A State Representative, Randy Richards, organized a press conference coveting to sway a proposal for a bill to a avert state agencies and other health care providers from offering prenatal care to undocumented immigrants and billing the cost to Medicaid (Sharp, 2011, p. 72). In the press conference, he accuses undocumented immigrants from coming to the United States to take advantage of the Medicaid system by taking services away from the American Citizens who pay into the system with their taxes. When the floor was opened to the press to ask question or to elaborate on the proposal for the bill his answer were very vague or he eluded the question by saying, “…That is not the point…” (Sharp, 2011, p. 72). The Executive Director of the Health Care Authority, Mike Foley, decides to hold a press conference later that day to clear the air with factual information and providing laws stating, health care cannot be denied to anyone in search of preventative or medical attention. He articulates prenatal care for illegal women cost less than a $1000.00 and when the child is born, they become a natural American Citizen and how they deny service to an American. If these preventative services were denied during the pregnancy and the child is born with a serious medical condition it will cost the state over $130,000.00 (Sharp, 2011, p. 73) to treat the child for the rest of their life. Randy Richards, the representative, became infuriated and took great offense that Mike Foley, the

Abstract: There are numerous definitions of leadership, all of which contain elements related to people (the leader and the follower(s)), communicating in person or by the written word, actions (organizing, directing, coaching, and/or motivating), and for a purpose (meeting a goal(s) or accomplishing a task(s)) (ADP 6-22) (Fisher 2015) (Bolden 2013) (Hogan 2005). Additionally, everything done occurs within a given context. Effective leaders are poised, proficient, pertinent, and practical in the application of the art of leadership. This means leaders are ready to engage the group with effective methods and
In the preface of Followership, the author Tom Atchison, states the reason there has to be a dynamic followership and Leadership role it 's not that there 's a lack of effective leadership in healthcare, it’s that the current, worsening, issues are the moral and the staffing shortages of followers which result in a toxic work environment and the challenges on how followers overcome that while being a productive team.
Leadership is a process of whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. No matter how much the world changes, society imposes incessant requests for capable, competent, and confident leaders as a necessity for social progression. There is a perpetual challenge for leaders at varied levels to seek a mentor. Have you ever wondered if the President or members of Congress have a mentor? Who are the mentors of influential church leaders comparable to Charles Swindoll, T.D. Jakes, or Pope Francis? Does the Chairman of the Board of the Federal Reserve System, Janet Yellen have a mentor? Who is Microsoft 's Bill Gates ' mentor? How do leaders respond as a follower? How do leaders at all levels interact with
I see building relationships as the key to great leadership. Success does not usually happen without the action and support of many people. I may achieve extraordinary things, but I cannot do it alone. Accomplishment is better when it is a team effort. I have had a great deal of support in my life. Without the help of coaches, teachers, my parents and God, I would not be where I am today as a soon-to-be high school graduate, an athlete preparing to attend College of Charleston or a Head Lifeguard at the City of Shenandoah

Organizational leadership builds on traditional theories in order to form new and exciting directions. Transactional leadership is a traditional theory, which has been used as a platform to understand leadership and further develop techniques for higher organizational performance. The three components of transactional leadership help shape and define the style, but are not always strictly adhered to. There are many advantages and disadvantages of transformational leadership. Knowing how and when to apply this style will prove useful for most successful organizational leaders. President Dwight Eisenhower was a good example of how transactional leadership could be used successfully.
This paper will highlight and reflect, on some of my nursing experiences working in the healthcare industry. However, I would like to state nurses in practice face a plethora of conflicts, ethical and moral stress. I reference more importantly ethical and moral stress, because each day a nurse clocks in to work, must diligently place duty and obligation as the driving force to care for patients. However, working within an organization, has many constraints that stem from policies and regulations, resulting in a system based on traditional values and beliefs. The systems found in the healthcare organizations are systems with departmental responsibility based on checks and balances that provides systems for responsibility and accountability. In observation and practice, I have discovered, that the systematic structures in place, are also necessary, to reinforce standards of care, quality assurance and safety of patient care. Any adverse conditions can result in costly fines and loss of licensure for the healthcare organization.

After reviewing the Relational Leadership Model, I knew right away that I felt most confident with the inclusive part of the model. I thought this was interesting because “empathy” was one of my top strengths is the survey we took last week. I think being empathetic and being inclusive connect because they both mean valuing other people’s thoughts. The reason why I feel most comfortable with the inclusive section of the model is because I feel that being open to different values and opinions is just a way of life for me. I could never imagine myself shutting down someone because I disagreed with their opinion. In fact, I think it is important to understand people with opposite beliefs because it allows me to understand the roots of their thought process and strengthens my own way of thinking. I know that keeping an open mind to new perspectives and ideas can only broaden my way of thinking and allow me to engage in learning new information even if I do not necessarily believe in it.
