Leading together towards a stronger ‘us’: An experimental test of the effectiveness of the 5R Shared Leadership Program (5RS) in basketball teams

ObjectivesLeadership has been suggested to be a key factor in gaining a competitive advantage as a team, with shared leadership being a better predictor of team functioning than vertical leadership. Although the benefits of shared leadership are well-documented, evidence about how to implement a shared leadership structure remains sparse. This leaves coaches with three key challenges: (1) identifying the best leaders; (2) defining what roles those leaders should fulfill; and (3) developing their leadership skills. Solutions to these challenges have been proposed in the 5R Shared Leadership Program (5R^S) — a leadership development program that seeks to implement an effective structure of shared leadership within sports teams.DesignTo test the effectiveness of 5R^S program, we conducted an experimental-comparison group intervention in which eight national-level basketball teams (N = 96) completed a questionnaire at two points in time (i.e., pre- and posttest). The teams in the intervention condition completed the 5R^S program, in which we identified the leadership structure in their teams (through Shared Leadership Mapping), appointed the best leaders in their leadership role, and then developed their identity leadership skills.ResultsThe results revealed that the 5R^S program was successful in strengthening athlete leaders’ identity leadership skills, and as a result also team members’ identification with their team. Furthermore, in contrast to athletes in the comparison condition, athletes in the 5R^S condition were able to maintain their levels of intrinsic motivation and commitment to team goals, while also reporting improved well-being.ConclusionsThe present study provides encouraging evidence that, by implementing a structure of shared leadership and by promoting athlete leaders’ identity leadership skills, the 5R^S program is able to improve the team’s functioning and the well-being of its members.     

Leadership Development in UK Medical Training: Pedagogical Theory and Practice

Phenomenon: The central role of clinical leadership in achieving the vision of quality and productivity could be attained by investing in its development in postgraduate medical education. Approach: A critical review of selected literature is presented. Findings: The author identifies some of the main theoretical constructs related to leadership; the pedagogical underpinning of medical leadership programs; their learning objectives; and the mixture of methods, individual and collective, to achieve them. Insights: How to best develop leadership through medical education remains an open debate. Experiential learning, reflective practice, action learning, and mentoring could provide the foundations of leadership development. Application of the aforementioned should be cautious due to limitations of the concept of leadership as currently promoted and lack of robust evaluation methodologies.

两种DRGs指标体系的绩效评价效果比较研究

目的应用传统与新型DRGs指标体系进行绩效评价效果比较研究,探讨新型DRGs指标体系应用价值。方法基于某省大数据平台的31家三级综合公立医院DRGs资料,分别采用传统与新型DRGs指标体系对之进行综合绩效评价,采用Pearson检验对医院排名进行相关性分析,通过专家咨询法论证两种指标体系。结果31家医院排名均发生了变化,超过一半的医院排名变化幅度超过10名。两种DRGs指标体系的医院排名不存在显著相关性（相关系数为-0.348,P=0.057）,即在实际评价效果上存在较大差异。新型DRGs评价指标体系的应用价值优于传统型。结论相较于传统DRGs指标体系,新型DRGs指标体系严格把控区域医疗质量指标,通过强化学科评价与费用控制,重视患者医疗质量,使评价更为科学、全面。
