Assignment briefs and guidance
Assignment Aim
The assignment aims to test your engagement with the learning
outcomes of the module and, in particular, asks you to apply theories
and principles of leadership to your own practice setting AND to
undertake a sustained and objective review of your own leadership
development needs.
Assignment Task
Your assignment for this module consists of two elements, submitted at
the same time but formally structured into two distinct sections. Section
One should be in the region of 2,500 words Section Two should be in
the region of 1000 words
Part 1: Drawing on relevant theories and research, critically compare the
similarities and differences between authentic and transformational
leadership and critically discuss how one these approaches could be
applied to support cohesion and improve performance of a health or
social care team (with which you are familiar).
Part 2: In terms of your own development as a transformational OR
authentic leader, explain and justify your own potential strengths and
development needs . What one SMART action could you take to further
your development as such a leader?
Learning Outcomes Assessed
All module learning outcomes are assessed by the assignment.
Assignment word count
The assignment should total 3500 (maximum word count). Words in
tables and grids is not included though any such tables and grids must
be kept concise and relevant. The reference list at the end of you work is
not included, but the references cited in the body of your text are.
It is important to keep to the word count, if you exceed this the following
penality will be applied

Over 10% lose 5 marks
Explaining your assignment brief – some useful guidelines
The assignment aims to test your engagement with the learning
outcomes of the module and, in particular, asks you to explore theories
and principles of leadership, identify and discuss your own views on this
and relate this to the practice setting
Assignment Task
As mentioned, your assignment for this module consists of two main
elements, submitted as a single essay, but formally structured into two
distinct sections. The first section should be in the region of 2,000 words.
The second section should be in the region of 1000 words. The
remaining approximate 500 words are for your introduction and
conclusion.
Part 1) Drawing on relevant theories and research, critically compare the
similarities and differences between authentic and transformational
leadership and critically discuss how one these approaches could be
applied to support cohesion and improve performance of a health or
social care team (with which you are familiar).
Note that the terms “critically” has been applied to these writing tasks as
we are are expecting you to draw strongly on the theoretical and
research /evidence based literature to support both your comparisons,
and also your application of theory to practice. By asking you to be
critical we are also asking you to take a mental step back and to
question and to have a view on what you read, its relevance and
significance to your topic and whether the arguments and claims made
are well argued and justified.
Part 2) In terms of your own development as a transformational OR
authentic leader, explain and justify your own potential strengths and
development needs . What one SMART action could you take to further
your development as such a leader?
Note that to help self assess your potential strengths, development
needs in terms of being an authentic or transformational leader, you will
need to use the relevant leadership literature as a reference point and
then draw on different sources of self knowledge e,g through feedback
and self reflection.
SUGGESTIONS/ IDEAS FOR WRITING THE ASSIGNMENT
Please note that the following guide below presents just one way that
you could use to approach your assignment. You are very welcome to
LM Aug 2018
approach the assignment a different way provided that you meet the
assignment brief written above and demonstrate that you have met the
marking criteria. Do talk with your seminar leader about your ideas and
submit your draft for feedback.
Introduction
This sets the context for the reader, shows why this is an important topic
and explains the the aims and contents of the assignment and the order
in which these will be presented. It is useful to draft this and at the end of
your assignment check that you have covered what you stated that you
would do
Your introduction may include…
Justification of the assignment topic e.g.:
A statement about Leadership, its importance and why it is needed
within the health/ social care sector – cite some current issues, literature
sources to support this.
Why (briefly) leadership is relevant to you, your profession, your
development
What the assignment will be covering and how it will do this
Signpost the reader to the next section of your assignment
Part 1 of the assignment
Then, in the main body of section one, you first need to:
Explain how the concepts of authentic and transformational leadership
emerged – i.e. when and how these ideas arose in the field of leadership
and the similarities and differences you have identified between the two.
NB comparison tables can be included to summarize these, BUT you
must still critically explain your view of the similarities and differences in
words using the literature to support your perspective (as mentioned
above). An interesting point of comparison that you might wish to
include is the degree to which these leadership approaches have been
researched and anything that you can find out about the quality of
evidence subsequently produced.
The next step is to describe, without breaching confidentiality, a health or
social care team that you have known*, and outline what you think are
important about the team’s strengths and weaknesses, particularly
regarding the degree/nature of cohesiveness and aspects that affect this
(e.g.around interpersonal/ interdisciplinary practice coordination,
communication, social cohesion) and performance (e.g around
delivering care/services effectively and efficiently, on time, to the extent
needed, meeting the patients/ clients/ other colleagues/ stakeholders
needs).
LM Aug 2018
*NB Should you not know a team on which to base your discussion,
please use the team scenario further down this section
Then, using your knowledge of your selected leadership theory,
supported by the relevant literature on this and teams, critically discuss
how this leadership approach could be applied, e.g. in what sort of
circumstances, by whom, in which areas and so on – in order to improve/
address the team’s problems and / or build on strengths.
Finish the discussion by summarizing your ideas and how these could
be taken forwards realistically
Part two of the assignment
Explain where you are in your own career and development and what
your aspirations are in terms of leadership.
Assess where you have reached in terms of being a transformational OR
authentic (AL) leadership – one way you could do this might be to identify
/list the aspects say of authentic leadership and then “score/rate”
yourself against each aspect of AL and also give each of these aspects a
score for how important it is for you in your career/ at you current stage
of personal development.
