Create a 10-12-slide PowerPoint presentation that communicates a leadership plan to address financial gaps within your organization. To remain viable, health care organizations need leaders who can meet financial targets by effectively leading their teams. Whether you work for a nonprofit, for-profit, or government facility, financial goals and targets will influence your leadership priorities. These internal benchmarks, when considered with respect to finite, available resources, create leadership challenges for maintaining fiscal and clinical balance. You may recall a quote from Irene Krause, who started the idea of “No Margin, No Mission.” So, regardless of what your corporate structure might be, all leaders must contribute towards the financial health and profit margin of the organization. Select and identify two financial targets for your department, along with the performance indicators and measurements. For example: x% compliance with coding, 90% + rating for patient satisfaction scores (on a 1–5 scale), 5% profit margin for service line Y, and so on. Look for professional or scholarly journal articles on characteristics of effective team leaders and strategies for leading effective teams. You will need a minimum of five articles to use as resources for this assessment. Create a PowerPoint presentation you could present to internal executive stakeholders. The presentation needs to briefly and succinctly communicate your leadership plan to address financial gaps you have identified within your department. Organize your PowerPoint slides in a way that makes sense for your organization. Be sure your slides include the followingWrite an overview of the environmental analysis from Assessment 1, with a financial focus.
The two identified financial targets for your department, along with the performance indicators and measurements.
A gap analysis of financial targets versus YTD performance or goal attainment. Include your observations, trends, and insights.
An evidence-based leadership plan to address the identified gaps.
Analyze the organizational culture and strategic direction, along with strategies for leading your departmental team that consider your strengths and are supported by credible professional resources. You may include team incentives such as profit sharing, or other benefits (tuition reimbursement, seminars, software, HFMA memberships, and other incentives) to motivate your team.
Include your leadership style, the method that you use or will use with your team, and inclusion of evidence-based leadership approaches. You may choose to organize your slides in the following fashion:

Objective: Example – “Leadership plan to support goal attainment of organizational targets.” Customize to fit your needs.
Environmental Analysis (1–3 slides): SWOT analysis from Assessment 1 synthesized down to 3–5 bullet points with salient, high-impact, relevant points. You may also wish to conduct a PEST analysis to help inform your development of points.
