The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate how the principles and theories addressed in the course thus far, transfer into leadership in the’real world’.. Using an interview with a healthcare system leader, students will do a case study on the leadership style of an individual. They will then relate and compare their findings to an applicable model of leadership given in academic literature. In addition, they prepare a paper summarizing the information they obtained from the interviews.
Preparation:
You’ll need to set up an interview with a health care professional in a leadership position. For example, you can set up an appointment with someone you’ve never met before who works for a different organization than the one in which you’re employed (e.g. an imaging manager or chief medical technologist). You can also arrange an interview with a mental health services team leader or director of operations (this can help build your network of contacts and enables you to meet people working in areas of health that you might not be familiar with).
If at all possible, the interview should take place in person, over the phone, or in a virtual conference room.
You are in charge of making all the arrangements for the interview, including the time, location, and questions to be asked.

If your interviewee requests that you remove their name from your written report, you can do so.
A case study is required for this assignment. The subject of your case study will be the leadership style of a person. When conducting your case study, you’ll need to talk to anyone in charge of health care administration to learn about their leadership style, abilities, attitudes, and values (s). Afterwards, you’ll compare your findings to academic literature that outlines a theory or model of the leadership style or type that you found in your case study and explore what content from your interview was most relevant to your understanding of leadership.
