Leadership Delegation

Scenario

Leadership & Management Project Topics

Group 1:

Delegation:  A unit employs RNs, LPN’s and PCTs (patient care techs) to provide direct care.  The unit has had an issue with appropriate delegation.  The PCTs and LPNs report that they are being asked to perform more than their “fair share”, and things they should not do.  The RN’s state that they are the only ones who do anything, and every time they ask the LPNs and PCTs to do anything they are told the PCTs and LPNs are not allowed to perform the task.  The Unit manager recognizes that efforts to improve delegation need to be made.  Your task is to propose a plan for change to enhance the quality and practice of delegation on this unit.
