What are the paradoxes Sandra is confronting while trying to provide clinical care and doing the business of the department?
What is the emerging power of the informal system? Has the core group changed the dynamics of leadership and the movement of change?
What is the relationship between the larger organization (larger, complex system) and the department (smaller complex system), and how would you manage the tension between them?
What are the elements of competition and collaboration that are reflected in the departmental goals and staff activities?
What leadership style would best support Sandra in this situation?
