MAIN BODY
To pursue all the task in the health profession of the doctor, they must have to perform
different task to monitor the health of the patients. In this health profession different teams
perform the differer tasks and they have their responsibility as according to their skill and
qualification (Rosenbach, 2018).
For accomplishment of all the task by doctors, they have cross functional team, these are
those team, which consist of different skill, qualification and knowledge people. And help to
perform the task. In the health care, cross functional team made up of nurses, doctors, physicians,
technicians, therapist and many more who does their job in their specific area and help to
monitor the patients and take of them in order to teat them.
Leadership in the health care, is the art of the nurse through which they influence other
team member in order to get work done in minimum time to take care of their patients. For
example nurse motivate their other new joining employee in the hospital that can do any work
and teach them how to perform their duty in the hospital. As the health care is very delegate
profession in which any mistake of the employee can spoil the life of the patient. So doctors have
to be very careful regarding their leadership to motivate and give guidance to other (Western,
2019).

For the doctors, in health care teams are the group of members which have different
duties in order to do work and task effectively. Team of the nurses consists of nurses, dietitians,
physicians, pathologist and many more who together work as a team by having good
understanding of their job role and perform the task.
To manage a team effectively doctors must have some skills and knowledge to manage
their team that help them to be successful in their career and make them effective leader. As the
nurses must have to trust their team and the members, lack of trust decrease the ability of the
team members, have to maintain the prefect balance in the team to manage them (Bambrick-
Santoyo, 2018). To manage a team effectively nurse must recognise the work of their team and
the achievement of the team. They pay the attention to their team work and recognise their
achievement and failure. Doctors must invest their important time in order to know their team
members, and to make efforts to support them if they have any problem. Doctors must have the
time to know their team members, so they can ave all the information about their team members.
So that doctor can effectively lead their team and it is easy for them to influence them in order to
handle any special case or the patients.
According to Barr and Dowding, (2019) being a team leader, doctor must have to
maintain the clear and informal communication with their team so it help to make relation with
them. I help to motivate their team members like the nurses, physicians, pathologist, and any
other team that help the doctor in their cases and to treat patients and also help to accomplish al
the task.
Johnsson, (2018) stated that, there are various elements of the functional team that help to
Doctor in their health profession to make their team as effective team as compared to the others.
These elements are that team members must have to trust each others, as they must have to
respect each others views, and trust each other in any doing of work. This help to create strong
relation with their team. As it also helps to support each others to handle any case.
According to the Shields, (2018) other element of the team is that team member of a
doctor must engage in their work and actively participate in their work and actively participate in
the discussion and to make strategies and plan to complete the task. This active participation and
engagement in the work and any discussion help their team member that they will have the
knowledge and detailed information about their work and case. So they can willingly help to
handle case and treat the patients. As they can not denied to treat any patients and to give health

care but it necessary to have detailed report about the patients. Another element of the function
team of is the result oriented as the main aim to treat their patient the best level and give them
best treatment and medication to them to get them well.
Organisational culture is the set of values and behaviour of the employees and member of
the organisation. It also consist of organisation's expectations, experiences and philosophy and
on the basis of these values employees are work in the organisation. Organisational culture affect
the team leading and the working condition of the organisation. As if there is no experienced
employee in the organisation, it affect the hospital working condition as they do not get guidance
from any employee and this affect the whole work of the doctor, and can not operate and treat
any patient effectively, and this can be harmful for the doctor and his hospital.
Organisational culture also affect positively to the work of the team and also the
leadership style of the leader. If there is experienced, skilled employees in the hospital, and have
set values and standards and norms on which they operate. This helpful for the doctors to apply
different leadership style according to situation in the hospital. This help to lead their team
effectively and to understand the job role of the an in the decision making to handle and to treat
patients.
Trust and respect in the team play vital and important role in the team and the leadership
of the leaders. As if the team member do not respect each other this will create conflicts in the
team and the task will not be get done on time and effectively. This trust in the team and on the
team members by the leader, play important role. As if the leader or Doctor in the hospital and
their clinic do not trust on their team member they, then they do not accomplish the task and
work to treat people effectively and not get help from the members (Arnold and et.al., 2018).
This respect and trust help the team leader as they help to increase the moral of the team
member in order to do any kind of work. And motivate them to handle the hospital or the clinic
in the absence of them. If the team member respect each other's view and ideas to then it help
them to build strong relation in the team and build the trust as well as they can handle any work
and case and the patient to treat them effectively as absence of the doctor. This help to increase
the productivity of the team in the hospital.
Effective communication and the knowledge sharing among the team member increase
the team productivity and the trust in the team. Wit the help of the effective communication,
team member can build the strong relation in order to get their work done. This communication

also help to leader as doctor that they can easily get to know their ideas, views, and any problem
if they have regarding the leader, working condition and the organisation, so leader can help
them easily.
Knowledge sharing also play important role in the health profession for the doctor as the
complete knowledge about their team member help the doctor to make effective decision for the
team member s and help to allot works according to their skills and knowledge. This haring of
the knowledge help to know details knowledge about the patients and with doctor can team them
and can send them according to their illness which, specialist needed by patients. And also help
to increase the knowledge and skill of the other member as well. Knowledge sharing also help to
leaders as they effectively direct and guide their team after having such detailed report and
information (Lehmann-Willenbrock and et.al., 2018).
Cooperation and the accountability play important role for the doctors in the their health
profession. Cooperation refer to the support and working together with team in order to get the
common target for the organisation. This cooperation help to increase work efficiency of the
employees as the pathologist, physicians and the nurses. As if all the team member and support
each other, by managing time of the patients handling. This increase the working efficiency as
they get the enough time for their work.
Accountability also help to increasing the productivity and the effective working of the
team members. As the accountability refers to the taking responsibility and to handle all kind of
work. This help the leaders that they can easily give them responsibility to handle their clinic and
hospital. This also help to increase the effectiveness of the whole team as the do not get afraid of
the any kind of responsibility. Accountability must have in all the members of the team so that
leader can be tension free from the responsibility and can focus on the major task and case
patients (Roehrich and et.al., 2018).
There are some factors that affect the working of a team and also help to leaders to make
success in their health care profession. These factors are innovation and creativity of handling
the work. Cultivate capabilities, focus on the results and grow relation with the team members
and the, set the cl;ear direction and this direction help the employees to get better understanding
of the work and job so that they can effectively complete their work on time. In this strategic
planning, critical thinking, communication skill of a leader help to handle different patients and

the investors and suppliers of the hospital so that they can provide the best treatment with beast
instruments to their patients.
Diversity in the team helps the leaders to get better understanding with different aspects.
Diversity refers to the different kind of the humans such as gender, social class and age and etc.
this help the doctor and the patients to understand the clear issue of the problem. For example a
woman patients will clearly define their issues to the lady nurse. This help the doctor to better
understanding of the problem f the patient (Frankel and PGCMS, 2019).
