An Integrative Review of The Adverse Effects of Burnout in The Healthcare Industry: Mitigating Burnout

An Integrative Review of The Adverse Effects of Burnout in The Healthcare Industry: Mitigating Burnout

Justina Ward | 2023

Abstract

This literature review examines the adverse effects of occupational stress and burnout syndrome. For decades researchers have studied the two phenomena. Findings confirm that occupational burnout is directly caused by prolonged and unaddressed work-related stress that could lead to substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and a plethora of psychological disorders that are especially common among healthcare professionals. Burnout can be attributed to several factors, but six stand out 1) work overload, 2) lack of control, 3) insufficient reward, 4) breakdown in community, 5) absence of fairness, and 6) conflicting values. This review offers insights into modalities, techniques, and preventative measures that healthcare leaders can use to prevent burnout in their practitioners and staff.

This report utilized an integrative, descriptive review to shed light on the strain and unequivocal effects that frontline healthcare workers battle daily. The average American spends a significant amount of time at their place of employment. As such, there is great importance surrounding occupational stress and burnout, especially in American healthcare organizations. Since stress is prevalent and somewhat unavoidable, it would be valuable for leaders to identify stressors that may be manageable at first before they fester into long-term or chronic conditions, resulting in adverse outcomes that diminish the practitioner’s or organization’s effectiveness.

Burnout syndrome among healthcare professionals is widespread yet often overlooked. Studies demonstrate that constant encounters with traumatic experiences induce adverse outcomes for those professionals that ultimately can lead to patient-safety concerns. Burnout can be life-threatening and may be responsible for the rising number of physician suicides.

This review will aid the astute healthcare leader in creating safe cultures for practitioners, staff, and patients. The author encourages further investigation into this field of study.

Conceptualizing Justice and Social Institutions Through a Systems Lens: Equipping Leaders for Change

Conceptualizing Justice and Social Institutions Through a Systems Lens: Equipping Leaders for Change

Amy Westgate | 2023

Abstract

How do we prepare young leaders to face extraordinary challenges and radical uncertainties in a world where change seems like the only constant? What experiences and skills will equip them to understand what’s happening around them and respond to society’s complex and intractable problems? Conceptualizing Justice and Social Institutions Through a Systems Lens: Equipping Leaders for Change, a hybrid training program with wide application at the undergraduate and graduate levels, provides students with the necessary tools for becoming active change agents in global justice.

Grounded in systems thinking and system dynamics, Conceptualizing Justice and Social Institutions Through a Systems Lens: Equipping Leaders for Change introduces and fosters relevant cognitive, interpersonal, and self-leadership skills necessary for surviving and thriving in the 21st century. The program guides students in examining and visualizing systems and their behavior. Looking at problems more thoroughly and appreciating the downstream consequences of decisions helps students consider and craft more effective interventions toward organizational and institutional change. By preparing participants for thoughtful engagement with organizations and institutions, Conceptualizing Justice and Social Institutions Through a Systems Lens: Equipping Leaders for Change empowers young leaders to create more just policies, processes, and practices. With an approach designed for students to thrive, young leaders can develop the capacity to build thriving systems for all.

Vision360: Reconceptualizing Visionary Leadership for 21st Century Organizations and Entrepreneurial Teams

Vision360: Reconceptualizing Visionary Leadership for 21st Century Organizations and Entrepreneurial Teams

Thomas E. Anderson, II | 2022

Abstract

Leaders are reimagining and retooling their organizations in response to disruptive events and recent trends. The COVID-19 pandemic, work-from-home movement (WFH), and Great Resignation have sparked a resurging interest on vision. Consequently, one could ask, “is visionary leadership truly meeting the moment?” Answers will vary.

Visionary leadership emerged in the late 1980s to help established companies pursue new directions and bolster their competitive advantage. However, firms have become increasingly entrepreneurial, as the average age of a business decreased from 67 years old in 1920 to 15 years old in 2012 (Gittleson, 2012). Moreover, leader-follower dynamics and the underlying conditions that triggered visionary leadership theory have evolved significantly over the past four decades. Thus, scholars of vision-related leadership have noted a paradigm shift and called for a reconceptualization of and more comprehensive approach to visionary leadership. With even more employees launching new businesses over the last two years, the need for a more comprehensive model of organizational vision development and realization can wait no longer.

