HCA 501 - Self & Small Group Leadership

Institution:

Simmons University

Subject:

Description:

The content and structure of this course and the follow-on courses (HCA 505 and HCA 533) are based on the following premise: There are four arenas in which student leadership competency can be demonstrated: self/individual; group (the small work group); institution and community. Moreover, the function as leader differs in each arena: Self: To ensure ones own learning and growth Group: To drive the creation and maintenance of appropriate group norms Institution: To contribute actively to the creation and maintenance of an outstanding organizational culture Community: To advocate effectively for the health and development of the larger community. HCA 501 and 505 focus on the first two leadership arenas and functions. HCA 533 focuses on institutional and community arenas and functions. HCA 501 is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of what leading people entails, as well as with opportunities to develop some of the requisite skills and competencies of an effective leader of people. In addition, because of the need for interdisciplinary teamwork in healthcare, another emphasis of the course is to prepare students to lead interdisciplinary teams effectively, as well as to be effective members of such teams.
