Becoming a Split-Department Manager
According to research, managers play challenging roles such as monitoring the workers as well as providing the required services to the clients. They are also expected to motivate staff in their departments. In health care, hospitals tend to have management levels in various departments to ensure the success of all the hospital programs. In recent times, organizations are undergoing a different level of changes resulting in mergers and acquisitions. Hence, creative leadership has become critical in ensuring the success of the organizations such as hospitals. The paper provides a case study on health care as well as how to become a split department manager.
Management roles require one to develop the required skills, personality traits and interests to ensure one is well suited to the position. However, the current organizations tend to operate in environments that are characterized by increased complexities. Split-management involves dense interdependence and unpredictable connections. Being a medical laboratory technician, the management level only falls under the department to ensure my services are within my profession. Becoming a split department manager in the 60-bed rural hospital will involve different aspects. First, I will ensure my interests, skills, and personality traits are aligned with the department goals to ensure am well suited for the position (Liebler & McConnell, 2012).

I will also develop the ability to motivate staff to achieve the targets in both departments. However, working in a split department requires the capacity to work in adverse conditions as well as dividing work time. Hence, I will improve the skills to work with different people and manage time between the departments as well as working shifts. One must also have the ability to adapt to different conditions and challenges within the departments (In Wickramasinghe, 2013). On the other hand, the position will require linking the strategic visions of the split department with the organization machinery. Developing an appropriate mission and realistic ways to achieve them will also help in successfully becoming a split department manager.
