]]> Dr. Wassmiah is a leader in a local hospital and works well in the environment. The hospital’s environment is characterized by well-defined individual roles where each employee knows what is expected of him or her. Employee conflicts are minimized as everyone understands his or her responsibility, and the coordination of all activities leads to goal attainment. There is no duplication of work. Dr. Wassmiah encourages people to perform well and rewards positive behavior to boost productivity. Most goals Dr. Wassmiah sets are short-term, making them easier to fulfill, less intimidating to achieve, and as a result, employees are interested in obtaining the various rewards. When a problem arises, Dr. Wassmiah directs the employees in what to do and is quick to point out if the employee does not deliver results. However, Dr. Wassmiah suspects that employees are not working when there is no supervision.
What style of leadership is most likely described in this case and why have you reached that conclusion? What are the advantages of this type of leadership and what examples from the case support your position? What are the disadvantages of this type of leadership and what examples from the case support your position? What are the implications for employee motivation with this type of leadership? What other styles of leadership might be complementary to that described in the case and why?

Guidelines for Writing the Essay:

  1. Introduction:

    • Begin by briefly introducing the concept of leadership in healthcare.
    • State the purpose of the essay, which is to analyze Dr. Wassmiah’s leadership style.
    • Include a thesis statement that presents the main argument, focusing on the transactional leadership style and its implications.

  2. Leadership Style Identification:

    • Identify the leadership style demonstrated by Dr. Wassmiah. In this case, it is likely transactional leadership.
    • Provide a brief description of transactional leadership, explaining its characteristics (clear roles, short-term goals, rewards, and punishments).
    • Support this identification with examples from the case, such as how Dr. Wassmiah sets short-term goals and rewards employees for positive behavior.

  3. Advantages of the Leadership Style:

    • Discuss the benefits of transactional leadership in a healthcare setting.
    • Explain how well-defined roles and expectations lead to minimized conflict and goal attainment.
    • Provide examples from the case, such as the absence of duplicated work and employees meeting short-term goals.

  4. Disadvantages of the Leadership Style:

    • Highlight the drawbacks of a transactional leadership approach.
    • Discuss how reliance on supervision may limit employee autonomy and intrinsic motivation.
    • Use examples from the case, such as Dr. Wassmiah’s suspicion that employees may not work without supervision.

  5. Implications for Employee Motivation:

    • Analyze how this leadership style may affect employee motivation, both positively and negatively.
    • Discuss the potential for short-term motivation due to rewards, but also the risk of employees focusing only on tasks to earn rewards rather than engaging deeply with their work.

  6. Complementary Leadership Styles:

    • Suggest transformational leadership as a complementary style to transactional leadership.
    • Explain how transformational leadership can address the limitations of transactional leadership, particularly in fostering long-term motivation and employee autonomy.
    • Use examples of how transformational leadership could enhance Dr. Wassmiah’s approach.

  7. Conclusion:

    • Summarize the main points discussed, reinforcing the benefits and drawbacks of Dr. Wassmiah’s leadership style.
    • Emphasize the potential for integrating transformational leadership to create a more balanced and effective leadership approach.
    • End with a final thought on the importance of adapting leadership styles to meet the needs of the organization and its employees.
