I would like to write a paper on

The most effective leadership style when leading a health care team and Is there any relationship between leadership style in healthcare settings and quality of care?

Abstract and Thesis statement will be due by June 7.

You’ll produce a minimum of a 6-page research paper on a health care leadership challenge of your choosing. It will be presented in standard APA research paper formatting guidelines and include at least three properly formatted references. The title page and reference page are not included in the 6 page requirement.

Abstract and Thesis statement will be due by June 7.

For this initial part of the assignment, you will produce a thoughtful thesis statement on a topic of your choice. Remember that you will probably modify your thesis… your research and writing will help to guide your ideas. Follow the guidelines present below to further develop and present your thesis proposal, and the initial draft of your paper. All of these components should be present in the draft of your paper. However, for June 7, only the Abstract and Thesis Statement are required.

Be sure to have a clear identifiable thesis. You will want to take a strong position on your topic… “The Pros and Cons of X Leadership Style” is not a sufficient analysis. Instead, you should take a position on the merits of the leadership principle or practice implemented or illustrated by the topic you choose. Set out to either prove or disprove something.
