Section 1: Leadership and Collaboration Experience

Briefly describe an instance where you were required to lead and motivate a team of professionals to collaborate. It does not need to be in a health care setting. If you have not lead a team of professionals before, use a different example. Next, analyze your approach to the challenge using specific examples. It is not important whether or not your efforts were successful. What is important is the approach you take to appraising your leadership and collaboration decisions and actions. Do the following:

1. Analyze your leadership of the project. Consider the following:
   • What was the purpose or shared vision of the team?
   • The effectiveness of your leadership approach and style. Did you get “buy in” from stakeholders?
   • Decision making processes and outcomes? What were your good decisions? What would you have done differently?
   • How did you communication your vision, values, decisions, information, et cetera?
2. Analyze your approach to fostering collaboration and motivation among stakeholders. Consider:
   1. How well you facilitated member or participant collaboration and engagement with one another. Did participants communicate effectively?
   2. Actions you took to motivate people to realize your vision or tactics. Did the team or participants feel motivated and energized by you? Why or why not?
