Describe the most appropriate leadership style and/or strategy to apply in the scenario you chose in order to implement the recommendations successfully.

For the scenario I selected, the most appropriate leadership style and/or strategy to apply would be a transformational approach. Transformational leadership involves inspiring team members and getting them invested in the decision-making process by allowing them to suggest solutions, working together towards common goals, and understanding their expectations [1]. This type of leadership is particularly useful in cases where there is a need for large scale change or improvement. In this case, there needs to be a shift in how the nursing home staff approaches ED visits; rather than simply sending patients who might not need an ED visit (but lack alternatives), they should focus on creating strategies that will prevent these unnecessary visits from occurring.

This requires engaging with team members on all levels—including nurses, patient care assistants, social workers, unit leaders, etc.—to brainstorm ideas that can reduce avoidable ED visits without sacrificing quality of care. By encouraging ownership over the problem solving process and gathering suggestions from frontline staff who are most likely experience with patients’ day-to-day needs at first hand – new interventions & protocols can be developed & designed specifically for nursing home setting targeting reduction within short term [2]. The leader must also ensure open channels of communication between different departments so any proposed changes are communicated clearly before implementation [3][4] .

If done successfully ,this could help break down silos existing across entire system while building proactive action plans focusing both proactively intervening early when needed while staying away already congested emergency rooms unless absolute necessity required[5][6]
