The internal and external factors led to the decline of the survey scores. One of the internal factors is poor working conditions for the employees such as inadequate space utilization and inefficient workplace processes. Lack of proper tools and equipment may also have affected the morale of the employees leading to low productivity. Lack of fairness in the hospital may also lead to low scores where some employees feel that there is discrimination. The patients are dissatisfied due to inadequate medical equipment and medication and the lack of enough machines for their treatment (Call & Sullivan, 2019).

The external factors include the introduction of government policy that affects the healthcare system such as the insurance policy. This affects patients emotionally and psychologically. Secondly, there is the political instability that leads to strikes and demonstrations in the country and the health workers are forced to stay away from the healthcare facilities. This affects the health of the patients and they are dissatisfied with the services offered in the hospital. Inflation also affects the satisfaction of the patients and the employees because it leads to an increase in prices leading to the financial crisis.

One of the roles of crisis management is to enhance employee and patient satisfaction. It aims at ensuring that both the employees and the patients are satisfied with the healthcare system. This will lead to high productivity among the employees and a faster healing process among the patients. The change process will lead to the effective management of the healthcare facility since the employees and the patients will be comfortable with how the operations of the facility are being carried out (Golovanov & Kulikova, 2018).

One of the elements of crisis management is to identify the roles and responsibilities of the team. Every member of the team is given the responsibility to enhance better management of the team. The second element identification of the process to be followed. The crisis management will also involve an Effective Incident Action Planning skills. The skills will enable the team to achieve the set objectives. Lastly, there is effective team communication which ensures that the communication channels are being developed.

1.- Strengths-based leadership Theory:

The earliest theories of leadership were the Great Man Theories, which emerged in the late 1800s. For many of us, our first understanding of leadership may have aligned with these theories: leaders were often men with dominant personalities. We still see this theory at play unconsciously today, when someone is overlooked for a leadership role because of a quiet personality.

Leadership: “a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”. (Nsorthouse, P.G. (2016). This definition makes clear that leadership is not a trait or behavior, and it is not a position. It would be a good point to put emphasis on the fact that you’re not made a leader by your job title, you’re made a leader by your influence.

As in any other company, my workplace is a constantly changing work environment where employees now face increasing levels of stress, change and uncertainty. Disengagement, absenteeism, interpersonal conflict, lowered productivity and turnover are a consequence. Under these conditions, it is not enough for our leaders to simply be task focused, delegating, running effective meetings, and monitoring performance. Our leaders also need to think about how they engage, inspire us and develop their people to be resilient and to flourish – despite the day-to-day challenges we might face. Strengths-based leadership enables leaders to bring out the best in themselves and others by igniting their core character strengths. The focus on strengths is all about understanding and building on an individual’s best opportunities for success.( Rath, Tom, and Barry Conchie; 2018)

2.- In nursing, a host of problems can arise for both the individual and company when there is a myopic focus on strengths without any consideration of weaknesses and other risks to performance. Some of these include:

· A work culture where people think they only need to focus on their natural strengths to be effective resulting in an abdication of responsibility in areas of non-strength.

· An avoidance of performance problems and fatal flaws that can derail a person’s performance and career.

· A failure to improve in areas of non-strength to achieve one’s full potential.

· Lopsided development where people use their strengths too much or in the wrong way, leading to overdrive behaviors and poor performance. Welch, D., Grossaint,K., Reid, K., & Walker, C. (2015).
