The focus\u00a0should set on prioritizing important work which is usually more strategic: losing focus of the same can be undoing of the up and not meeting the target set.<\/p>\n<p>In health care field it is indispensable to meet target\u00a0not only for the welfare of the organization but for the patient&#8217;s health and their needs.<\/p>\n<p>Also, In Palak&#8217;s Blogs, it is mentioned what addicts can teach us (Lepsinger, 2010) as one of the least essential principles for the organization. But I believe this is an important principle a health worker should hold accountable. As stated in Lepsinger (2010)<\/p>\n<p>The work done with these people can teach us a lot about helping employees change their behavior. If some techniques and models can help people kick a heroin habit or stop smoking, then these same techniques and models should also enable us to help people change more benign behaviors in the workplace (p. 105).<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with harsh situations and surviving during tough times can only be learned when experienced. In Palak&#8217;s Blogs (2018), it is mentioned &#8221;\u00a0with several departments and even more number of employees, it is impractical to determine what stage of the \u201cchange process\u201d the employee is in and what amount of motivation does he need.&#8221; However, I believe, it is possible and necessary to judge at which stage an employee is. It might not be useful in the development of an organization but essential for the growth\u00a0of the employee. Knowing them well and helping them to adapt if the change is not happening is what describes a true servant leader. I&#8217;m working with a very similar work environment and the best aspect I found about it is they keep assessing at what stage of development and what changes are being adopted by their employee. It is more like a cyclic process as at every step evaluating growth determines the rate of change.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nap.edu\/openbook\/21794\/xhtml\/images\/img-89.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for benefits of assessing change in an employee in an organization in health care field is a cyclic process\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is a classic example of a cyclic process linked with our organization where assessment of employee shows their mistakes everytime they moved to next advance step. Due to which they have to start from the beginning which helps them to grasp things in a better way without letting them commit such mistake again. It leads to their development and the overall growth of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p>Lepsinger\u00a0 R. (2010)\u00a0<em>Closing the Execution Gap<\/em>. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
