Like in the law enforcement sector, authoritarian leadership is the one that would fit best in the current crisis situation. Under this leadership concept, it is easy for authority to be translated to the subjects who have little or no knowledge about the strategy being implemented (Dirani et al., 2020). Since there are times of emergency when lawlessness prevails because of the underlying frustrations of the victims of the situations, using authoritarian leadership would help to achieve the best implications.
Democracy would also be applied when dealing with other associated organizations such as the ARC, where their opinions would be considered in the implementation of the decisions on the basis of both majority and merit.
Ethical, Legal, and Decision-making Challenges
The primary decision-making challenge that would be encountered would be in the event that the limited resources make it hard to implement some of the decisions. For example, when choosing whether to compensate people in the field or train new staff in preparation of the future similar situations, it is likely to be challenging to arrive at the decision of best fit.
Ethical challenges that would result from the issue would be the decision of whether to attend to the ageing patients who are affected by the situation or the younger individuals who currently have a chance to improve society in future. Also, the ethical dilemma of whether or not the agency should consider serving those with financial resources during things such as vaccination against the Covid-19 pandemic over those who need the services more is prevalent (Dückers et al., 2017).
A legal challenge that could occur is the authorization of unlicensed nurses and other unlicensed personnel to complete healthcare operations in the environment such as prescribing medications.
