Prepare the Next Best Boss
No full textDo you ever wonder why your best manager inspired you while your worst manager drove you away? The quality of their leadership made the difference. Effective leaders have a positive impact on organizations because their employees stay longer, come to work energized, remain focused on goals, have less conflict, and provide better customer service. Additionally, people working with an effective leader tend to have better work-life balance, experience less stress, and feel better about themselves and their work
The Impact of Transformational Leadership on Leader Emotional Exhaustion and Patient Safety Culture: A Quantitative Study Devoted to Enhancing U.S. Healthcare Leaders
No full textThe United States (U.S.) healthcare system faces significant challenges, including high costs and disparities in access and quality of care. These issues were exacerbated by the COVID- 19 pandemic, which strained resources and staffing. Healthcare leaders must navigate the complexities of delivering care, managing costs, and ensuring high-quality, equitable healthcare services. Their role is crucial in transforming the healthcare system, driving change, and implementing innovations to enhance its effectiveness and efficiency. Equipping healthcare leaders with transformational leadership skills allows them to foster a culture of collaboration by inspiring and motivating teams to embrace change. This quantitative study aimed to (a) assess the level of transformational leadership skills among current U.S. healthcare leaders, (b) evaluate their level of emotional exhaustion, and (c) examine how this impacts patient safety culture.
United States healthcare leaders were recruited via a crowdsourcing vendor to distribute surveys examining demographic information, transformational leadership skills, emotional exhaustion, and safety culture scores. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 437 healthcare leaders across the U.S., using validated instruments including the Global Transformational Leadership Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Emotional Exhaustion subscale), and the AHRQ’s Survey on Patient Safety Culture (SOPS). The results revealed that transformational leadership was a significant predictor of both emotional exhaustion and patient safety culture. Leaders who demonstrated higher transformational leadership behaviors reported greater emotional exhaustion (r = 0.64, p \u3c .01), suggesting a potential cost to their well-being. However, transformational leadership was also strongly associated with improved patient safety culture (r = 0.66, p \u3c .01). Emotional exhaustion itself was positively associated with patient safety culture scores (r = 0.59, p \u3c .01), indicating a complex interplay between leadership engagement, emotional exhaustion, and safety culture.
These findings highlight the dual-edged nature of transformational leadership in healthcare: while it enhances patient safety culture, it may also increase emotional strain on leaders. The study underscores the need for healthcare organizations to invest in leadership development and wellness strategies that support both effective leadership and leader well-being. By doing so, organizations can foster a sustainable leadership culture that promotes both staff resilience and high-quality patient care
The Impact of Instructional School Design: The 6–12 School Model as a Strategic Response to Increase Black Boys Self-Efficacy
No full textThis dissertation investigated the impact of the 6–12 instructional school design on the self-efficacy of Black boys, utilizing the theoretical frameworks of Bandura\u27s self-efficacy model and Yosso\u27s community cultural wealth model. The research explored how this specialized school structure supports Black boys\u27 academic achievement, aspirations, and resilience—addressing longstanding disparities in educational and social outcomes. Through qualitative interviews with Black male alumni of 6–12 school models, the study identified factors within the design that positively influence self-efficacy both within and beyond the classroom. Findings indicated that sustained relationships with supportive teachers, a keen sense of brotherhood among peers, and consistent engagement with families and communities contributed to a heightened belief in their ability to succeed. Alumni described affirming school environments, mentorship, and culturally responsive practices as essential to reinforcing their academic confidence and postsecondary readiness. Additionally, the 6–12 model nurtured forms of community cultural wealth—including aspirational, familial, and resistance capital—that helped participants navigate challenges and pursue long-term goals with clarity and confidence. This research addresses a gap in the literature concerning the intersection of instructional design and self-efficacy for Black boys. The findings offer practical insights into policy, leadership, and instructional practices that aim to foster equity and excellence in education. More broadly, the study contributes to advancing strategies that disrupt systemic inequities and center the lived experiences of Black boys in shaping pathways to success