For the past 50 years, scholars have left a trail of breadcrumbs for visionary leaders and entrepreneurs to follow. Despite best attempts, founders and CEOs are hard-pressed to find a comprehensive and scalable model that explains how vision development and realization take place over the lifecycle of an organization. Vision360 applies a cross-disciplinary approach to examine and synthesize related literature on complex adaptive systems, vision-related leadership and integration, physical and biological science, lean startup, strategic leadership, foresight, creativity, innovation, design thinking, and organization development. It proposes a scalable model for vision development and realization based on two fundamental research questions: can an organization learn to see; and if so, how do leaders transform a vision into reality over the lifecycle of an organization?

Vision360 walks leaders through four metaphases of organizational vision iteration: conception, creation, adoption, and integration. This work recontextualizes vision-related leadership for entrepreneurial leaders and twenty-first century organizations to successfully navigate their strategic landscape, while coping with the effects of the notorious VUCA environment.

The Mordecai Model for Improving Future Outcomes

The Mordecai Model for Improving Future Outcomes

Afolarin Ogunyinka I 2023

Abstract

This Mordecai Model for Improving Future Outcomes is based on a qualitative exegetical analysis of the Book of Esther in the Bible. The model identifies time-tested Judeo-Christian principles and experiences that relate and align with Strategic Leadership concepts using inner texture analysis. The narrative that drives the model is anchored on insights into how Mordecai inspires and empowers Queen Esther, his adopted daughter to improve the outcome of her people even at the risk of her life. Even though the model is largely inspired by biblical instances and inferences, the concepts and principles presented apply to secular organizations or settings. The model is intended to serve as a leadership development resource for leadership teams, top, and middle management of organizations. The model provides precepts tailored to cultivate healthy and sustainable organizations even in perilous and uncertain times.

The model is a learning management system of five courses premised on five Strategic Leadership competencies. The courses are Ethical Competence, Cultural Agility, Systems Thinking, Communication Proficiency, and Leadership Development Capacity. Each course has a minimum of four lessons. The courses are developed in a way that is easy to understand, and navigate, and taken at the client’s pace. Taking this set of courses will help leaders forge forward in uncertain times even when there is not enough information available. Leaders will learn how Mordecai helped Esther save her people and gain Strategic Leadership insights in the process. The resources in this model include instructional videos, PowerPoint presentations, case studies from scenarios in Belgium, Cuba, and Singapore, and practical assessment exercises.

Leading through Disinformation: Developing Digital Leaders for the Digital Age

Leading through Disinformation: Developing Digital Leaders for the Digital Age

Nathaniel Perry | 2023

Abstract

The phenomenon of globalization and the emergence of advanced digital technologies have enabled cultural exchange to occur at a speed and scale unlike any other period in history. The benefits of the Digital Age and a hyperconnected society offer unlimited opportunities to solve shared global issues. However, these advancements also offer threats as the rapid spread of disinformation across social networks increases the potential for cultural collision and societal fragmentation. The ranks and readiness of the United States Air Force are not immune to these challenges, and the Digital Age has transformed the character and nature of war to include an evolved form of psychological warfare designed to win the battle before the first shots fire.Leading through Disinformation: Developing Digital Leaders for the Digital Ageoffers a model to prepare military leaders to navigate the digital world by leveraging digital technologies and strategic contributors to advance national and global objectives while mitigating the negative impacts of disinformation.

The five (5) courses within the training program take leaders on a journey to understand the changing dynamics of the battlefield, which include describing the emergence of the information, space, and cyber domains, examining the hyperconnected world and the complex challenges posed by the nodes and ties that exist within social networks, and applying digital leadership strategies to leverage the Digital Age to meet shared objectives. The courses examine the convergence and reciprocal relationships that exist between social change, information, and culture through the lens of individuals, nations, and societies and offer examples related to the influence of social media and the competing underlying values of cultures. Although developed for military leaders, this training program offers leaders in any industry a digital leadership framework to navigate the digital space and leverage the opportunities available to find opportunities to collaborate, shape desired futures, and adapt to inevitable changes.

