Summary
This study explored leadership development in healthcare professionals, finding that emotional intelligence and consensus-building skills foster both individual growth and organizational change. These competencies unite diverse teams and value all contributions for effective leadership.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Leadership Development
- Organizational Behavior
Background:
- Self-efficacy influences the link between education and action in training programs for clinical and translational sciences.
- Evaluations often focus on individual attitudes, neglecting community or organizational outcomes.
- Leadership development programs aim to enhance professional growth and impact.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore multiple levels of self-efficacy and leadership competencies in an equity-centered leadership program.
- To examine the relationship between self-assessed competencies and participants' experiences of personal and professional change.
- To understand individual and organizational impacts of leadership development.
Main Methods:
- A sequential, explanatory mixed-methods design was employed.
- Quantitative analysis (bivariate correlations, confirmatory factor analysis) of self-assessed competencies.
- Qualitative thematic coding of participants' narratives of significant change.
Main Results:
- Participants demonstrated multiple leadership competencies concurrently.
- Emotionally intelligent learning and consensus-building were used to manage conflict and achieve interpersonal impact.
- These skills facilitated the unification of diverse stakeholders for organizational change, valuing all colleagues' contributions.
Conclusions:
- Leadership growth involves simultaneous development of multiple competencies.
- The program fostered individual and organizational impacts through enhanced leadership skills.
- Mixed-methods approaches effectively link quantitative self-assessments with qualitative experiences of growth.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
