Abstract:
Developing transformational leadership is an integrated and ongoing process reflecting the political, social-economical and contextual influences on one´s learning. Athletic Trainers and other health care professionals are not only expected to demonstrate a high level of skill competency, but also serve in important roles as patient educators, preceptors, and organizational leaders requiring highly effective interpersonal skills. While skill expertise is often a high priority when hiring personnel, it is their experience and worldview that greatly impacts their ability to connect with patients and other healthcare providers to effectively deliver high quality health care as part of a team. The Value Orientation Inventory (VOI), described by Ennis & Hooper in 1988, was developed to evaluate how physical educators prioritize content to be delivered in their teaching curriculum based on their values. After subsequent studies, the instrument was shortened and construct definitions expanded to include six value orientations representing disciplinary mastery, learning process, self-actualization, ecological integration, social responsibility and social justice. Individuals can exhibit each of these orientations in varying degrees and their profile can change over time as experience impacts both personal and professional development. Therefore, identifying one´s value orientation profile can be a powerful tool to guide leaders in the organizational success of an interprofessional healthcare team.
