Characteristics of Adaptive Leaders
Characteristics of Adaptive Leaders
Know your Environment: Adaptive DNP leaders should embrace the uncertainty of the changing healthcare environment and look for new approaches to achieve the health outcomes of their patients. This may not be the time to be sticking to the rules of the previous volume-based model of care. Those leaders who develop different perspectives. That go beyond the tradition way of thinking, and encourage their team members to do the same, can adapt to. And thrive, in the new value-based model of healthcare.
Lead with Empathy: Adaptive DNP leaders should embody an interprofessional, collaborative, attitude. Through this type of attitude, they will understand alternative perspectives and be able to respond with empathy. Adaptive DNP leaders should reward their employees with autonomy to work independently. And manage their own activities. It is through this type of intrinsic motivation that employees are allowed to grow and contribute to the organization.
Learn from Self-Assessment and Reflection: During this time of organizational change. Adaptive DNP leaders should encourage experimentation to improve processes that lead to positive patient experiences and outcomes. Some experiments may fail, but failures can serve as lessons for the future. Adaptive DNP leaders should encourage their teams to reflect on both their successes and failures. It is important that employees are able to trust the team to identify mistakes and problems in order to respond quickly to them.
Find the Win-Win Solution: Adaptive DNP leaders value platforms for cooperation and build on them. Healthcare depends on multiple layers of stakeholders including providers, suppliers, insurers. And teams of support personnel. Adaptive DNP leaders need to include these stakeholders in the new value-based model in order to sustain a changing economical business model. Value-based care cannot be provided without having a win-win solution for the transition from volume-based care.

Lesson Summary
Innovative leaders are willing to think and act like a rogue—they willingly challenge assumptions.
Individuals can become more innovative by acting like a scientist. To start, keep a record of hypotheses for new ways of getting things done.
Treat these hypotheses as experiments and come up with options for things you might do differently.