Changing the Direction of Sexual Assault in the Military

Changing the Direction of Sexual Assault in the Military

Clindon Phillips | 2023

Abstract

Sexual assault is one of the most damaging harmful behaviors plaguing the military. Sexual assault in the military is a byproduct of the continual decrease in human values and respect in American culture. The Army cannot solve the problem of sexual assault through response programs alone. It must also implement a focused education program to teach its junior leaders how to cultivate a counterculture based on respect which prevents assaults from occurring. Leaders should focus on creating a culture founded on respect that leads to relationship equality. Until we teach leaders how to develop organizational culture that constrains people with the predisposition to commit rape or remove the opportunity, America will continue to struggle with sexual assault.

This workshop addresses sexual assault in the military by educating junior leaders to cultivate a culture that prevents harmful behaviors. These junior leaders might only have a few years of service and are the same age as their subordinates. They are still trying to master the skills required of soldiers while also leading their team of four junior soldiers. These junior leaders cannot mentor their subordinates because they are still trying to figure things out themselves. Additionally, all the soldiers in this team, including the leader, are members of the at-risk population of 17-24-year-olds.

Instead of doing consequence management, this workshop focuses on teaching leaders to understand the problem and develop a solution that addresses the root cause of harmful behaviors. It is an excellent start to closing the gap between the requirement for junior leaders to cultivate culture and their ability to do it.

Strengthening the ACRL Framework Alongside the Incorporation of A.I. to Teach Information Literacy Effectively

Strengthening the ACRL Framework Alongside the Incorporation of A.I. to Teach Information Literacy Effectively

Eriberto “Eddie” Ramirez | 2023

Abstract

Early on, the idea of storing information took the form of written manuscripts, then electronic books, and now information can be accessed online. However, modern technology known as artificial intelligence (A.I.) is penetrating various aspects of everyone’s everyday lives. Library and information professionals often alter the framework they use as innovative technologies develop. This paper explores the United States (U.S.) information literacy framework and two other frameworks. Understanding the frameworks for information literacy exposes a gap within the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Framework used in Higher Education. That gap is the difference between how information technology is currently being marketed, sold, and utilized versus how information literacy is now framed. An analysis was conducted to understand how A.I. is explicitly framed inside and outside the contexts of information literacy.

Consequently, incorporating aspects of A.I. and thinking creatively to create connections by creating real-life benefits for students in higher education is paramount. Higher education institutions are crucial in promoting information literacy by incorporating elements of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, the Five Laws of Media and Information Literacy by UNESCO, and China’s Education Informatization 2.0 Action Plan. What resulted was the creation of suggestions and courses that fill the gaps between Information Literacy as it stands today, given the specified frameworks found within this paper, and where technology currently resides. The analysis conducted within this paper and the courses covered will help ensure that high school and higher education students and those wishing to be more information literate in a growing technological age are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to succeed in a rapidly changing digital world.

You’re Not My Type: Discipleship Designed for Diverse Dispositions

Brodwynn Charles Roberts | 2023

Abstract

The numbers are astounding. Eighty percent of Christian adults need to be more engaged in discipleship activities. In comparison, according to the Barna Report, 20 percent of Christian adults are engaged in Bible Study, Sunday School, or a prayer gathering. The job description of every Christian is in Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Unfortunately, Christian leaders and laity need to fulfill the mandate spoken by Jesus. The discipleship deficit that many churches face is due, in part, to the one-size-fits-all approach used to “make disciples.” The Barna Report highlights that “cookie-cutter” programs hinder discipleship. This book seeks to answer how ecclesial leaders can engage and design discipleship for the 80 percent who need to be more engaged in discipleship activities.

Jesus’ interaction with any person was a moment that was designed specifically for them. Jesus cultivated relationships that served as the foundation for discipling. The Discipleship Designed for Diverse Dispositions Model recognizes that everyone is different and that ecclesial leaders can create discipleship activities with those differences in mind. The model’s foundations are Domain, Data, Decision, and Default. Each field correlates with the four dichotomies specified in Carl Jung’s psychological theory that is the basis of Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers personality type assessment tool known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Using the MBTI gives the model the flexibility needed to create activities that will appeal to the diverse dispositions that make up our congregations.

The D⁴Model considers personality preferences and includes activities designed for those personality preferences. Persons who prefer extraversion will naturally enjoy activities promoting group fellowships and encouraging open conversations and dialogue. At the same time, individuals whose dominant preference is introversion would be attracted to activities that promote reflection and mediation. This model provides custom-designed programming that meets the needs of every personality type. This model gives congregants options that will recruit and retain lifelong disciples.

