Managing clinical pharmacists and clinical pharmacy services.
One of the ironies in the use of power in today's management setting is that the manager of workers at a high level of readiness is actually giving more power to subordinates as a leadership strategy. Indeed, the empowered manager may achieve goals by shifting responsibility from the manager to the employee, providing a vision for subordinates, providing resources when possible, and providing the freedom to accomplish organizational goals. The challenge for the manager is to determine employee level of readiness and to assess that readiness for different assignments and varying responsibilities. Given the proper situation, the manager may paradoxically gain power (influence over others) by giving others a high degree of responsibility for their actions.
