Healthcare Leadership and Ethics All styles of leadership must include ethics that are built on a foundation of values, obligation to do good, while adhering to the healthcare organizational codes that reflects the agency’s mission. In healthcare, this means high-quality care for patients or delivery outcomes ((Levitt-Rosenthal, 2013). In evaluation of my past career roles and where I would like to go in the future, I really have not had issues that I needed to work on. However, I have left two jobs because I did not agree with a few of the company’s policies in how they operated to keep grant monies. According to Larson (2013) the top five ethical issues, in healthcare delivery today, are finding a balance between efficient and quality …show more content…

There were a few areas that needed changing and I saw a therapist at school to implement new views, enabling me to work with all clients. In my next venture, working as a community outreach worker, I met a variety of people, from the incarcerated population to sex workers, and encountered no delivery issues. I was very passionate about health education as I am today, and do not foresee any barriers that would hinder my passion in working with others that represent diversity.

This methodology can be considered theory-to-practice or scholar-practitioner model, meaning that said practice, whether academic or in the workplace must be grounded in evidence-based research coupled with one’s personal ideals, investment, and ethical actions (Miller, 2013). As a doctoral learner, I am constantly challenged with academic tasks that require me to reflect on my past academic endeavors as well as lessons learned in the workplace, so that I can cultivate the best information reflected in my papers as well as my community input as a resident or volunteer (Roberts, 2015). This also means, that while writing or answering or forming contributions that I research appropriate theories, that are not only current, but relevant and credible so that I further, by influence, the information in my own arena (University of Phoenix, 2016). The immediate example that comes to mind, is when I taught courses for the pharmacy technician program for American Career College. Although, most of the mechanics, had remained the same, other factors had not. It was my responsibility to research current methodology, trends, attitudes, practices, and medications that were in the current day model of pharmacy (Hebert, 2010). Ethically, I want to pass on to my students, the type of information that would give them the best outcome in their own personal
