LEADERSHIP FOR QUALITY EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY3
Part 1
Description
There has been witnessed an increasing value of organizational leadership, which serves
in highlighting safety actions related to forming cultural safety, acting responsive to patient in
healthcare organizations (HCOs). I was engaged as a shift supervisor in mental healthcare
hospital when I encountered critical incident of suicidal attempt by a patient, which eventually
intensified the organizational culture and staff behavior. As a staff leader, I expected staffs to act
proficient and come up with instantaneous resolutions to handle disaster happened in the
organizations. However, to my unexpectedness, I observed junior nurses rather than reassuring
other patients about their safety were showing severe apprehension and inability in handling the
crises. At this juncture, I observed discontentment and disapproval between junior staffs and unit
manager who cautioned them regarding their failure to maintain patients’ safety and counsel
them efficiently to realize their mental turmoil and failed to record the recovery of the patient.
However, while discussing the issue with unit manager and staffs of I applied authoritarian
leadership style. I immediately assigned staffs from other units and instructed them to supervise
the unit until I come up with strategic resolution to conciliate the crisis. This abrupt decision of
assigning staffs from other units as substitutes has been perceived as highly authoritative by
employees of the hospital. Instead of supervising the staffs during the crisis and directing them to
the right path, I changed the staff base of the particular unit to delve into the actual reason behind
the cause of crisis and risk factors which have resulted in failure of maintaining patient safety.
