Leadership Statement
Leadership Statement
Leadership to me is effective communication. In becoming the best leader I can be, leading by example with communication and being transparent with employees strengthen relationships and in hopes to increase productivity. Learning the preferred communication tools of your employees will be best received if it is something they are most comfortable with. Transformational Leadership is a theory that I believe is most effective. Connecting with staff members increases motivation and morality.
Transformational leadership is defined as a leadership approach that causes change in individuals and social systems. In its ideal form, it creates valuable and positive change in the followers with the end goal of developing followers into leaders. Enacted in its authentic form, transformational leadership enhances the motivation, morale and performance of followers through a variety of mechanisms. These include connecting the follower's sense of identity and self to the mission and the collective identity of the organization; being a role model for followers that inspires them; challenging followers to take greater ownership for their work, and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of followers, so the leader can align followers with tasks that optimize their performance

Performance Appraisal
Performance Appraisal
Communication + Attendance = Success
When an employee knows what is expected of them and they are shown ways to achieve the goals created by the organization, both parties' benefit. The communication between levels of employees is essential when creating positive productivity. This type of productivity can be communicated by monthly performance reviews and showing employees exactly what is expected of them. Performance reviews can be done by tracking the attendance of each employee, tracking the flow of clients/patients each month, and reflecting back to past months. Goals put into place by the organization as well as the employee will help production and satisfaction rates for everyone. Incentives can be agreed upon within each department as to what they would like to see. Incentives can include gift cards, luncheons, causal wear days, or potentially time off.
