FEEDBACK: The qualities you identified are commendable and describe an outstanding leader. Citing sources that validate your claims that these are good leadership qualities strengthened your suggestions.
You did not explicitly tie the identified qualities to the Lakeland project. To do so, it would be necessary to connect the leadership qualities identified to diversity and inclusion and the clinic itself. Doing so would make it clear that they are appropriate and would be effective in addressing the identified needs of the community.
Compare one’s own leadership skills against those of a chosen health care leader.
FEEDBACK: You did not identify a known leader in healthcare and did not identify the leadership qualities of this leader.
You also need to clearly identify similarities with your own qualities with the specific qualities you describe and use specific examples or actions that illustrate these similarities.
Additionally identify differences between you and the leader and use specific examples or actions that illustrate these differences.
Using examples or actions from your own practice to illuminate the similarities and differences would strengthen this comparison.
Explain one’s role as project leader, using approaches from a selected leadership model.
FEEDBACK: Your choice of Transformational leadership style is a good choice. However, it is not clear how you would apply Transformational leadership to the team. Keep in mind that Lynette has specifically asked you to lead the Diversity Committee and share with her how you will actively facilitate team members collaboration.
Do not confuse leading the team with leading the clinic. Lynette has asked you to lead the TEAM.
The style of leadership you are embracing needs to be clearly identified, cited, and then integrated within your discussion of your role as team leader. To achieve this competency, you will need to:
1. Identify the leadership style (s) you are embracing
2. Provide a description and definition of these leadership styles and cite with a credible and scholarly source for each style.
3. Demonstrate the qualities of this leadership style as you describe your role as team leader and your vision for the creation of a diverse and inclusive workforce at Lakeland Clinic.
I encourage you to think more deeply on how you would enact Transformational leadership by providing examples.
For example, does a Transformational leader assign roles and responsibilities or collaborate with the team to decide how they will work together?
Sharing your vision of some of the potential solutions the team might work together on would also be helpful.
Note especially that your approach to the Diversity Committee team members should resonate with your description of how you wish to be as a Transformational leader.
Describe and apply to practice an approach to effectively facilitate collaboration among a professional team.
Lynette stated the following:
Lynette: “I want you to assemble a committee to clearly define the problem and ultimately provide guidance on solutions. Before introducing you to the clinic director and executive team, I want to review your approach specific to leadership style and collaboration.”
Lynette’s Directive: Describe your role and approach to leading the group. How will you lead and communicate? Will you be an authoritative, collaborative, democratic, Collaborative, or transformational type of leader? Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your approach in the context of this project.
FEEDBACK: You will need to be more specific about the Diversity Committee and the ways in which you will encourage team communication and collaboration. Keeping in mind that you are the leader of this team of 4-5 individuals (including one member of the community), what specific collaboration strategies will you use? Lynette wants to know if you can facilitate the team in their collaborative work (you are not expected to “run the show”, rather you are expected to facilitate team collaboration and shared decision making. See the point?
The charge from Lynette is for you to clearly outline how inter-professional collaboration will be fostered. She expects specific and clear methodologies to be identified and clarified. Being more intentional about how collaboration will be encouraged and supported would also be helpful. For example, how would a Transformational leader support and encourage team collaboration? What specific strategies would be helpful? Clearly and intentionally describing how the team will participate in collaboration exercises and strategies: for example, using team building experiential activities when meeting in person. Go beyond “naming” and describe the specific strategies you will use (for example, it is not enough to state you will have “shared decision making… or “team building activites”… what specific strategies will you use? how will you ensure this?_
In your revision, choose and describe at least TWO collaboration experiential strategies.

HERE’S add’l info that may assist you in revising this assignment.
You have a reasonable start to the letter and the opportunity to strengthen your understanding of your role as leader of a team addressing the diversity concerns of Lakeland Clinic. Your efforts are appreciated and reviewed for the purpose of supporting your development in both leadership and academic writing.
I have provided feedback and suggestions to help you to revisit some sections of the paper and encourage you to review the resources provided to help you succeed.
In order to achieve passing competencies, you need to revise any sections graded as “Basic or “Non-Performance”.
– Explicitly name the leadership qualities you have in common with a known healthcare leader and also note at at least one difference. Use specific examples or actions from your own practice that illustrate the similarities and differences. Note: YOU are leading the project… here you are simply comparing yourself to a leader to show Lynette what kind of leader you are.
-Beyond explicitly identifying the style of leadership you will use in your role, refer to these qualities as you describe the changes you are envisioning; most especially how you will demonstrate this style in your leadership of the small Diversity Committee of 4-5 members.
– Describe how you will explicitly facilitate team communication and collaboration. Keep in mind that you have been charged with Leading a designated TEAM… Lynette is specifically asking you to address how you will do that. Broad descriptions of your vision of the changes that need to be made in the clinic, while excellent, do not reflect how you will work with a small team and how you will facilitate communication and collaboration within that TEAM.
