This assessment aims to build on the learning outcomes for assessment 1 and apply the principles of effective leadership and change theory to a change strategy or performance improvement plan in the health care sector. The assessment asks students to consider the implications for capacity building and both personal and organisational level and the ways in which workplace culture may enhance or hinder the achievement of sustainable change outcomes. Students are asked to consider the role of the leader in developing workplaces that are flexible and able to meet the demands for change.
