Describe a recently encountered health reform, care delivery re-design, or other clinical practice scenario that required strong leadership. What early/traditional/classic or contemporary leadership theory did the leader demonstrate and why.  What effect did it have on the followers (or potential effect)?

Module 1: Week 1 Introduction

Overview

Leadership can be contextualized in many ways within the interdisciplinary healthcare system. Early/classic and modern leadership theories will be explored.  You will apply leadership theories to contemporary scenarios.

Learning Outcomes

• Compare early/classic leadership approaches (trait, skill, great-man, situational) with modern (transformational, authentic, adaptive, innovative, appreciative inquiry, chaos, and complexity science) approaches. Interpret leadership qualities exemplified in leaders you work with.
• Reflect upon changes occurring in refining health reform, advancing health transformation and care delivery re-design that require strong leadership.
