In the notions of “lesson learned,” Patton. M (2001), he emphasizes the idea as “Lessons learned with only one type of supporting evidence would be considered lessons learned hypothesis.” Lessons learned should be the actual cases of practical wisdom, and evaluation the findings that have drawn. A critical principle her is to maintain the contextual frame.

A new term, “Evidence-based Education by (Whitehurst, as cited by Trybus, 2007) defined as “The integration of professional wisdom with the best available empirical evidence in making decisions about how to deliver instructions.” And also conclude the need for balance between both. Therefore, leaders will not be guided by evidence, but also will inform with results. Moreover, decision makers cannot assume that followers will be committed to a decision without being part of the process associated with concluding. I included, the culture has an impact on the decision-making process, and she explicit that the decision has to grow with the culture of the organization. (organizational culture)

In this sense, Walsh and Rundall (2001) emphasize that the healthcare professionals use evidence-based practice supported by decision- support systems in their practice, and they included the idea of using evidence-based health care to challenge the way the decision made.  Also, referred to applying the concepts of evidence-based practice in healthcare management through collaboration, which create venues to be considered. However, the leaders and managers of healthcare organizations, while often doing much to encourage clinicians to adopt an evidence-based approach to clinical practice.

Evidence-based leadership is more than informed decision making. It’s about holding space for the whole organization to routinely practice the behaviors of high performance, leading by example.

The “evidence” is the fact that influence a decision and provide a coherent to which extent explicit chain of reasoning and improvement to a valid outcome. (Trybus. M, 2007)

Evidence-based decision -making helps people make well-informed decisions by having the best available evidence and manage the result, therefore improve the standard to provide the best practice and promote the trusted environment.

To what extent you think management system has been affected when merged with a practical-evidence-based approach?

As we go along with the meanings and findings of “worldview,” I think It depends on the way from where you see it. Is it your believes or others. And if I have to think about others, I should include other factors like childhood, behaviors, cultures, relationships, and community. It’s not limited to assumptions, but also contains principles. So I believe it’s a cogent engagement between the premises and the policies that we regarded to; therefore it’s unlimited.

Let’s think about it this way; if I have to draw a letter E on my forehead for you to see it, what do you think it will look alike, Either way, E or e. It will be, either way, The way I can see it as letter E or the way you can see it as letter E.

I do agree with the proposition made by the authors that one’s “worldview,” influence the type of question you asked and the process that you use to find the answer to your question.

My decision-making process influenced by many factors. Experience or what I call it “learning lesson” is one of these factors, Knowledge, believes, Cultures, organizational goals, relationships, and shared information. Some of my decisions stemmed from self-confidence about what I learned and repeated every day, which helps me respond quickly to situations. Acknowledge my mistakes and take the necessary steps to correct repair or amend the case. I relate to my emotions or others emotions which also affect and influence my decision. Work style and delegating work participated significantly in my decision-making process in a way that I can think in too many directions.

In the sense of what I mentioned, my next question will be How to resolve conflict?. What evidence do leaders rely upon for best outcome?.

A lot of what we do in our life based on common sense, what makes sense, and what we learned from others through personal experience or observations. Perpetuating truth, as well as lies and myths, require inquisitive mind practicing logical reasoning based on a given precondition or conclusion, this will allow for having more insight. Evaluating the outcomes and provide explanations for why and how particular results occurred.

Usually, I am more attracted to the articles that are more relevant to my field. I found it’s a useful tool for building knowledge and have the learning more efficient. The Reading articles encouraged me to explore possibilities and helping me to understand actual issues. Apart from reading and writing, listening and speaking are also integral in conducting information. I confess that I am not proficient in choosing articles and I am excited to learn more about it.

I am a medical laboratory technologist, and in our practice in the lab, where I worked we have scientifically laboratory techniques used to produce results either quantitative or qualitative. They are based on research and experience the better practice. They are all formulated in what we call “standard of operation.”

In addition to relying on research and better practice, we have what we call technologist discretion. I always encourage the trainee to use the resources they have and their caution if they needed and still learn when we consult with our experts about unexplainable critical conditions.

My ultimate goal is learning about leadership and scholar inquiry and use the proper instruments.
