Module 2 – Case
ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOR, STRUCTURE, AND ASSESSMENT
Assignment Overview
Health care management requires leadership skills which will test your ability to make vital decisions.
“Like a rapidly mutating cancer cell, poor leadership within healthcare systems can cause toxic
symptoms that adversely impact organizational work cultures and staff satisfaction and lead to
burnout” (Werberg, 2010, para. 1). Assessments made by leadership have a direct relation to many
areas, including but not limited to the following: The quality of care provided, staff morale, and
organizational reputation. As a trailblazer of your organization, you will use effective leadership skills to
manage/avoid conflict, make effective recommendations, manage staff, and protect the overall
quality/efficiency of the organization. To make effective decisions as a leader you should identify the
major facts, indicate if or what problems exist, and finally, recommend a solution.
This assignment requires you to review a practical case study and analyze the elements of poor
leadership. The case study also explores characteristics of a health care leader while introducing
safety culture. Your assessment and responses to the realistic scenario should be based off leadership
attributes.