You would then be able to identify, both where you could develop in this
leadership approach but also what you priorities are
More simply, you draw up a personal SWOT against the elements of AL
or transformational leadership and again justifying the evidence for your
self assessment and discuss which would be a key priority for you to
work on and why.
Whichever way you have analysed your development needs, the final
stage will be to create a simple SMART (Specific Measurable Attainable
Relevant Time- based) plan to take one of your leadership development
priorities forward and make them happen over e.g. the next 6-12 months
Conclusion
Remember to add a conclusion right at the end of your paper that
summarises what you have covered in the assignment and a few key
learning points that you would like to highlight

OPTIONAL TEAM SCENARIO AVAILABLE FOR USE IN YOUR
ASSIGNMENT
* This scenario can be used for the following section in your essay,
should you not have a team that you are familiar with …
LM Aug 2018
“critically discuss how one these approaches could be applied
to support cohesion and improve performance of a health or social care
team (with which you are familiar)”.
Team Scenario: A Psychological Services Team in the North East of
England
The psychological services team is based in a Mental Healthcare NHS
Trust in the North East of England. It has responsibility for delivering a
mix of specialist in/outpatient clinical services, plus training and
education to a variety of people both within the Trust and external to it.
The external services bring much needed income which not only
supports the department but also provides a valued income stream to
the rest of the Trust
The team and the service it provides is well established, having been in
existence for over 20 years For much of this period it has held a
reputation of national and international excellence based on the quality
and degree of expertise of the staff, however recent feedback from those
receiving the service indicates that there are now issues about the
quality of the services and their value for money compared to other
competitors. Performance in terms of activity levels and income has also
decreased to the point that yearly targets have not been met for the last
two years . The incoming manager (who took over the team less than a
month ago) notes that, if nothing changes, this trend will continue and
this is likely to strengthen the Directorate’s and some members of the
Trust Exec’s current question of whether this service should remain in its
current form or be disbanded and resources distributed elsewhere. She
is determined to help the team get back on track and be ready for future
challenges that emerge within the Trust and from mental health services
more broadly.
The manager has identified a number of practical, systems and process
issues that need to be addressed (not all of which will be popular!) and
beyond this, the requirement for more significant and strategic change,
that both responds to the Trusts needs and provides a suitable direction
for the service.
A little more information about the team ….
Team profile and context
There are 12 people in this team, 4 admin staff and 8 clinicians, of which
2 are nurses and the rest psychologists.
All the team except 2 work part time ranging from 0.3 Whole Time
Equivalent (WTE) to 0.8 WTE.
Though the psychological services team has been in existence for about
20 years, the number of years the current individuals have been part of it
LM Aug 2018
varies. About a third have been in the team for more than 10 years, a
third for between 5 and 10 years and a third have been with the team for
less than 5 years.
90% hold a role that incorporate education and training both within the
trust and external to it. 10% have a purely clinical role. All are female
10% are in the later stages of their career, 80% mid-career and 10% are
just starting off
All are based on the same hospital site, though 4 are in one location, 2
in another and 6 are in a third location.
Current Team issues
There are major differences generally between nurses and psychologists
both in their opinions about clinical and organisational matters and about
how both of these should be approached . This often leads to
convoluted, terse dialogues at meetings or via email trails, with issues
going round in circles, actions being blocked and nothing being resolved.
The nurses , who feel significantly undervalued, tend to keep quiet at
meetings, unless it is to criticise the way things are being dealt with. The
psychologists state that they have tried to involve the nurses but to no
avail.
Overall, participation levels across the whole team vary significantly e.g.
at meetings and team away days, with just a small cluster of the same
people getting involved nearly every time. Those who do get involved
say that they feel frustrated that they are taking most of the initiative and
responsibility. They have been overheard discussing that this had lead to
a clear imbalance in the distribution of workload, that this is unfair and
their dissatisfaction with the situation is now leading them to withdraw
their good will and flexibility to respond to new work coming in. They are
also starting to take opportunities to criticize the other staff in staff
meetings who, in turn, vigorously defend their level of achievements
within the team.
Divisions are also showing between psychologists in certain specialist
areas who protect their own expertise and involvement, preventing
others from being involved.
There are clear rifts between admin and clinical staff. Admin grumble
that clinicians are not following the department’s requirements and
guidelines, which doubles their workload and causes confusion and
embarrassment when they have to communicate with others members
of the Trust to “sort the mess that the clinicians have created”. Clinicians
see the admin staff as being totally inflexible in their demand and not
understanding what clinicians have to deal with. There has been an
LM Aug 2018
incident where a member of admin staff lost their temper with one of the
psychologists, shouted (as described by a psychologist present at the
time) abusive comments and left the building for the rest of the day.
External Pressures
Issues are not only from inside the team. Year on year cost improvement
requirements mean that the services have to run on less and less funds
each year, at the same time, the pressure to increase activity and
income continues to rise. The Trust has also made efforts to change the
skills mix , downgrade a number of posts on the basis that the service
should be offering lower level psychological services as these would still
meet patient need and would be supported by commissioners. Despite
these challenges being raised twice over the last three years, this has
been resisted by service on the basis that quality would be compromised
and that it would curtail career progression and lead to subsequent
problems in retention and recruitment. However the team has still had to
accept fairly radial restructuring and a new “round” of this restructuring is
now imminent, leading to uncertainty about the shape of the new
service and peoples roles and opportunities within this.
