Leadership Style and Group Collaboration 2 January 8, 2024 Lynette Lakeland Medical Center Good afternoon, Lynette. Thank you for the opportunity to discover my leadership Style and determine how my style will contribute to a successful group collaboration. I look forward to working with colleagues to improve the diversity issues within the organization, which will enhance patient and employee satisfaction. Your email informed me that the Lakeland Medical Center was established to help the community's needs. Still, we failed to hire team members who understood the cultural values of the community that we serve and how to handle diversity. Managing diversity successfully is known to increase job satisfaction, which helps with career advancement and decreasing turnover. (Jin, Lee & Lee, 2017) The committee leader in charge of tackling cultural diversity should have a transformational leadership style – which is collaborative. The leader helps the followers focus on values, ethics, and long-term goals while assessing motives and satisfying needs. They do this by inspiring and encouraging their follower's ideas. (Rubino, 2018) Rubino (2018, pg. 3) says that Healthcare leaders need to be “aware of their own biases, empathize by taking another’s perspective, show fairness and respect toward others, and have the courage to engage constructively in difficult conversations to help create and sustain organizational cultures that are inclusive.” These leaders create the organization's culture where workers see the benefits of serving diverse patients. (Rubino, 2018) Inclusive leaders motivate others by showing humility, requesting, sharing, and supporting authentic feedback (Schein, 2013).

Leadership Style and Group Collaboration 3 A leader who possesses the qualities described above is Allison Johnson, an AVP at Lakeland Regional Health. She leads all the medical managers. I would choose her to lead a group improving diversity within our organization. She has many of the qualities of a transformational leader. She leads the group by acknowledging her manager's strengths and encouraging and inspiring them to help make positive organizational changes. In each situation, she helps the manager focus on their values and emotions to achieve the organization's goals. In a group focused on bringing diversity to a healthcare clinic, she would help motivate the group by embracing its differences and challenging them to share their ideas. I believe I have many of these strengths. I am a collaborative leader. I encourage ideas from the collective, and the solution to the problem is a mixture of the group's ideas and brainstorming. In my current position, I inspire the team to do better by acknowledging their ideas and rewarding them for their successes. I am also very inclusive and like hearing the perspectives of all types of cultures. To establish a collaborative group to help with the diversity issue, I would first find team members with all types of perspectives. These team members must be different but also open to change and learning a new way of thinking and doing. As the group leader, I would encourage this team to write out all their ideas to improve diversity. Then we can pull these ideas together to create a plan that we all believe can change how the clinic is run so that it is inclusive to the diverse community and workforce. As a transformative leader, collaboration is one of my main attributes. I look forward to establishing this team and working together to create a plan. We can solve the diversity issue by determining the community's culture and needs. Our diverse group that is open to change will be
