Theories of leadership can help health care administrators become effective organizational leaders. It is important to keep in mind, however, that leadership is situational. As such, no single theory should be applied to every situation that arises. Instead, the most effective leaders are able to read situations and apply the theory that is most appropriate for the given challenge and employees involved. For this Discussion, you select two contemporary theories of leadership and examine potential challenges of applying them in the health care environment.
To prepare for this Discussion:
- Review this week’s Learning Resources. Select two contemporary theories of leadership that are relevant to the demands of the complex healthcare environment.
- Identify specific health care organization challenges where these theories can be applied. How do these leadership theories offer approaches to overcome these challenges
Post a cohesive response to the following:
Describe the two contemporary theories of leadership you selected. Analyze health care organization challenges where these theories can be applied. Recommend strategies to overcome these challenges. Defend or argue your recommendations.
Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.
