Health-care leaders work at the highest levels of organizations and face unique challenges in today's health-care systems. This article reports the lived experiences of an executive nurse to better understand their leadership journey and leadership shadow, exploring their professional development of health-care leadership while navigating change and conflict by interpreting critical turning points in their career and triangulating data to identify and analyze central themes. Offering a real-world perspective, the article uses personal reflection aligned to professional inquiry, workplace observations, document reviews, and personal accounts to focus on executive nursing and the construction of a social movement from within a large managed care organization. The purpose of this evaluation is to create deeper understandings of ways in which to improve patient and provider experiences, reduce system waste, and improve population health. The theme of transformational leadership emerged, and new insights were created to inform future thinking.

Primary Health Care Facilities

China has had some initial success in its current health care reform efforts. Five areas of reform have been targeted and include providing universal coverage, equitable access to basic health insurance, establishing an essential medicine system, and improving primary health care facilities. The last area, the reform of the public hospitals, remains the most difficult to reform. General guidelines have been established by the national government and movement is being taken to delegate authority to local units for implementation. The aim of this paper is to compare China's formal government sponsored health care reform plan for public hospitals to the acknowledgement and acceptance by a sample of health care leaders in Guangzhou. Challenges are strong and include cost accountability, doctor training, employee empowerment, improprieties, and the influence of private hospitals. Based on this qualitative research, conclusions and recommendations are made by the authors as to what is necessary to have effective pubic hospital reform in China.

Upward Influence

This study examined perceptions of superiors' upward-influence tactics in response to managers' resistance attempts described in 1980 by McLaughlin, Cody, and Robey. Based on influence tactics identified by several researchers, a questionnaire was developed to investigate supervisors' use of “hard” and “soft” upward-influence tactics in response to descriptions of perceived resistance from target managers. Responses were obtained from 167 supervisors involved in the management of technical and support staff personnel of four health-care organizations and submitted to stepwise regression. Soft upward-influence tactics were positively associated with attempts to justify resistance. Hard upward-influence tactics were negatively related to resistant negotiation.
