PEER#1
On this week’s episode of Saving Sara demonstrated Sara’s abilities as an adaptable leader. Sara first demonstrates these traits by assisting Paula with additional training on the new system and by taking on Paula’s patient load so that she can become familiar with the new system. Sara expresses anxiety for Paula’s ability to acclimate to the new EMR system but seems hopeful that she will get the hang of it. Sara, in my opinion, is progressively learning how to be an adaptable leader but still does not fully understand how to be one. With the help of adaptive leadership, leaders may identify and concentrate on the key components of a business (Lutherans, 2002).
PEER #2
Adaptive leadership requires the leader to be able to adapt to constant change or needs within their organization, based on the context of the situation and what is essential at that current point in time (Glover et al., 2002). When Sara was approached about the patient that wanted to file a formal complaint against Dr. Tkachyck, she promptly dealt with the situation by filing a report, as was requested. Although she was not sure of the consequences that would result, she still did the just action in the situation. In contrast, when Ellen reveals that she had also been victim to the doctor’s harassment and inappropriate comments, Sara urges her to report, but she refuses due to how new she is to the hospital. In this instance, Sara does use her emotional intelligence to not pressure Ellen any further into reporting, despite her insistence on it. However, she does become visibly bothered by this information which leads to some impaired emotional self-regulation, a component of emotional intelligence (Issah, 2018).
