Leadership is among the nine characteristics critical to the success of a clinical microsystem. It also has an influence on other factors impacting safety, such as patient focus, culture, and staff focus. Therefore, when a leader does not exhibit the behaviors and attitudes necessary for promoting high-quality, safe care, it may have an adverse impact on patient safety. In cases when leaders themselves provide unsafe care, the staff should report them immediately to protect patients. Personally, I would feel justified in reporting my superior for providing unsafe care when their behaviors constitute a violation from an objective viewpoint. For example, if they go against hospital procedures and regulations, thus putting patients at risk, I would report them immediately. Additionally, I would feel justified telling on my superior if their actions caused harm to the patient, regardless of whether or not there was a violation. In cases where no harm came to the patient and my superior did not go against any official rules or policies, I would not feel comfortable reporting them for unsafe care.
