Part 2: Write a two-page reflection
Reflect on the leadership styles you’ve observed in others, as
well as an interprofessional collaboration experience from your
personal practice. (If you’re having a hard time coming up with an
example from your own experience, complete the five short
modules in the Sentinel U – Interprofessional Collaboration
simulation). What did or would effective leadership look like?
What did or would effective collaboration look like? Remember
that leadership can be demonstrated by those who aren’t in
official leadership positions as well as by formal leaders.
Be sure that your assessment addresses the following criteria.
Please study the rubric carefully so you understand what is
needed for a distinguished score.
• Reflect on an interdisciplinary collaboration experience,
noting ways in which it was successful and unsuccessful in
achieving desired outcomes, and how effective leadership,
or a lack of it, played a role. This may be the Sentinel U
simulation on Interprofessional Collaboration. There are five
modules in this simulation
◦ A simplified gap-analysis approach may be useful:
▪ What happened?
▪ What went well?
▪ What did not go well?
▪ What should have happened?
• Compare and contrast effective leadership with ineffective
leadership. What have you observed in others that works or
doesn’t work when it comes to leadership?
• Given what you’ve shared about effective leadership and
also what effective collaboration looks like, identify bestpractice leadership strategies from the literature that would
improve an interdisciplinary team’s ability to achieve its
goals, citing at least one article from the literature.
• Also identify best-practice interdisciplinary collaboration
strategies from the literature that would improve an
interdisciplinary team’s ability to achieve its goals, citing at
least one article from the literature.
• What leadership style do you think you need to develop
more to support the above best-practice strategies you’ve
described? How would you do that?
• Include a full reference list from relevant and evidencebased (published within 5 years) sources, adhering to APA
format.
You will also be required to submit an APA-formatted reference
list for any sources that you cited or used to inform your
reflection.
