Organizational Systems and Quality Leadership

Organizational Systems and Quality Leadership

Introduction

Nursing leadership is a process that promotes the improvement of conditions health and life of the population, the achievement of care goals characteristic of the profession, and achieves the goals proposed in the health services. Therefore, it is a social, professional, organizational process. It promotes the social, professional and organizational. In the field of health and social care the presence of leadership is essential as the interdisciplinary teams require the guidance of an individual in order to accomplish their assigned objectives. The interdisciplinary teams are required in any healthcare project or organization that strives to attain communal excellence by providing evidence based services.

Nursing leadership development is considered necessary in interdisciplinary teams; as it leads to better-quality health care services and organizational change. As leadership development programs emerge across professions, staff developers must evaluate the effectiveness of these programs, which are designed to make a significant impact on leadership performance skills. The intent of stakeholders is to develop leaders who anticipate challenges produced by continuous, economic change. Shifts in global economic conditions associated with other social forces create a need for new leadership energy. As a result, programs designed to train the new leaders need reviewers to estimate the effect of training on performance skills. According to a study conducted on leadership efficiency in the healthcare setting, executives feel concerned when workforce performances did not meet expectations of organizational demands.

Discussion

Nurse leaders occupy strategic positions of authority in healthcare organizations and are challenged to exhibit demanding leadership skills. Recognition of the nurse manager's leadership role as influential to an organization's performance has led many executives to impose a shift in strategy, which is identified as shared governance. The shared leadership approach is one approach used to empower nurse managers and staffs at all levels and build confidence in the decision- making process (Clark, 2003, 49-57). At the same time, approaches to identify criterion-based leadership training as a powerful tool lacked consistency and usable measures to guide executives.

The concept of “systems theory suggests,” that the organization's culture was influenced by the leader, who in turn influenced the greater culture. Therefore, the time was accurately to determine if effective leaders developed improved skills because of leadership programs, as well as making use of the new skills in completing tasks, which in turn would provide a model for the staff to follow. Communities, businesses, and stake holder's demand services at levels that indicate the organization is equipped to deliver the best services.

Historically, leadership had changed “dramatically” and argued that what leaders do is determined in large part by nature and culture of the organization where they work. While leadership training existed, over time experience showed that leadership training for nurse managers had lagged behind their discipline-specific training. Along with this concept of motivating leaders, goes the need for educators to identify leadership characteristics and place emphasis equally on defining those leadership performance skills (Clark, 2003, 49-57).
