Assignment: Personal Leadership Style

Utilizing the CSU-Global library, locate and read three scholarly research articles on the role of leadership in managing quality initiatives in healthcare. Select articles that demonstrate three unique styles of leadership (e.g., servant, transformational, and transactional).

Then write an essay that briefly summarizes the three articles and how they relate to healthcare leaders. Describe the leadership theory from one of your selected articles that most closely reflects your current (or future) leadership style and compare/contrast it to another style you have seen used (or read about) by leaders in healthcare settings from these articles. What would you change? What impact does this leadership style have on the healthcare environment? How would you go about changing or developing your leadership style?

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be 3-4 pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages.

• Be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.

• Provide full APA references for articles selected along with associated in-text citations. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these references.

• Utilize headings to organize the content in your work.
