NURS FPX 4010 Assessment 1 Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video Communication strategy

Communication is one of the leadership’s best strategies that would improve the team’s ability to attain their goals. Elise Wang, the Director of Operations, acknowledges that they work in an environment that mandates collaboration and teamwork. The facility values a collaborative process. There is excellent communication between the management and care staff. Communication is an excellent source of satisfaction and motivation (Bridges et al., 2011). In this case, communication would encourage the members to add valuable input to attain set objectives (Nancarrow et al., 2013). The communication between Corporate and its affiliate was one way. The branch of Vila Health could not challenge the implementation of Healthix despite the incompatibility. Corporate Josh did not want to listen to the views and points made by the team. The execution failed because it was forced on the team.  

Respect and understanding 

Respecting and understanding the roles of each team member is vital in the achievement of goals and working together effectively (Weinberg et al., 2011). In the case of Vila Health, the Corporate interfered with its operations. It could not allow them to engage in their research and find the right system to fit the situation. The purchase of Healthix was a result of an ongoing relationship with the Corporate. There was a disrespect of IT staff who felt that the Corporate was forcing the project on them. The people on the ground should be given priority in the decision-making process since they are directly affected by the project (Weinberg et al., 2011). The care staff should have been trained on how the system works as opposed to delegating the process to the IT department. The duty of each team member should be able to fit in the set objectives (Bridges et al., 2011). Vila Health employees were concerned with the new system because they were not given enough time to interrogate its operability. Initially, the roles of each team member should have been made explicit. The interdisciplinary collaboration would have provided a platform for knowledge sharing and gaining among the members (Nancarrow et al., 2013). In the long run, there would be no or minimal complaints from the management and care staff.

Conclusion

The success and downfall of any given project depend on the leadership aspect. The current nursing leadership is moving towards non-traditional delivery that extends beyond the institutional structures. It necessitates inter-professional collaborative teams to attain the set objectives or goals. The decision-making and leading ought to be cooperative as opposed to a top-down approach. Nurse leaders should support, encourage, and recognize staff. The resources and guidance should also be part of nursing leadership.
