According to the leading scholar, New Zealand "has a lot to be proud of" of the government's impressive COVID-19 response, and other policymakers are struggling to control its spread.
Suza Wilson, senior Massey University lecturer from January to March, examined the government-led policy of the Jasinda Arderan-led COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus virus.
This study identifies a set of key leadership practices that guide the government's successful response to the virus, suggesting that the research is "transferable" and of global relevance.
According to research, Dr. Wilson's research into the 'epidemiological leadership model' can be used by any leader to control the spread of the virus.
According to his analysis, the government has been guided by the main goal of harming New Zealand's people and livelihoods and has helped the country navigate the COVID-19 outbreak with fewer casualties compared to other countries.
"When we start comparing what is happening in other countries, we should be proud that the government has embraced it [in particular] and is clearly relieved," he told NewsHub.
Identifying the purpose provided a strong foundation for effective leadership in the midst of the health crisis and helped unify Kiwis with a shared vision of a clear path.
Doctor. The leadership model developed by Wilson has three main components: initiating expertise, mobilizing, and countering collective efforts.
Led by specialization
New Zealand's response has been met by leading healthcare professionals, Dr. Wilson said governments should accept that they are not experts in the matter and are willing to take advice and listen. Scientific facts and evidence can be used to guide their decision making, which is an important aspect of effective epidemic leadership.
According to the study, "the consequences of ignoring or slowing down such suggestions are now apparent in countries where the spread of the virus is not possible".
Doctor. "Leaders listen to the words of other experts to put aside their expertise, not knowing that they know everything," Wilson told NewsHub.
Mobilize the collective effort
Mobilizing collective efforts involves adopting the measures needed to inform, educate, and consolidate the public - and explain why these actions are important.
Leaders need to be sympathetic to actions that are disruptive - such as social disturbances - that are on people's lives. Preventing reactivity to interrogation and avoidance is also important to initiate a collective effort, as it helps to demonstrate genuine concern and authenticity.
For example, public health messages such as good health hygiene and social disturbances are reinforced in government statements and in health press conferences almost daily. Director-General of Doctor. Mainly hosted by Ashley Bloomfield, the media briefing - which went live to the public - has provided the latest update on the outbreak and response to New Zealand's COVID-19. Questions were finally welcomed by journalists to consider leaders.
“Having reliable and timely information will lay the foundation for a shared understanding of the nature of issues and what to do about them if mobilized for collective effort - and helps build trust,” The Study.
Ability to compete
Getting started with copywriting involves leaders who help people plan ahead, develop knowledge and skills to get out of the epidemic, and help them realize uncertain turbulent times. Kindness and constructive responses to compassion are also important as they encourage and model new ways to live life during the ‘new normal’.
For example, the alert-level outline clearly shows what New Zealanders can expect at every stage of the response, says Dr. Said Wilson. Based on the Health Ministry's daily press conference and Ardern's frequent briefings, the public was informed of what was to come and how to prepare for the change.
The study says, "It is subject to ongoing expansions about permitting activities at every level, but it is an important tool that helps to prepare for what constitutes a level of vigilance." "
"All of these measures are capable of planning - and can also serve to build trust by providing transparency in government decision-making."
The study suggests that these three exercises not only help leaders to take appropriate steps to address the epidemic but also increase public confidence in their commitment and efficiency.
