Readiness Report

The board of directors asked you to pay attention to the hospitals involvement in the community they serve. You have a month to put structures together, prepare staff for the task, and implement tangible corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities with community stakeholders. In addition, you are asked to specifically prepare a readiness report on whether or not the hospital staff could meet the task.

For the board, your Readiness Report will address the following topics:

1. Characteristics, skills, and behaviors of a collaborative leader
2. Different ways to build collaborative leadership skills
3. Benefits of collaborative leadership
4. Steps that guide a successful collaboration
5. Advantages, problems, and challenges of collaborative leadership
6. Factors that enhance collaborative leadership
7. Alleviation of pitfalls in collaborative leadership

Deliverable Requirements: The Readiness Report should address the points above in at least 5 pages (title and reference pages are not counted in the page requirement) and cite 5 sources in APA format.

Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:

• Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
• Length: 5 pages minimum
• Body: This begins on the page following the title page and must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between paragraphs). The typeface should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 5 pages. In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
• Reference page: References that align with your in-body academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hanging indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-body citation
