The article anylyses the theoretical and methodological basis for the study of the problem of team leadership in the student environment: the importance of team formation in the student environment, the essence of the concept of "leadership", the psychological components of effective team leadership. Team leadership is seen as the ability of a leader to gain authority in one’s group, thereby gaining the primary right to make group decisions, as well as to recognize the strengths of others and delegate task management functions to others. Also, command leadership is seen as a process of allocating authoritative personalities in a group and facilitating them to develop leadership qualities of other members of the group, which leads to the emergence of coordinated teamwork. It is noted that tactics of the leader’s influence on the group can determine the effectiveness of team leadership. His typical actions, internal psychological features, ability to update the desired features in a specific situation. The authors consider the internal psychological features of students, which determine the command style of leadership, as follows: flexibility, originality, critical thinking, orientation to solving problems in difficult situations; desire for cooperation, diplomacy, ability to manage and resolve conflicts, organizational skills, communication skills; striving for self-development and self-improvement. The essence of the empirical study of the psychological components of effective team leadership in a student environment is highlighted.

Abstract Introduction During Covid-19 many staff members were redeployed to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with little opportunity to train in the new skills they would require. One such skill was the transfer of a critically ill, and contagious, patient from ICU; a risky and complicated procedure which requires planning, preparation, risk assessment, situational awareness and, ideally, experience. To assist our colleagues in this skill an existing ICU transfer course has been adapted to cover the Covid-19 situation, or any similar contagious pandemic, in patient transfer. Methods An in-situ simulation method was chosen as the most realistic method of immersing our participants into the environment of ICU and to highlight real-life complexities and issues they may face. A multidisciplinary training session was devised so that novice anaesthetists, ACCPs and nurses could learn together, reflective of the usual team. Human factors such as communication, team leadership, task management and situational awareness are the focus of the post-simulation debrief, and human factors sheets have been created to guide the participants in analysing these skills. Pre- and post-simulation confidence, knowledge and attitudes will be assessed using validated appraisal tools and questionnaires to gather both quantitative and qualitative data about the experience. Discussion Multidisciplinary training is often difficult to arrange, due to the different requirements, processes, and procedures each department demands. A hidden blessing of Covid-19 is the realisation that this barrier can be broken, for the benefit of our patients and colleagues alike, and training sessions like this implemented.

AbstractIn an attempt to facilitate the dissemination and regular implementation of behaviour treatments in real-world settings, research has examined staff attitudes that may pose barriers to these treatments. The purpose of the study reported in this paper is to examine the construct validity of perceived organisational barriers to behavioural programs. One hundred and eighteen staff working in community-based treatment programs for adults and children with severe mental illness completed the Barriers to the Implementation of Behavior Therapy Test. An analysis from a previous study (Corrigan, Kwartarini, & Pramana, 1992) identified two reliable and valid factors that suggested perceived organisational barriers: institutional constraints and insufficient collegial support. Results of a confirmatory factor analysis on data from this study supported the earlier factor structure. Research participants also completed team functioning measures of individual staff burnout, collegial network satisfaction, organisational culture, and team leadership. Attitudes about institutional constraints and insufficient collegial support were found to be associated with burnout, collegial network satisfaction, and organisational culture. Strategies for disseminating behavioural programs must target organisational barriers too.

Abstract Economy of the Czech Republic, just like the country’s ICT sector, underwent significant changes after 1990. The fall of socialism and transition to market economy had significant impact on development of ICT sector and its competitiveness. In the article, we analyze practical requirements in the field of strategic knowledge demanded from Chief Information Officers (CIOs). The analysis is based on a representative survey carried out among approximately 1,000 companies on the Czech market in 2006, 2010. The last survey in 2015 was performed in the form of interview in 147 corporations. The companies are divided by branch in economic sector, by dependence on ICT and by size. The requirements put on CIOs are divided into sixteen knowledge domains. The results of the survey indicate that ICT sector in Czech Republic has gone from centrally planned economy to almost advanced economy since 1990. This is evidenced by identified development of strategic knowledge and practical skills required from CIOs in Czech Republic between 2006, 2010 and 2015. Knowledge requirements on CIO’s degreased visible between year 2006 and 2015 but change between 2010 and 2015 is not noticeable. In general, we can say that requirements on CIO’s are in 2015 lower than in 2010 except domains like “Team leadership skills”, “IS/ICT knowledge”, “Knowledge in Business Sector” and “Law”.
