Respond to at least two other peers and compare and contrast what you learned about yourself with what others described. Provide relevant and appropriate feedback regarding the post and the learner’s ideas for further development.

• Describe how  this model will guide your human resources leadership role 

I took the leadership orientation assessment and learned that I have more of an initiating structure than a consideration structure. The initiating structure is described ad the extent that a leader is task oriented as well as how they direct their subordinates’ work towards achieving goals (Daft, 2018). I only scored one point lower in consideration. Consideration looks what the extent that a leader cares about their subordinates, establishes trust, and respects their ideas and feelings (Daft, 2018). I tend to lead on a sliding scale with both of these. If I am with a group that need more direction I will fall more to the initiating structure, where as if I am with a group that does not need as much direction and that needs a little more in terms of personal relationships I will fall more towards consideration.

• identify how this model can impact your influence skills with stakeholders outside of the human resources area. 

The leadership style assessment showed that I am equally task orientated and people oriented (Daft, 2018). I think that this will impact my influence skills with stake holders because I am able to adapt my leadership style based on the situation. I also think that this will impact my influence skills because it is suggested that a balance of concern for tasks and a concern for people is critical to have success in leadership long term. Stakeholders would be looking for someone that can be successful longer because it would not require them to spend as much money to replace leaders when they are no longer as effective.

Health care administration leaders face many challenges when executing decision making for day-to-day operations in their organizations. For example, consider how organization-wide initiatives, such as promoting patient and employee safety, represent overarching guidelines that a health care administration leader must ensure are thoroughly enforced. 

How might health care administration leaders determine what is best for their organization? What types of considerations might health care administrators take into account when enforcing organizational guidelines and practices?

For this Assignment, review the resources for this week and the “Case Study Assignment” document. Reflect on the issues presented in the Case Study assigned and consider how you might approach the case as a health care administration leader.

Individual Case Study Analysis (1–2 pages):

• Create an individual Case Study Analysis that includes: 
  • A summary of the facts associated with the case, including the primary leaders
  • A description of skills and traits of the primary leaders in this case

Discuss concrete strategies, including metrics and milestones, that can be used by the Department of Human Resources to add rigor in achieving this balance while meeting long-term corporate goals for the organization’s overall needs.
