Author: Gwendolyn Gilbuena, DNP
- Know and Study the Problem: Strong leaders are very, very observant. Authentic, genuine leaders are usually quiet and can spot problems that need solutions and understand the nature of the problem. The leaders stay away from or avoid comments since it does not create a beneficial effect but only add to the noise. Remember, strong leaders are solution-based rather than making noise to a problem.
- Committed: Strong leaders will give their total commitment to the project from start to finish. Strong leaders know how to stand and never go backward. Leaders move forward, brave and excited to work with people and see the actual measures and results.
- Research: Strong leaders do not stop researching for solutions. Have you heard about how leaders do their assignments? This means that leaders find, read, and search again for solutions. Leaders are wise to gather all the solutions and dedicate their valuable time to study and see if the solutions they gathered will work in their respective organizations. Leaders will create and draw plans and write every single one from start to finish. Leaders will study this again and again and will refine it. Once Leaders become satisfied with the plans, they will execute them.
- Finish the Plans You Started: Executing important tasks is an essential quality of leaders in healthcare or any other organization. Leaders will not do any plans or projects that are ineffective. Soon, all the stacks can backfire in one just clash. Strong leaders have their entire focus, concentration, and dedication to their time and are not quickly interrupted or distracted.
- Know Your People: Leaders work with people. Leaders need to be wise enough to know each employee's essential characteristics and skills to function in respective departments in the organization. If this is not followed correctly, many legal terms can backfire on the leadership.

Strong leaders listen to the people's feedback and their contributions. People love to be part of something they can contribute to and any success inside their organization. People know that leaders' success is also their success as a team. Remember, no one is a successful man on an island.
- Follow-through: Good, strong leaders follow through with the plans they set. Leaders check and assist people or tasks that need minor fixing. Many leaders become super successful because they know how to follow up.
- Measurable Outcomes: Leaders will not set any plans without any measurable outcomes. Measurable outcomes are the purpose of the vital task. That is the measurement of the set plans initiated and output success.
- Maintenance: Leaders normally re-check the problem, set execution plans, follow through, measure, and check all the tasks that did not work out. The leaders know how to separate the workable and the non-workable. Also, the leaders know how to categorize the things that work out and those that do not. After all the critical analysis, the leaders will make a crucial decision to maintain the workable and eliminate the ones that do not work out.
- Decision Making: Strong leaders are courageous and responsible when making important decisions. They do not back off and want to see the results as possible. Leaders know the consequences of any mess and are very strong and quick to make another decision for a good solution. Leaders do not stop problem-solving and make strategies.
- Elimination: Strong leaders know and anticipate the process of elimination. Strong leaders do not second guess if the process or task is not working appropriately. Strong leaders do not hoard decisions or processes that are not working anymore. Leaders are brave enough to change those procedures that no longer fit the organization.
- Disseminate: Leaders know how to spread the wealth of their knowledge in a very bold way. Strong leaders are brave and bold enough to share those ideas without worrying about anything. Strong leaders think clearly that their powerful knowledge is constructive and beneficial to the success of the organizations they work for and serving people and the community.
- Sustainability and Replicability: Strong, genuine, authentic leaders are built with compassion to carry out any task or project they share with people. Strong, genuine, authentic leaders know how to explain in detail all the steps in guiding people in the organization. Leaders' careful plans for the problem solutions multiply their usefulness and beneficial ways in the organizations' micro, meso, and macro levels. Leaders do not think fewer benefits will defeat any purpose of their efforts to serve the people in the organization. Leaders' influential minds not only benefit from one, but it goes further into a massive benefit with long-term positive and successful effects everywhere they go.
