Leadership Priciples

This text provides a high-level definition of leadership. It also differentiates between management and leadership. Interestingly, the author posits that the evolution of a managerial role may not develop into a leadership role. You will examine the theories of servant leadership, transformational leadership, collaboration/meta leadership theory, and shared leadership.

Collaboration/Meta Leadership Theory

Collaborative/Meta leadership involves communicating information to coworkers and associated organizations to allow them to make their own informed decisions. This approach creates strategies that enhance dialogue between multiple stakeholders, the sharing of knowledge and experience and the overall simplification of the healthcare organization structure. Of course, levels of responsibility will prevail and need to be engaged with this leadership process, but the overall engagement at every level will lead to quicker adaptiveness and agility with the ever-changing demands of the healthcare organization. This meta leadership requires a work environment in which varying levels of the organization are encouraged to work collaboratively toward the implementation of effective practices with the patient in mind. Through this collaboration diverse thought, each stakeholder will be in lockstep with the shared vision and goals and work to build synergies through motivation.
