Leadership style refers to the methods and behaviors leaders use when motivating, directing, and managing others. An individual's leadership style also determines how they strategize, develop, and implement plans while accounting for the well-being of their team. While there are many types of leadership styles, the NHS wants its leaders to utilize a collaborative, inclusive, and compassionate leadership style to deliver the highest quality of care to patients. Using these leadership styles as an example, describe your leadership style and how it will benefit the NHS if chosen for the position.

"I would describe my leadership style as collaborative and compassionate. I like seeking diverse ideas, opinions, and thoughts from my team to build strategies and solve problems. I consider my team member's strengths and weaknesses and assign them tasks where they will most shine and feel a sense of accomplishment. I find these leadership styles effective since my team members feel included and trusted and are more likely to take pride in ownership of their work. My leadership style effectively creates a confident and supportive multidisciplinary team that provides high-quality and compassionate care to all patients."
