The oncologist is demonstrating the leadership element of enabling others to act by encouraging other members to take on the leadership role and support patients in their decision making with the team.Inspiring a shared vision would be demonstrated by having the members focus on patient-specific goals and helping bring the ideas together in an agreed-upon plan with the patient.Challenging the process would be demonstrated by reflecting on how the team is working together and making needed changes.Encouraging the heart would be demonstrated by recognizing the positive work of all team members,including the patient,toward meeting patient-set goals.
