MHA 542 Wk 3 - Summative Assessment: Personal and
Professional Strategies Reflection
Navigating the challenges of leadership requires not only knowledge of the health care organizations and systems that impact decision-making, doing so effectively is a testament to your interpersonal effectiveness and ability to communicate with a wide range of personnel and managers who each have a stake in decisions.

What were some of the common themes in the strategies presented and discussed by your group?
If you were the leader of a health care facility, and you received each of these proposals from your staff, which would you be the most likely to implement, and why? What about least likely?
Part 2: Personal Strategies
Write a 350- to 525-word reflection on what you learned about your own communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution skills during your group project.
Include the following:
What areas do you feel you need to focus on to make yourself a stronger and more effective leader?

What organization do they work for?
What questions did you ask?
Did they know about the concepts of finding your true north, complexity leadership, and leadership purpose? If not, what do they think about it?
What did you learn in your interview?
What can you use immediately, and what complexity leadership strategies will you have to work on?

Traits of authentic leaders
Systems thinking, organizational dynamics, and governance in times of change
Qualities of innovative, engaging, and effective leaders
Communication and relationship management
