Introduction
Leading Change: Many changes in the healthcare system fail because leaders view change as an event rather than a process. Identify a change which yielded positive outcomes in your organization. Discuss the process of the change, and why it was successful.
Discussion
Assess Your Personal Reaction to Change: Leaders must continuously engage in new activities and thinking as part of change. Leading others is difficult if you do not embrace change yourself. Recent research found that leaders who do not embrace change increase their staffs’ resistance to it, and transformational leaders, who focus on creating a positive vision, lower their staffs’ resistance. People’s response to change varies /identify your own response. Do you believe you are a change proponent and why?
yes.. with change you and the organization grows mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
Recognize the Pace is Fast: Rapid change is the new norm. To adapt to change, a leader must consistently look ahead. You cannot remain stagnant and task oriented. The key to success is not to become ‘buried’ in fast change, but to rise above it by detecting what change is needed, and how it will successfully be implemented. What type of change do you believe is needed to make the most positive impact in healthcare today, and why?
We must restructure our K4-12th grade curriculum.
I believe we must confess our wrongdoing to our children teaching the next generation the right way to go. Keeping record of our faults and victories in our homes, schools and offices. Instilling core values into the next generation to become competent and equipped for all good deeds in every aspect in life.
Create a Network of Change Agents: Leaders must recognize informal followers and advocates of change are quite powerful in an organization. Leaders listen to what they have to say, and support them in helping drive the change. Who do you see as an informal follower that could support you in a positive change in your organization and why?
I believe someone like Jay z would be in influencing a change like this. He came from a chaotic backward and has matured into a success family and business man. He has the life experience and the platform that other leaders may require to even listen to the new school curriculum proposal.
Conclusion
In today’s accelerated healthcare environment, the ability to anticipate and actively lead change is essential for leaders in all areas (bedside, information services, case management, charge nurses, unit mangers and directors as well as senior leaders). Discuss (as a Christian Leader) how you lead change on a daily basis, and what change means to you.
Proverb 18 :21 states, “The tongue has the power of life and death”
I lead change by telling my idea’s to others and writing them down for others to see. I believe I have to bring my vision to life by talking about it to whoever will listen.
Change to me means life.
