How will you build a team and establish values that everyone can engage with? Reply to Tom:

At the end of the day, the values of the people in the organization at Sunrise General Hospital must coincide with the values that the company sets forth. As a leader, it is truly important to be self-aware of the behaviors you are setting forth but also understanding how you are performing as a leader. It is important to be self-aware and realize how your actions are impacting the other people on your team and organization. Ensuring that the quality of care is provided, but at the same time making sure that all staff is engaged while promoting educational development and being cost-effective are key facets of senior leadership. From a values-based standpoint, it is important that the values your team follows include integrity, patient centricity, trust, and conflict resolution (Dye, 2017). If the company’s values are not met by the employees there must be a serious conversation on the future of the employee with the organization especially if that individual is representing the company in poor light or being dishonest. Some things that can help encourage team bonding is open lines of communication and leading by example. Doing team events or having team lunches is extremely beneficial for discussions and team interaction. It also helps people from different backgrounds connect and express who they are. Engagement is important and making everyone feel valued and heard is incredibly important. As a leader in my position, I host daily co-operative workshops for my team, as we are all virtual being able to work together and huddle up and answer real-time questions is extremely helpful with providing best practices and making sure that everyone is cared for. If the staff at sunrise can come together and bond but realize that everyone has the same goal and wants to benefit the organization, personal differences can be put aside for the mission and the overall success of the company.

This week’s discussion: Imagine that you are the new senior leader for the emergency department at Sunrise General Hospital. After three months on the job, you realize that your values and the values exhibited by your doctors and other professional staff are very different. How will you build a team and establish values that everyone can engage with?

A leader is most influential when his/her followers know what he stands for because followers are clear on whether they can relate to the leader’s ideas, values are established principles that guide behaviors and thoughts. (Dye, 2017). To establish values that everyone can engage with the leader, a leader must build an understanding of leadership that includes a sense of how their behavior influences the environment around them, (Dye, 2017). Values are different with every individual, but when it comes to the workplace all employees must follow the rules and procedures that have been put in place with a company or the managers.

As a leader, you have to find out what motivates each individual not everyone has the same motivation. It takes a little time but as you get to know your people it comes pretty quick and then you can set the stage for them seeing that the actions that you want them to take are going to complete what they hold valuable. This is a team effort, and everyone plays a part, but everyone needs to use their part effectively so that whatever is needed to be done collectively will accomplish the common goal. Many times, you will have people that will stray from their duties and they need to be reminded respectfully, the scope of their position. As a manager you have to oversee every aspect to be sure that your resources are being used adequately, when people stray and begin to do other things, they minimize the effectiveness of the resources.
