Having a Health Care Administration Leadership Theory is essential to any health care administration leader.
With a well-constructed theory, you integrate leadership perspectives into practice in order to offer solutions to
health care administration problems. Also, with a visual representation of your theory, you may present another
way to highlight your research with effective design and theory implementation.
For this Assignment, you complete another part of your Health Care Administration Leadership Theory based
upon your understanding of leadership perspectives you have reviewed in this course. In addition, you must
use a systems thinking approach in the development of your visual representation of your personal Health
Care Administration Leadership Theory.
This week you will provide a visual representation of your Health Care Administration Leadership Theory. It can
be a table, schematic diagram, graph, or any other representation you choose. Please feel free to be creative.
However, the focus MUST be on leadership.
Provide a narrative explanation that shows how the developed theory can close the “gap” identified in the first
part of the Project.
Explain how it incorporates systems thinking.
Both the narrative explanation and the visual representation are included in the page count for the Assignment
length. Remember, your theory can be based on those that we have examined in this course or that you have
researched on your own. There is no wrong theory. What matters is the explanation of how it addresses the
gap and uses systems thinking. While this does not have to be addressed now, keep in mind the last part of the
Project will involve presenting a methodology that tests the developed theory empirically.
Please use Assignment 5 to develop visual representation of health care administration leadership theory.
