Instructions:
This assessment requires you to apply leadership skills and strategies explored in the subject as a
team. You will be divided into groups or team of 4-5 members. The teams will be provided a
public health scenario in which collaboration and change management is required. The scenario
will describe a public health related problem where a change is required, and different types of
leadership roles are in consideration. Your task is to apply knowledge from this subject and
critical thinking on how to respond to this scenario as a team.
Note:.
There are two parts to this assignment: Part 1 is a Group Presentation (30%), and Part 2 is an
Individual Reflection task (20%).
Focusing on the challenges in the scenario, each team will present an analysis of how leadership,
power, ethics and values affect each other and subsequently, provide strategies for collaboration and
effective change management. (Please note that each scenario has to be addressed by the team
focusing on that specific context)
You need to discuss 3 aspects from the perspective of your team leadership level:
1. Power: In the context (scenario provided), what type of power do you have as a team? Over
whom do you have this type of power? What values should you hold, and what ethical
considerations should you be aware of?
2. Collaboration and empowerment: With whom do you need to collaborate as a team? What
strategies (plans of action) can you use to facilitate collaboration? How can you empower the
people you lead? How can you have good governance (sharing responsibility, accountability
and power)?
3. Change: What strategies (plans of action) could you use to facilitate change management to
respond effectively to the scenario?
Note: It is mandatory that each group member will present (speak).
Reflect on your experience of working with the other group members to prepare your presentation.
Focus on answering these questions in your own words:
