- Leading organizations requires understanding how departments operate and relate to each other.
- Flexibility in organizational structures is essential for a successful fit in local contexts.
- Clinical leaders must be aware of different power sources and how to use them effectively in shaping and changing organizational culture.
- The key organizational resource is its people, and continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for effectiveness.
Introduction
- Leading organizations requires understanding how departments interact with each other.
- Organizational structures must adapt to local contexts for optimal performance.
- Clinical leaders must be aware of varying sources of power and utilize the most appropriate forms in operational contexts.
- Organizational culture is shaped and changed by leadership.
- Staff and professional development are crucial resources for organizational effectiveness.
Organizational Performance & Change Model
- The model explains how organizational components interact during change.
- It displays the hierarchical flow of influence among factors within an organization.
- This model is based on the "open systems theory," signifying that change is influenced by external factors.
- The model can be used for diagnosing organizational issues and creating action plans for changes.
- The model has 12 dimensions and focuses on variables at different levels (total system, local work units, and individual).
External Environment
- External influences impact organizational processes.
- These include government regulations, political priorities, economic constraints, consumer behavior, customer satisfaction, and media.
Transformational Factors
- These factors, such as leadership, mission, and strategy, are influenced by external events.
- Transformational factors strongly influence organizational characteristics.
- Leadership provides direction through vision, motivation, and role modeling.
- Mission and strategy describe the organization's purpose and processes.
- Organizational culture encompasses norms, beliefs, and values that dictate organizational behavior.
Transactional Factors
- These factors represent the day-to-day operations of the organization.
- Management practices (activities, behaviors, decision-making) shape the operational mechanisms.
- Organizational structure, including hierarchy and departmental arrangements, are critical aspects.
- Systems (policies, procedures) support numerous internal organization functions (financial, HR, production, marketing, etc.)
- Work unit climate encompasses the employee work environment and relationships.
- Employee motivation is essential for performance.
- Job tasks, individual skills, and employee needs are crucial for matching work demands to employee capabilities.
Leadership
- Clinical leaders ensure efficient and effective resource utilization.
- Allocative efficiency means avoiding wasted funding on services with minimal health impact.
- Technical efficiency means using the minimal resources required to achieve desired outcomes.
- Leaders influence health professionals' decisions to ensure the consistent application of best practices (evidence-based practice).
Vision, Mission, and Strategy
- Leaders ensure consistency between vision and strategy for organizational objectives, and effective implementation.
- Strategies address different organizational questions over various periods.
- Vision guides organizational direction and long-term aspirations.
- Mission describes the purpose of the organization and its aims.
- Strategy illustrates the practical actions for goal achievement.
Organizational Culture
- Culture is a shared set of norms, ideas, and symbols that guide organizational behavior.
- Cultural elements evolve within groups and create the social glue for organizations.
- Diverse subcultures, such as those built on ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, or job roles, influence the organizational culture.
- Understanding organizational culture is essential for effective clinical leadership, effective recruitment, and higher employee retention rates.
Management Practices
- This section illustrates how managers behave on a daily basis to implement organizational goals.
- Organizational behavior is shaped by relationships among various groups, including healthcare practitioners (HCPs) and patients, and other organizational entities.
- Leaders manage tensions between different power centers and individuals (e.g., clinicians, administrators, and financial officers).
Power
- Power in organizations designates the influence individuals have over others.
- Types of power include reward (extrinsic and intrinsic), coercive, legitimate, process, information, and expert power.
- Effective leaders understand the different types of power and exercise them appropriately.
Systems
- Systems are the policies and procedures that underpin the achievement of organizational goals.
- Resources allocation, personnel records, and human resource (HR) management policies are essential aspects of organization systems.
- Staff, as a key organizational asset, requires the investment of clinical leaders.
Organizational Icebergs
- In reality, organizations have formal and informal parts.
- Formal aspects are based on policies, organizational charts, and procedures.
- Informal aspects relate to organizational culture and values, experiences, relationships, feelings, and power.
Climate
- Climate refers to shared perceptions that work unit members hold about organizational policies, procedures, and practices in their work environment.
- Shared perceptions regarding work environment aspects can be grouped into aspects like service climate or safety climate.
Motivation
- Motivation energizes behavior and encompasses factors that maintain and control behavior.
- Motivate employees through fulfilling their needs and expectations will increase productivity and output.
- Motivated staff constantly seek ways to improve workflow.
- Four factors underpin motivation: internal needs, cognition (fulfilling expectations), emotions and behavior, and externally driven motivation.
Leading Organizations Successfully
- Effective organizational leadership focuses on extracting the best from individuals to maximize team effectiveness.
Organizational Change and Development
- Organizational change impacts tasks, procedures, and staff.
- Important changes often challenge how staff approaches organizational endeavors.
Three Schools of Change
- Planned change involves a proactive, step-by-step approach beginning with analysis, creating a change agenda, formulating an action plan, and establishing an implementation program.
- Unplanned change occurs unexpectedly and demands swift adjustment to organizational shifts.
- Emergent change is characterized by ongoing adaptation to evolving needs and conditions.
Spontaneous Change
- Change leaders prioritize relationships between organizational elements by emphasizing behavior over analysis.
- Spontaneous change encourages participation in and support of organizational change.
Different Contexts for Change
- Known change utilizes clear cause and effect links between phenomena.
- Knowable change involves less defined elements and interactions, requiring research and fact-finding methods.
- Complex change involves patterns that can be observed but not consistently categorized or anticipated.
- Chaotic elements are characterized by high complexity and uncertainty.
Behaviours When Leading Change
- Leaders caring for staff and focusing on simple solutions are effective in guiding change initiatives.
- Constructive conversations help people understand the changes more easily and are therefore less resistant.
- Leaders exhibiting integrity rather than heroics will have a greater impact on leading change.
Lewin's Three-Stage Model of Change
- Lewin’s three-stage model involves unfreezing, changing, and refreezing to implement new changes.
Resistance to Change
- Staff resist both individual aspects and the broader organizational structures of organizational changes.
- The causes of resistance to change include habit, selective information processing, fear of the unknown, economic factors, and security concerns.
- Resistance to change often stems from established power relationships or limited focus on change.
Additional Factors
- Staff resistance often stems from phrases like "we've tried that before,” "It won't work,” or "No one else does it like that."
- Other resistance-related reasons include staff concerns about affordability, time constraints, and fear of conflict.
Managing Resistance to Change
- Clear communication and emphasizing the positive outcomes of change can help staff adapt to organizational shifts.
- Actively engaging employees with the transition process will allow them to understand and support the changes better.
Change Will NOT Come...
- Successful organizational change usually requires effort to actively participate in the process.
- Leaders and staff must be willing to embrace and implement change fully.
How Can This Be Achieved
- The successful implementation of change often relies on committed and concerned individuals. This is often the driving force for change.
Patients Will Never Care...
- Maintaining a caring attitude in challenging settings is often critical to achieving results, and patient care is a significant motivating influence.