Reframing Leadership: Practical Pathways to Unlocking Potential

Reframing Leadership: Practical Pathways to Unlocking Potential

Tywana Robinson | 2023

Abstract

Leading is often oversimplified as an automatic on or off switch. The underlying theme in the current business landscape includes reorganization, restructuring, right-sizing, and outsourcing in response. Despite ongoing discussions, many organizations struggle to pinpoint the key attributes facilitating leader development and progression. Consequently, leadership development often remains underemphasized. This manuscript aims to contribute to self-improvement for leaders. While individuals aspire to become better leaders, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving this goal. This book delves into five principles that can enhance a leader’s self-mastery skills. Strengthening these skill sets guides individuals on a path that prioritizes recognizing and harnessing the innate strengths of each person.

The book has two purposes: gathering research, insights from leaders, and lessons learned. First, it serves as a reference tool for leader development, particularly in the context of self-mastery skills. Second, the manuscript offers practical applications. In part one, readers are introduced to concepts that lay the groundwork for exploring the origins of leadership. In this section, readers can connect with their voices and define their goals as leaders. The second part of the book explains what sets leaders apart. How they effectively share wisdom, guidance, and vision. These exceptional leaders create environments that help them discover their potential and contribute to achieving organizational goals. The book’s third section takes a deeper dive into the concept of self-mastery. It examines five principles that enhance one’s skill set. These principles highlight the importance of purposefully reshaping one’s identity, driving change, and aligning talents.

Reframing Leadership: Practical Pathways to Unlocking Potential is valuable for leaders desiring to lead, build culture, communicate in various fields, and expand these five tenets. With an emphasis on revitalizing leader development, individuals embrace leadership in a newfound way. The reader will regain their identity and fulfill their calling to change the world.

The Strategic Needs Analysis of Leadership within The Persian Church

The Strategic Needs Analysis of Leadership within The Persian Church

Nathan Rostampour | 2023

Abstract

The leadership within the Iranian church needs to experience a revolutionary change. I have heard and experienced many good and bad things about the Iranian church for years. One of the good things is that the Iranian church is one of the fastest-growing evangelical populations in the world. However, there are challenges when something grows in number rapidly, and leaders need more time to be ready for change and to solve problems. Now is the time for the Iranian church to focus on healthy and biblical church leadership and transform the Iranian church. As a leadership coach and consultant, I have written this consulting report which is a strategic needs analysis to help leaders plan for a revolutionary change in the Iranian church. I designed a questionary with seven questions, and I interviewed 30 Iranian house church leaders and 70 Iranian house church members.

Based on the analysis of the results, I discovered the areas of urgent need for Iranian secret house churches in Iran. All Iranian church leaders and members of those churches showed their strong desire for healthy and thriving church leadership and discipleship within the Iranian church; however, they constantly face challenges and problems that are pushbacks for the church leaders and their members. According to Open Doors USA, the Iranian church is in 9th place among the most persecuted churches in the world. Therefore, Christians in Iran have many security concerns. Moreover, due to the limitations of Christians, there are not enough opportunities for the Iranian church to train ministers and make mature believers. These limitations have caused trouble for the church and its members, who are unsatisfied with their leaders’ performances and their churches’ care toward them.

Although there are security concerns and limitations in the Iranian church, the major problems are related to the leaders’ weaknesses and their unhealthy leadership within the Iranian church. According to my research, these are the main areas the Iranian church needs to focus on and make revolutionary changes to help Iranian believers grow healthily and enduringly.

Working on leaders’ character and skills.
Providing safe online education for secret house church leaders.
Leadership coaching, mentoring, and accountability.
Unity among Iranian church leaders.
Building a healthy and biblical leadership culture.

To accomplish this vital goal, the Iranian church must invest more in leadership training and start by working on leaders’ character and their personal challenges through coaching, mentoring, and counseling, and help them overcome the adverse outcomes of unhealthy leadership styles and the Islamic culture that have negatively impacted the leadership in the Iranian church. The Iranian leaders must unite, and further researchmust be conducted to see how they can grow together and help their churches thrive amid limitations and persecution. The good news for the Iranian leaders is that Jesus has already promised that He is and will be with them in this rewarding and exciting journey (Matthew 28:18-20).
