1. The Role of the Informal Leader and Its Important Role in the Organization
This chapter will contrast and compare the roles of formal leaders and informal leaders in health care organizations. The characteristics of informal leaders will be explored, along with the reasons people tend to follow informal leaders. It will also discuss why leadership at all levels is critical in the health care environment and how informal leaders play a key role in organizational success.
2. Sources of Power for Informal Leadership
Both formal and informal leaders utilize a variety of power to influence others and achieve positive outcomes. This chapter will describe both positional and professional power and how their use can be problematic or positive for leading and influencing others. It will also provide insights for identifying the type of power most frequently used by informal leaders and its value in change management.
3. Discovering Your Leadership DNA
There is no single best way to lead as each leader, formal or informal, brings their own unique set of skills to the leadership role. It is essential for informal leaders to understand how their talent, skills, abilities and experience informs their leadership style. This chapter will discuss leadership DNA and assist learners in embracing their own unique leadership DNA profile.
4. How Emotions Drive the Behavior of the Informal Leader
Successful leaders are not those with high levels of intelligence but rather those who know how to control their emotions and positively impact others through their words and behaviors. This chapter will discuss the four domains of emotional intelligence and why each is critical to development of leadership skills for the informal leader. An assessment of emotional intelligence is included to assist the informal leader.
