Leadership Management Assessment of Transformational
The purpose of this analysis is to provide insights into the transformational leadership skills of Bruce Marlow, former CEO of 21st Century Insurance. Mr. Marlow has shown a consistent level of emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership skills when faced with the many of the challenges inherent in operating a large-scale healthcare provider and insurer. The healthcare industry continues to be dominated by increasing calls for compliance at both the state and federal levels, creating significantly greater levels of uncertainty in the process (Health Research and Educational Trust, 2007). For CEOs to be effective in their roles in any area of the healthcare industry, it is critical they be as effective in leading change as they are in managing strategic planning and long-term development (Health Research and Educational Trust, 2007). Further, exceptional CEOs are also transformational leaders who have an ability to use situationally-driven logic and insight to ensure the highest performance(Fitzgerald, Schutte, 2010). Mr. Marlow has these attributes and has successfully managed the insurance company he runs as a result.
