Answer
1. The elements of a transformational leader are to influence, inspire, motivate, provide
intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration (Collins et al., 2020). It encourages
employees to take ownership of their roles and perform beyond expectations. Utilizing the
CARE Plan method can lead to impressive results as a transformational leader within an
interprofessional team.
(C) Communicate: I can communicate openly and transparently with the team members.
Engaging in dialogue and being an active listener is essential. I can organize a meeting to discuss
the problem and be an encourager to everyone so they can share their thoughts and concerns.
(A) Align: It is essential to align the values and goals of the interprofessional team so that all
issues with the practice problem are addressed accordingly. This involves sharing a vision,
establishing common objectives, and emphasizing collaboration and mutual respect amongst the
care team. I will initiate a discussion to identify the common goal related to the problem and
encourage cooperation between team members.
