What type of leadership is showcased in HOSA’s events?

The type of leadership showcased in HOSA’s events is servant leadership. This approach emphasizes the leader's role as a servant to the team, prioritizing the needs and development of others over their own ambition. In the context of HOSA, this leadership style fosters collaboration, mentorship, and empowerment among members, which aligns with the organization’s mission to develop future healthcare professionals and leaders.

Servant leadership focuses on creating a supportive environment where members are encouraged to take initiative, share ideas, and develop their own leadership skills. This not only enhances individual growth but also promotes a sense of community and teamwork within the organization, as leaders actively work to elevate those around them. This is particularly important in HOSA, where teamwork and collective success are fundamental to achieving goals in healthcare and leadership development.

In contrast, other leadership styles like transformational and transactional leadership may prioritize different elements, such as vision and reward structures, while autocratic leadership may not consider team input and collaboration. This makes servant leadership the most fitting representation of the values and practices emphasized in HOSA’s events.
