession plan described above to be effective. How are underperformers brought along and over-performers challenged?

4. A summary indicating how the plan will foster sustainability of the organization and its strides toward improved quality and safety.

Professional Development and Leadership in Health Care

Introduction

Leadership is the ability to lead others and guide their work, either in a formal or informal setting. It encompasses qualities that can be learned and developed through experience. Some of these qualities include being visionary, dedicated, strategic, optimistic, and creative. The program faculty infuse leadership skills into the curriculum through intentional planning. The program strives to produce future organizational leaders who are dedicated to improving health care quality and safety through their own personal development as well as by providing opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds (e.g., culturally) to learn about leadership skills that can be applied in health care settings.”

Leadership encompasses qualities that can be learned and developed through experience.

Leadership is not a trait that people are born with. It’s something that can be learned and developed through experience.

Leadership skills can be developed through education and experience, but leadership is also influenced by training, mentoring, and coaching.

Some of these qualities include being visionary, dedicated, strategic, optimistic, and creative.

• Visionary – Your vision is your overall goal, which will help guide you in the direction of achieving it.

• Dedicated – You understand that dedication to a cause or project is key to success and can have a positive impact on others around you.

• Strategic – You have thought about how you want to achieve your goals, which helps ensure that all parts of the plan are aligned with each other so that no part goes unnoticed or unfulfilled by others involved in the project/workplace/etcetera…

• Optimistic – Being optimistic means believing that things will work out as they should in spite of them not necessarily being “perfect” at first glance; this gives everyone involved confidence they can achieve their goals while making adjustments along the way if necessary!

Program faculty infuse leadership skills into the curriculum through intentional planning.

Whether you’re a student or faculty member, your training in leadership and management will help you learn how to lead others. Programs like this one are designed to bring together the best of both worlds: students who want to learn more about their profession, and faculty members with expertise in the field. This combination allows Program faculty members to infuse their expertise into the curriculum through intentional planning.

Faculty members are chosen for their expertise in the field of health care so that they can provide students with specific knowledge about what makes up effective leadership practice within organizations like hospitals or clinics; they also have a background in teaching leadership skills as well as facilitating learning through workshops on topics such as communication styles (e.g., influencing vs persuading), conflict resolution techniques (e.g., problem solving), managing change at work places etcetera…

The program strives to produce future organizational leaders who are dedicated to improving health care quality and safety.

Leadership is a skill that can be learned and developed. It is also a mindset, which many leaders already have in place, but others may not. The program strives to produce future organizational leaders who are dedicated to improving health care quality and safety through their leadership skills.

Leadership is about inspiring others to achieve goals by being role models for those around you, motivating them to do their best at work or school, setting examples of ethical behavior and professionalism in both personal interactions with patients/clients/colleagues as well as professional ones (e.g., interacting with regulatory officials), providing necessary support system for colleagues who need guidance during stressful times when things aren’t going smoothly on the job (e..g., dealing with challenging situations), etc…

Instructors consider themselves facilitators of learning rather than lecturers in command of a classroom.

Instructors consider themselves facilitators of learning rather than lecturers in command of a classroom. They seek to help students learn by providing guidance, support, and feedback.

In this sense, instructors are not simply teaching material; they are teaching skills that will enable students to become independent learners who can take responsibility for their own learning.

Classes engage students with a history of leadership in the health care field to share their knowledge and expertise.

You’ll learn from the experts.

This course is designed to provide students with a history of leadership in the health care field to share their knowledge and expertise. Students will engage with leaders who have been successful at leading organizations or teams, including case studies that illustrate the value of sharing experience, knowledge and mistakes.

Learn about leadership skills that can be applied in health care settings.

Leadership is a skill that can be learned, and it is useful in many settings. In this course, you will learn how to develop your leadership skills in the classroom and beyond.

Leadership skills are transferable across industries, which means they’re valuable whether you’re working in health care or not. The goal of this class is to help you understand how your own personal experiences can inform your professional development as an employee or manager in any workplace setting where there are strong leaders who make decisions based on their own values and preferences—not because someone told them what was best for everyone else!
