My leadership style is collaborative and empowering. I believe in setting clear expectations, providing support, and encouraging open communication. In my previous roles, I facilitated regular team meetings to address concerns, shared updates, and encouraged feedback. This approach fostered a supportive environment where team members felt valued and motivated, leading to improved patient care and staff satisfaction.

I approach conflict resolution by first understanding the perspectives of all parties involved. I encourage open dialogue and active listening to ensure everyone feels heard. Then, I work to find common ground and solutions that address the concerns of all stakeholders. My goal is to maintain a harmonious work environment while ensuring the best patient outcomes.

I prioritize regular training and updates for the team on the latest healthcare regulations and standards. I also conduct periodic audits and reviews to ensure compliance. By maintaining open communication and providing resources, I empower the team to adhere to these guidelines effectively, ensuring both patient safety and regulatory compliance.

I manage stress by practicing effective time management and prioritization techniques. I also ensure I have a strong support network, both professionally and personally. Regular breaks and self-care are essential, as is fostering a team environment where everyone supports each other. This approach helps maintain a balanced and focused approach to high-pressure situations.

In a previous role, I had to decide whether to proceed with a high-risk procedure on a critically ill patient. After thorough assessment and consultation with specialists, I made the decision to proceed, based on the potential benefits outweighing the risks. The procedure was successful, and the patient made a full recovery. This experience reinforced my ability to make informed, patient-centered decisions under pressure.
