FOR THE DISCUSSION THIS IS WHAT I SAID:
Describe how Systems Leadership Connects to Continuous Quality
The success of healthcare systems relies heavily on the leadership of those within those systems. Leaders must take a system-wide view and work together across organizational levels and functions to improve healthcare delivery as a whole. Alignment, collaboration, and synergy are the hallmarks of effective systems leadership (Dreier et al., 2019) in the healthcare industry. A culture of quality and patient safety can flourish when an organization’s mission, goals, and initiatives are all in sync with one another.
Systems leadership in healthcare emphasizes being proactive in the face of problems with quality. Leaders improve care procedures and results through data analysis, stakeholder participation, and data-driven decisions. A culture of continuous improvement, where feedback loops and transparency allow healthcare workers to learn from mistakes, adapt to new situations, and innovate, is fostered by strong systems leadership, as noted by Bigland et al. (2020).
Identify and describe a leadership attribute that is needed by nurse managers to successfully affect quality improvement.
Nurse leaders who want to make a difference in healthcare quality should cultivate transformational leadership skills. According to Alanazi et al. (2022), a transformational leader is someone who can energize and drive their team to greater heights of achievement and dedication. Quality improvement programs are more successful when led by nurse managers with this trait.
Nurse managers that have the potential to transform their organizations are visionaries who set high standards for their staff. They participate in mental exercise, fostering an environment where employees are free to think critically and creatively. In addition, they encourage personalized care by catering to the specific requirements of each team member and playing to their particular talents (Iqbal et al., 2019).It has been found that employees are more likely to take initiative in their work, accept change, and contribute meaningfully to quality improvement initiatives when led by transformational nurse managers (Iqbal et al., 2019). In order to achieve long-term quality improvement in healthcare, this leadership quality is essential.

THE PEER SAID:
Systems leadership connects to continuous quality by gathering a group of people together with similar goals to enhance the patient’s care. Bringing together these individuals can lead to required change in the nursing profession. Professionals who lead systems change efforts need competencies in both systems thinking and leadership (Talley & Hull, 2023). System leadership comprises a set of individuals with the knowledge and skills to make systematic changes. These individuals address complex issues and plan for better outcomes to increase the quality of care.
Leadership attributes that are needed by nurse managers to successfully affect quality improvement are trustworthiness, accountability, a drive for change, and inspiring self and others. Authentic leadership (AL) is described in the nursing and management literature as a pattern of leader behavior that promotes honest relationships and positive psychological outcomes in followers. (Raso et al., 2020). These attributes empower others to increase the quality of care for the patients. Nurses are more inclined to pursue alternative interventions when they have leaders that motivate them to be free thinkers.
