Your Desired Healthcare Setting: Laboratory Services
Achieve: Share why you hope to achieve this role (Why did you select this role?) To continue to climb the corporate ladder.

Requirements: Discuss if there will be any additional requirements that you will need to complete prior to seeking this role and your timeline for completing these requirements. (Are there educational, licensure, or experience requirements that must be completed prior to achieving this role?) Yes, I will need to have a bachelor’s degree which I am currently in the process of getting.
Professional Style: Share how your selected management type, philosophy or theory from the Week 1 information can be applied to your desired future role and healthcare setting and share a leadership style, theory, or model that you plan to embrace from the Week 5 information to your desired future role and healthcare setting. (The management and leadership styles, philosophies, theories can be different from the ones you discussed during the class, as this information should reflect your professional approach for your future career.)
Peter Drucker’s theory showed managers how strategizing is more beneficial than supervising and this has been working for many years. The leadership style that I plan to embrace is theory “z”.
