Long Term Care Leadership Survey

Abstract

A previous study by Dr. Olson on effective leadership in LTC found that effective leadership and management are both necessary for an organization to be successful. A subsequent study done by Olson and Dr. Zwygart-Stauffacher in Wisconsin and Minnesota showed the relationship with the facility Administrator plays a key role towards influencing the success of the DON. In the survey, key related aspects of leadership are focused on. These include facility-wide engagement, resident care, focus on the workforce, quality systems, personal and collaborative leadership, and financial and resource accountability.
