Healthcare environment requires effective leadership that can foster better health care outcomes among patients. To realize better healthcare outcomes, public health leaders must play a fundamental role in shaping the healthcare environment in a manner that can enhance efficient medical outcome (Vernon, 2014). Healthcare is one of the most important sectors in any given economy since the productivity of any nation is highly dependent on how healthy its population is. In the changing healthcare environment, effective leadership is required of healthcare leaders so as to foster better health care outcomes within communities. It is imperative to note that leaders acquire different leadership traits some of which are necessary for ensuring effective and efficient public health leadership (Vernon, 2014). My leadership assessment in Jung Typology indicates that I possess judging personality in my leadership style.

Focusing on the judging personality, this approach of leadership entails organizing and prior planning to achieve the organizational goals and objectives. Individuals with judging personality tend to get their sense of control through taking charge of their environment and making first choices. It is one of the most important leadership traits that foster effective leadership outcome within any healthcare setting. Leaders are required to be self-disciplined and decisive (Hautala, 2006). Leaders with judging leadership traits are often self-discipline and seek closure in all decisions that they make about the organization. Judging leaders are particular, and when they ask for something, they often mean it and require their followers to cooperate. Judgers approach life in a more structured way than perceivers. In their leadership style, they often need people to cooperate and work towards the realization of the organizational goals and objectives. Within the healthcare setting, the primary goals and objectives of the corporate leaders are to foster efficient health care outcome among the diverse population. Patients expect their organizational leaders to work towards satisfying their health care needs and this is what judgers do within any healthcare setting (Hautala, 2006).

From the Jung Typology leadership personality assessment, it is evident that I have moderate preference of extraversion over introversion. It was also clear that I have distinct preference of intuition over sensing, at the same time, I have slight preference of feeling over thinking and distinct preference of judging over perceiving. Below is an in depth discussion of the four aspects of my personality as revealed from the assessment.

Extravert

This is the first psychological preference of Jung typology personality types. According to Jung, extraversion and introversion refer to the attitudes people use to direct their energy. An extravert source and directs his or her energy mainly in the external world. Extraverts will tend to be more into associating with people in the outer world and in this case these people will always be outgoing and relate more effectively with groups (Hautala, 2006). These people feel more comfortable working in groups and have a broad range of friends. The assessment revealed that I have 44% extraversion which is a moderate preference of extraversion over introversion. In this case, this personality trait will help a great deal in improving population health as they foster productive relationship necessary for improving healthcare outcome among the population.

Intuitive

Intuition and sensing are the second criteria on the Jung typology personality assessment, and they represent the techniques by people perceive information. My assessment revealed that I have 59% intuition I tend to believe on information received through assessment and evaluation in making decisions and not direct information from the external world. It is important to undertake a thorough examination of the information received from the external so as make rational and well-informed decisions (Hautala, 2006).

Feeling

Feeling versus thinking is the third criterion in the Jung typology and represents how an individual processes information. Thinking, in a nutshell, means that a person makes decision through the use of logic and not a mere sense of feeling. On the other hand, the feeling is where by an individual makes decisions based on his or her feelings and emotions. From my assessment, I possess 12% feeling meaning that I rely mostly on logical thinking when making decisions (Hautala, 2006). It is important to think logically in regards to the underlying scenario when making any decision within the organization. Building on feeling may result from making irrational decisions that may impact negatively on the organization.

Judging

This is the last criterion in Jung typology, and it represents how an individual implements the information that has been processed within the external environment. As noted above, judging is all about how an individual organizes himself including his life events and sticks to his or her plans for making decisions within the organization (Hautala, 2006).
