What leadership skills and theories would facilitate collaboration with the interprofessional team and provide evidence-based, patient-centered care?

  1.  

There is a need for leadership between stakeholders to ensure that the best possible care is provided. There are two leadership skills that should be applied. The first skill is supporting co-governance and self-governance so that the stakeholders are encouraged to express their opinions with regards to their expectations. This allows them to point out areas that need improvement, particularly the features that relate to specific disciplines and stakeholder groups. The second skill is applying hierarchical governance that assigns clear authority and responsibility to individuals. In addition to the two skills, leaders should be effective change agents, self-aware, vision, innovation, self-regulation, team building, motivation, strategic planning, decisive, and have integrity. Besides that, they should apply situational leadership theory that requires the leader to always correspond the leadership style to the respective situation through evacuating the relevant variables such as the number of team members, nature of professionals and type of task (Arnold & Boggs, 2019).
