LEADERSHIP IN CLINICAL PRACTICE1
To whom it may concern,
This letter intends to examine the leadership style and provide constructive feedback.
An Autocratic leadership style is the one where a leader makes a clear decision
individually based on their ideas or judgement. Generally, this leadership style makes a
strategic decision and leader act responsible along with taking full power for making any
clinical decisions. Kate has used this leadership style in her practice. Kate was
communicating with Leone and suddenly found that a woman has just collapsed. According
to Kibbe (2019), autocratic leadership can make a decision very quickly and can manage the
situation even in the stressed or emergent environment. In addition to this, the leaders belong
from this category can command any instruction very clearly for efficient direction.
Therefore, Kate has done the same. She was clear with the direction and command as she
directed the patient along with her colleagues Leone and Jasmine. I also show tribute towards
Kate for immediate action towards delivering her duties. The major strength of autocratic
leadership style is it enhances the overall communication within a scenario or any given
situation, effective in handling any crisis or emergent situation, reduce or manage the stress
among peers or employees and thus, enhancing the productivity of team or organisation (De
Hoogh, Greer & Den Hartog, 2015). However, there are few limitations or drawback of this
leadership style, such as it creates dependency. Workers or staffs would rely on the leader
forever task or duties as this style of leaders would always lead and provides commands.
Another drawback is a lack of trust; this type of leaders directs, which means they do not hold
their staff accountable (Dyczkowska, 2018). Kate has done her job appropriately with this
leadership style. The major area of improvement for the nurse was to allow opinion from her
peer and co-worker. Besides, she should also communicate effectively with a detailed
explanation of the incidence.
