Leadership Driver Organizational Goals Leadership Driver While it is understood that all staff within the Health Unit are leaders, the intent of this driver is to focus on those who have primary responsibility and accountability for an organization’s performance. Good leadership is founded on ethics and values that reflect quality prinicples (19). What is the Issue? In the 2011 Organizational Review, strategic leadership was identified as a concern and management was seen to be more reactive than proactive (20). This was in part because the Directors were not able to provide strategic leadership in the absence of Managers. In 2012, a new organizational structure decreased the number of directors and increased the number of managers to address this concern. The Directors and Medical Officer of Health now form a Strategic Leadership Team to provide overall direction to the Health Unit. The 2010 Linda Duxbury survey on work and health indicated that the Health Unit’s workplace culture was inconsistent during times of change and staff reported ‘sometimes’ (but not consistently) being encouraged to provide feedback and participate during times of change by the leaders of the organization. Sometimes there was a lack of transparent, consistent communication and decision-making by management (21). Four of the categories in the Organizational Standards (OS) have goals and requirements that relate directly to the role of the Board of Health. Many of these OS requirements are part of the Health Promotion and Protection Act (HPPA) and are Ontario Council on Community Health Accreditation (OCCHA) standards. The Health Unit has received full accreditation by OCCHA for the past 20 years so many of the OS requirements are currently being achieved by the Board of Health. Two areas require more work - Board of Health member orientation and training, and self-evaluation. Consideration of the OS in ongoing review of bylaws, policies and procedures will help ensure all requirements are being fully met. 42 Moving Upstream: 2013-2018 Strategic Plan Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit
