Leadership Styles Series – Tailored for Healthcare!

by Noor Ul Ain Janjua Zaidi, RHIT

Are you ready to elevate your leadership game in healthcare?

 "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." —John Quincy Adams 

OHIMA is excited to present our new **Leadership Styles Series**, designed to help current and aspiring leaders in the healthcare industry understand and apply the most effective leadership strategies.

Healthcare leadership is not just about the daily grind. It is about motivating staff, tackling tough problems, and ensuring patients receive the best care possible. Successful healthcare leaders need a mix of medical knowledge and management skills, and they must stay on top of innovative technology and rules.

This series will explore a range of leadership styles, including but not limited to:

Transformational Leadership
Authoritarian Leadership
Servant Leadership
Transactional Leadership
Democratic Leadership
Charismatic Leadership
Bureaucratic Leadership

We will focus on how each style influences team performance, decision-making, and patient care in healthcare settings. Whether you are managing clinical staff, leading administrative teams, or navigating strategic challenges, this series will provide you with the tools and insights you need to succeed.

In the upcoming series, we will explore Dr. Edward de Bono's, Six Thinking Hats theory and its concept of parallel thinking, with a specific focus on its application in the Health Information Management (HIM) field. This innovative framework provides HIM professionals with a structured approach to enhance their collaborative thinking processes and decision-making skills.

If you are looking to level up your leadership skills and inspire your team, I highly recommend checking out these informative books. They offer valuable guidance and practical strategies that can help you become a more effective leader.
