Abstract
Leadership is one of the critical factors for organizational creativity, innovation, and performance. Organizational culture is a significant strategic element that stimulates creativity, innovation, and performance to strengthen the organization and compete. This study aims to investigate and understand the leading role of leadership in creativity, innovation, and organizational performance to foster team performance. Since workplace culture and employee attitudes are vital predictors of organizational innovation and performance, looking deep into leadership roles improves organizational performance by enhancing work culture in healthcare.
Innovation sessions provide great opportunities to redesign solutions and encourage divergent thinking in teams, and these innovations dramatically depend on the leaders and the team's psychological safety. Teams' innovative ideas should be recognized/ consistently rewarded and encouraged to work flexibly to bring creative ideas forward for further innovations. Organizational performance reports should address goal policies and management limitations; a balanced scorecard method could help leaders balance various pressing parameters. Institutional goals are foundational building blocks to achieve its mission and vision; setting up, aligning, and tracking enables the department to work towards a single objective by contributing everyone to the project for growth. Breaking down goals into smaller pieces helps leaders stay on track, identify team members meeting key results, and measure progress toward a goal.
An easy way to diagnose organizational culture is by conducting an institutional survey, which reflects the inner mind of the organization and workplace culture. An organizational culture begins with excellent mission and vision statements guiding leaders to values and objectives. The timeline setup for goals supports the leaders in managing and achieving goals on time, and regular monitoring is suggested to track progress. Demarcating and applying metrics to milestones support progress tracking, and the goal reports identify the organization's vision for growth and expansion. Excellent leaders are desired to promote organizational creativity and innovation to improve organizational performance by enhancing work culture in healthcare.
