Professional leadership Journal – Value Systems
The art and science of leading people in an effective manner is an increasingly challenging process though it is a great opportunity and serious responsibility (Nahavandi, 2014). Leadership plays a crucial role in the success and effectiveness of any organization including those in the public health sector. Leaders influence the success and effectiveness of an organization through their roles in maintain order and focus and promoting the accomplishment of tasks. However, in light of the complexities associated with the art of leadership, it is increasingly important for leaders to adopt suitable styles and approaches that enhance their effectiveness in an organization. In light of the insights obtained from this course, an individual’s personal values play an important role in leadership.
Values are defined as enduring beliefs that an individual possess that in turn influences his/her code of conduct. Value systems not only shape an individual code of conduct but also affects his/her worldview. Therefore, personal values may affect an individual’s leadership in the field of public health through shaping his/her ideologies, viewpoints, and actions. Leadership styles and approaches in the field of public health are influenced by one’s value systems. By influencing one’s viewpoints, values determine the approaches undertaken by a leader in the public health sector toward promoting the health and wellbeing of patient populations.
The Value Systems assessment has provided insights on how values act as the building block for character and leadership approaches and styles. Based on this assessment, some of the most important values as a leader in the field of public health include integrity, compassion, doing good to others, hard work, and humility. In my current or future role as a public health leader, I will utilize insights obtained from this assessment and course to develop a value-based leadership approach based on these key values in the public health sector.
