Leadership, management, and team working in professional practice
Leadership is an important aspect of management which requires immense patience and
personality. There are certain willpower and desire that are necessary in order to make an
effective leadership practice. There are different processes which are like self-study, training,
experience, and education that are required to become an effective leadership practice. This
defines the process whereby there are influences brought down by an individual in achieving a
common goal. There are specific leadership styles that are needed to be adopted in the health
care sector which is different from the other sectors. This is because a health care sector faces
most of the emergency situation than other sectors. Therefore a clinical leader generally has the
ability to gain and augment the way of leadership and the management skills. There is a frequent
encounter of situations that a clinical leadership face in handling clinical emergencies. The essay
is generally based on leadership, management, and a team that is generally working in a health
care sector. These also further analyses on the qualities and the impact of a leader in order to
achieve the broader objectives.
There are certain qualities and impact of a leader within health care settings. In contemporary
hospital care, there are many areas that are developed but are generally confronted with specific
challenges. These are changing with the types of consumer expectation and of specific demands.
This also includes fiscal constraints and in the care demand that has increased at a high rate.
There are mandatory concerns related to patient-centered care and also with the concerns of
quality in health services (Hofler and Thomas, 2016). There is the Medical Leadership
Competency Framework which has been developed to develop and embrace the situation and
have a specific proficiency in the medical association. This is meant for giving professional
pieces of training to the health care professionals who are attached in such medical professions.
It also encounters in having clinical leadership training programs and providing education
(Knežević and Marinković, 2019).
There are different leadership programs which are associated in clinical leadership with the
nurses, doctors and all other members that are associated with the health care system. These have
been made with the similarity in the UK NHS leadership framework. NHS Leadership Academy
model vests its sole concentration on the leadership training. The priority focus of this model is
in ‘providing and justifying a clear sense of purpose and contribution.' The second aspect of the
model is ensuring that there are ‘sufficient motivations of teams and individuals so that they can

work effectively.' The third aspect of the model is vested in focusing on the improvement of the
system and its performances (Johnston et al. 2017).
It can be said that the NHS Leadership Academy model generally vests in justifying the sense
that is required in order to have a definite purpose and contribution. This is because without
proper identification of purposes the leadership cannot be defined and the action or style of
leadership cannot be identified properly. The next focus of the leadership academy model is
having sufficient motivations to the teams and also to individuals so that they can work
effectively. This is the most important aspect of the model because supplying motivation is one
of the big aspects of making the team effective in quality work (Blackman et al. 2015). This will
give those resources and extra energy in order to deal with situations as well as make proper
decisions in order to handle the ward in health care associations. The third aspect generally vests
its importance in focusing of improvement in the system and performances. This is because the
improvement in the performance of both health care system and the caregiver will have proper
and sufficient influence on the patients that are admitted (Sacco et al. 2015).
The reflection on the influences that communication, change, and conflict have on practice
decisions, and outcomes are a vital part of the leadership and management. To achieve a proper
decision-making approach communication system needs to be improved. Communication,
change, and conflict
have different influences on the practice decision and on the specific outcomes that are related to
each other. The behavior generally seeks to affect the types of communication done in an
organization. This generally seeks to influence directly on the internal culture and the work
environment (Tourangeau et al. 2016). A clear and a small communication at specific time can
prevent further conflict in any organizational setup. Effective teamwork is only possible, if there
is a specific and transparent communication of the team with the leaders. Therefore it can also be
said that effective communication will lead to proper decision making and yielding of successful
outcomes with the specific situation (Hossein and Somayeh, 2018).
I had watched different kinds of leadership when I was being placed in the ward by the ward
managers and the staffs of the ward as well. They were generally of Democratic leadership style.
The democratic style of leadership was being practiced by the ward managers and the other
senior staffs associated with patient care. This is because this is the best approach of leadership

style which provides an enhancement in the participation of the junior employees of the ward
and also helps in the process of decision making. Therefore I have learned a lot of insight and
knowledge through such leadership practices. It gave me the knowledge of decision making
when emergencies arose in the ward (Wilson et al. 2016). This is because the ward often
experiences emergency and sudden situations concerning the conditions of health in patients.
Therefore decision making is the most important thing that is to be learned to carry out the work
function clearly. Reflection can be said as the most important practice of personal development
by leading to specific self-awareness. This generally focuses on the improvement of the care
delivered to the patient. There are specific expansion and development of the special knowledge
in clinics and health that are also being associated with it (Smith et al. 2015).
According to the model of Driscoll Reflection, there are three things to be achieved. This is
generally emphasized on the overall promotion of reflection on the specific events. It also
aspects of the plan of changing actions of future use. According to the model, it can be said that I
had a proper experience in the clinical practice when I was placed in the ward. This gave me a
proper insight into handling the patient and its care system. On my second day in the ward as a
trainee, I noticed that a patient suddenly started shouting of pain. The pain was postoperative
pain, and the situation was becoming worse. I could not come of any help but just helped out the
seniors in caring for the patient. At the hit of the moment, I saw the way the ward manager
handled the situation with configuring and identifying the person and accumulating them to
assist the patient in such a way that the patient gets instant relief (Rushton et al. 2015).
The ward manager needs to decide on allocating career as wee as allocating the proper care
needed in order to relieve the patient instantly. The situation did help to understand the
emergencies of this job role as well as in managing the team of a career in order to relieve the
patient. I will not forget the situation as well as the training that I have received after being
placed in the ward. This is because it will help me to handle situations as well as manage and
lead a team in order to exaggerate the situation. The management, the collaboration of the senior
caregivers and the relief procedure added extra insight into the situations. The event was
professional and precious in the career line of a caregiver (Sabanciogullari and Dogan, 2015).
This has made me feel about the seriousness of my profession need for decision making to
handle the situations properly. This is because the pain was severe and if not handled properly
