Effective Leadership Styles

Dear writer,
I am attaching the highlighted questions with some interactive information’s from the class. Please use APA 7th edition especially for references. It should be published within 5 years.
Thank you.

Purpose: The purpose of this discussion is to identify a practice problem and examine the material and human resources needed to support a fiscally responsible practice change solution to address the practice problem.

Professor’s instructions
discussion addresses the following course outcomes:

1. Compare and contrast theories of organizational behavior and leadership. (PO 6)
2. Investigate the role of advanced nursing practice in innovation and transformation to propose solutions impacting healthcare systems. (PO 6)
3. Differentiate attributes of effective leaders and followers in influencing healthcare. (PO 6)
4. Assimilate attributes for interprofessional collaboration across healthcare settings. (PO 8)
5. Formulate selected strategies for leadership and influence across healthcare systems.

Instructions
For this discussion, think of a problem in children mental health practice settings you have seen in your current or previous place of employment and address the following:

1. Investigate the material and human resources needed to support a fiscally responsible practice change solution to address the practice problem.
2. Analyze the role of the advanced practice nurse in addressing the solution.
3. Propose strategies for project leadership.

Use the writing CARE plan to organize the content of each paragraph purposefully

1. Central Idea- Topic sentence, main idea, the one exact and precise point you are making in this paragraph.
2. Authority- Evidence authorization that supports main idea, reference and citation, expertise of others, and example as evidence.
3. Relevance- Breakdown the main idea and evidence, analysis, synthesis and comparison of contrast.
4. Exit-Statement linking to the main idea and reflection of the importance of paragraphs, serves as summary/ conclusion
   Attaching the interactive sessions from the class below,
   Planning strategically and operationally to address the disease conditions identified as the eight National Practice Problems and how they impact a healthcare organization requires sound fiscal and human resources management. Leading from the future includes strategically preparing to care for those who will need specialized services.
   Human and Materials Resource Management
   It is important that DNP-prepared nurses understand the human capital required to apply an intervention in a practice change project. Stakeholders will include not only the affected population who are treated at the practice site but also those key individuals who bring the expertise to treat, manage, finance, and support the project (Dang & Dearholt, 2018). Responsible materials management requires you as a practice leader to ask questions about equipment, support services, supplies, and the necessary infrastructure to manage these assets. This may include interprofessional collaboration with key stakeholders from many different organizational departments, including materials management, finance, and maintenance. Clinical departments and human resources may also partner with you to determine the material requirements for clinical pathways and the additional expertise you may need to plan for disease management intervention.
   Strategic Planning for Effective Leadership
   Having an awareness of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) environment, many healthcare organizations re-invent themselves to specialize in specific disease areas for healthcare delivery, such as cardiovascular or cancer treatment. Planning for those specialty clinicians, equipment, and required licenses involves strategic planning that often looks ahead five years or further.
   Similar strategic planning may be required at a more granular or division-level scale. One approach for strategic planning involves the forward-looking creativity and flexibility of quantum leadership (Porter-O’Grady & Malloch, 2018), which focuses on future trends that engage innovative strategies to achieve potential future outcomes. Reflect on a specific GBD condition that may require you to take a quantum leap into the future to examine the resources that might be needed for an initiative in a practice setting.
   Financial Fidelity in Leadership
   The DNP-prepared nurse as a financial steward may be responsible for the budget. The DNP-prepared nurse often makes hard decisions about budgets that may affect personnel or patients. Effective managing of resources can be learned. With practice, you can learn to be proficient in resource allocation, even when managing resources to address a pandemic response or the burden of disease associated with the nation’s top causes of morbidity and mortality. Leaders have an ethical obligation to balance the health of the community and its resources.
   Balancing costs and improving quality do not have to be mutually exclusive. Spending more may not in itself improve quality or enhance safety. Being financially responsible in a value-driven market implies that the leader makes informed decisions that will improve patient outcomes and maintain a financially viable operation. One of the best assets most organizations have to assist nurse leaders in financial management is an accounting or finance support department. It is the DNP-prepared leader’s responsibility to leverage those assets to manage the financial environment. On any level, managing the GBD necessitates respect for and creativity about limited resources in a frugal healthcare economy.
   Evaluating Performance at the Micro, Meso, and Macrosystems Levels
   Evaluating the effectiveness of management methods, healthcare interventions, human performance, or practice change projects at any healthcare delivery level requires measurements to ensure that what you expect is what you inspect. Strategic plans are measured by operational outcomes to measure their effectiveness and determine if the strategic plan requires modification or reframing. Budgets and financial plans are measured by quarterly financial analyses to determine if they are on track, over budget, or under budget. Effective human resource and materials management are assessed against projected benchmarks and prior-year comparisons, among other indices.
   Practice change projects are usually measured by quantitative analysis, using methodologies adopted from research designs. While qualitative analysis is becoming more widespread, the most common measurements are quantitative methods, such a descriptive, pre-post measurement, and cohort comparison designs, all calculated for statistical significance. One important consideration for project planning is to ensure that your measurement design is planned in advance for the type of intervention you are undertaking and that the statistical model is determined before the project is initiated and the data is collected.

Leading from the future as a caring DNP-prepared nurse implies that you have an awareness that all you do is connected to the whole. In a globalized world, this realization takes on even more significance. Traditional boundaries are changing, if not disappearing altogether. Even political divides and social borders take on new meaning for the responsibility of leaders in healthcare.
