What is their motivation? If appropriate: which leadership theory or management style would best guide actions in this role? Why? B. Role-Based Strategy What specific actions would this role take to support the EHR implementation and address morale and readmission rates? How do formal and informal leadership responsibilities influence these actions? C. Impact Analysis How might organizational structure and culture affect the success of these strategies?
