Analysis of Relevant Leadership Characteristic and Skills
A person leading potential performance improvement projects utilizing both appreciative inquiry and SWOT approaches should have some leadership skills. One of them is good communication skills. Good communication skills are essential to obtain accurate information about the experiences of the staff with the organization (Nieuwboer et al., 2019). The second skill is effective team member. Undertaking appreciative inquiry and SWOT analysis is a collaborative activity. One should have the abilities to influence the staff to engage in collaborative activities when exploring their organization (Dempsey & Assi, 2018). The other skill is relationship building. One should be able to establish open, trusting, and honest relationship with the staff. This is important in facilitating the acquisition of data that reflects the true situation of the organization. The other skill is innovation and creativity. Innovation and creativity enable the identification of effective, transformative strategies when undertaking appreciative inquiry and SWOT analysis (Vlados, 2019). Some of the skills that were helpful in undertaking appreciative inquiry and SWOT analysis in my organization included effective communication and relationship building.
Conclusion
Appreciative inquiry and SWOT analysis are tools that guide organizations in developing their strategic plans. Organizations use them to identify quality improvement initiatives to achieve their mission and visions. The undertaken appreciative inquiry revealed issues of excellence and the desired future of my organization. SWOT analysis identified strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities the organization should explore for its success. Effective leadership skills are essential for the application of appreciative inquiry and SWOT analysis approaches in health organizations.
