Read the assigned chapters and the Broadnax article”see the Note below “. In this real life example of an organizational development challenge, the leaders at both Providence Hospitals and St. Vincent Charity Medical Center articulated the objective as “to create an environment where employees could maximize their contributions and performance”. In addition, each of the hospitals emphasized different leadership challenges.

Broadnax describes her approach and explains what did and did not work.
