Assignment:
Multidisciplinary teams are very prevalent in healthcare settings. What kind of leadership is necessary to lead a multidisciplinary team? Do self-directed, high-performing teams even need a leader? Use information from research to support your opinions.
You should use a real-life situation or team to base your PowerPoint. This may include a team that you are leading or one in which you are a member. Remember, no one works by themselves in healthcare. You are a part of some team. Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following issues related to multidisciplinary teams in your organization:
- Description and make-up of the team
- Number of team members
- Departments or specialties
- If applicable, is the patient a member of the interdisciplinary team? Why or why not?
- Purpose and/or goals for the team
- Does the team have a clear purpose and/or goals?
- Critique how the purpose, or lack thereof, impacts team performance
- How does the team communicate?
- How is team performance measured? (You may want to ask the leader or member of the team. Remember to include a personal communication citation, per APA)
- Is this a permanent or ad hoc team?
- How would you characterize the leader's style, if there is a leader?
- Summary or conclusion
Create Maximum 20 slides, excluding a reference slide. A minimum of 3 academic or professional references are required in the PowerPoint presentation.
