Running Head: Leadership and strategySection AQuestion 1- Leadership and its approachesLeadership is very significant part of the management of the hospitals and any other organizations. Leadership is a very crucial process as it involves the communication between the leader and the other staff to motivate them to work hard to achieve the organizational goals. According to many scholars, the leadership is defined as the ability to provide the direction to theteam towards the future goals and objectives and build some strategies to manage all the activities in the organization. However, it is also explained as the process that involves planning, organizing, controlling and directing. Moreover, the leadership is to perform the actions by the individuals or the group as per the instructions or guidelines of the leader. There are many authors and researchers who gave different meanings of the leadership. The most important thingabout the leadership is that it has the power to bring a huge change in the organization. There are two types of the leadership- one is formal and the second one is informal. A leadership is said to be formal, when the managers of the hospitals, states its powers and in the framework of legal approval by the hospitals. An informal leadership is defined when the staff member itself motivates the other person [ CITATION Jon11 \l 1033 ].Leader’s ProfileMrs. Tracey burn is the Chief executive director of the Nursing Department of the King edger Hospitals.

As an executive director of the nursing, she used to make plans and control the discharge process at the hospital. Despite of this, Burns also conducts meetings and adjust the 2

Some of the leadership responsibilities performed by the Burns are motivation to the staff, direction, controlling and evaluation of the staff as well as to improve the process of admissions and discharge in the case of Accident and emergency (A & E) wards.Transformational approach of leadershipThere are many approaches of the leadership. After analyzing the case study, it is found that transformational leadership is the most appropriate theory applied to the leader’s role, achievements and their nature. The main focus of this approach is to motivate, guide and directedits followers towards the goals of the company [ CITATION Sha133 \l 1033 ]. Talking about the main goal of the Edger hospital, then it is the improvement of the discharge process at the hospital. The problems faced by the patients are many like placing of the patients in the wrong beds, delays in the discharge, increasing length of stay of the patients, high cost of admission, and increased number of complaints by the patients. As after knowing these problems, Rodger Andrew who is the Chief executive officer of the hospital decided to give the opportunity to the burn to handle all these problems and lead in every department. She makes use of the transformational approach by emphasizing on the employee’s commitment towards the main goals. In the literature review, it has been seen that transformational leadership is defined as the empowerment of the others members to make them busy and work together to achieve the goals for the preferred future. In the review of the literature, the researcher Russell and Swansburg revealed the four main aspects of the transformational approach of the leadership. These four 3
Running Head: Leadership and strategyelements or components are- Management of attention, trust management, management of the meaning and self. In the trust management, the decisions made by the leaders are based on the equality, honesty and fairness. All these decisions made by the leader will be respected, followed and implementedby the staff nurses as well as the staff of the A & E department. Also the judgement given by the burn is consistent and sound. The management of the attention can be achieved by focusing on the vision, goals and outcomes. As a leader, you know the skills of the staff members and utilizing their skills in an effective way demonstrates the meaning of the self. Every health organization or national health system (NHS) will be based on how it serves the community and how it is performed to achieve the vision and mission of the company [ CITATION Gos03 \l 1033 ]. Talking more about the leadership approach, the leaders continue to gain the management as well as the leadership skills to face the problems and make a strategic planning to solve and control the problematic situation. The management of meaning refers to the staff encouragement towards the commitment with the help of communication strategies and builds a strong culture by conducting meetings, group discussions where the creativity and the innovation of the other staff members are highly appreciated. Similarly, the Burn used to conduct the meetings and workshops with the staff members to improve the discharge process at the hospital. These meetings and workshops are valuable for the staff to direct them towards their commitments. Moving further, Russell and Roussel focused on the fact that in transformational approach of the leadership, it is very important that organization and the personnel will benefit from the achievement of the goals and all these fulfillment of the goals is achieved by encouraging and empowering the staff nurses as well as the other members of the hospital to trust their leaders and keep some vision in their minds about the organization. It has been analyzed that the 4
Running Head: Leadership and strategytransformational leadership can be experienced better in the health care organizations and in the emergency department as those are some of the situations that are unstable and changing very rapidly. The reason is that leaders like Burn will encourage the employee’s needs and thoughts and also able to acknowledge the uncertainty and be flexible accordingly. In his approach, the best way of motivating and empowering the employees of the hospitals is to appreciate their views and involve them into the decision making process which make them feel important part of the organization and part of the vision of the organization as well [ CITATION KAb11 \l 1033 ]. Apart from this approach, there many other leadership styles like Transactional, autocratic, participative and Laissez Faire. Transactional approach: - This is the second approach of the leadership that focus more on the exchange of rewards and targets between the employee and the organization. According to this approach, the staff members can be motivated by giving them rewards for their efficient performance. This approach is mainly focused on the completion of the tasks and rewards. This approach is not that much used by the Burn in this case study, but she is thinking to give these type of rewards in the future period of time. Laissez-Faire: - As this approach of leadership puts low emphasis on performance and people. This style is not good for the situations where employees need supervision to work so it reduces the productivity of employees and doesn’t provide good results. 5
