Leadership and Motivation

The major issues that the hospital is confronted with are an unprofessional work environment as well as low motivation and inadequate management. The hospital did not notify the staff about the appointment of a new supervisor. Furthermore, there was not a formal introduction of the team or other colleagues within the organization. Additionally, there was no further information given about my department or my responsibilities, which suggests poor management. According to Akpoviroro and co. (2018) the introduction of a team member is crucial since it allows new employees to become familiar with their workplace as well as existing employees and their coworkers. This is crucial for the hospital because it cares for numerous patients.

In addition, the failure to welcome any new member of the team indicates that the management doesn’t consider the needs of. Also, it doesn’t generate enthusiasm, which can lead to low morale (Buchbinder and al. 2019). All of this leads to the team, however competent, in a position to not meet the standards of industry. There are several steps that will be crucial to achieve the goal of industrialization. To start, I’ll transform the workplace culture by enhancing communications within our department, and creating a plan to build an effective team. This is done by creating transparent communication channels, which includes prioritizing face-to face communication, ensuring the correct person receives information and in a timely manner, as well as ensuring that information flows through both directions, adhering to the facts and developing collaborative skills (Buchbinder and others. 2019). For instance, I’ll hold a meeting in which I will introduce myself , and let everyone introduce themselves.
