    Make Connections: Leadership and Management

    1. Identify the Organizational Structure in your current clinical situation (no names

    please, just titles).  Include the following:

    The organizational structure of the current clinical situation is made of departments that

    directly report to the chief executive officer (CEO). Novice managers report to middle-level

    managers, while managers are t the top level in the organizational structure (Marquis & Huston,

    2009). In general, managers have more understanding of the overall organizational environment

    than other organizational entities.

    2. Type of Organization

    The organization is a health care organization. This is indicated by the mention of the

    health care professionals in the organizational chart.

    3. The Organizational Chart

    The organizational chart entails a definition of the formal relationships in a particular

    institution. The chart defines the relationships sustained between the various lines of

    communication and the formations of authority. The various units of command are indicated by

    vertical solid lines between the multiple positions depicted in the organizational chart (Marquis

    & Huston, 2009). The organization entails the various employees reporting to one manager who

    is responsible for the roles and functions of the employees.

    4. The Types and Sources of Power that exist

    The types of power in the organizational chart are shown by the sphere of influence, and

    the number of entities under each level. The sources of power are the levels of positions. In

    other words, each level of the organization comes with its share of power.

    5. Identify an Authority-Power Gap (real or potential) and how that gap may be

    bridged

    A potential power gap in the organizational chart is between the Director of General

    Services and the manual laborers, such as the laundry team, the cooks, and housekeepers. There

    should have been a manual laborer manager to connect between the Director of Auxiliary

    General Services and the manual laborers.

    6. Identify what Mode of Organizational Patient Care exists, and how this mode

    works, or doesn't work within the organization culture (give examples)

    Patient care belongs to the care model organization mode. This mode works by

    combining the overall efforts of all types of health care practitioners, including nurses, doctors,

    counselors, and other specialties, to ensure that patients are cared for and effectively treated. This

    model works within the identified organizational culture. Examples of care models include

    hospitals and other health care organizations (Agency for Clinical Innovation, 2013).
