Leadership and team dynamics in healthcare

OBJECTIVE To focus on leadership as an outcome which results from the pro-cess of team dynamics. METHOD The research method used is the qualitative method of the executives who already hold a position of responsibility or are in a potential position of responsibility in the areas of medicine, nursing, administration and social work, in two hospitals of the 5th Health District, the General Hospital of Livadia and the General Hospital of Thiva. Data collection took place in the period between March to October 2021. The interviews lasted from one to one and a half hours each. Individual interviews were conducted on 24 healthcare workers based on an interview guide. RESULTS It was found that there is a need for existence and application of a leadership skills style that consists of combining the activities of the leader with the team through a relationship that gradually develops with the working group members. Leader-ship could then be a means of influencing team behavior and thus achieving team commitment to the project. CONCLUSIONS The team leader-coordinator that also participates as a member is strengthened and empowered in terms of his coordination-leadership role, promoting cooperation and acceptance to his personality, rendering leadership from role to function.
