Leadership and Economic Models Economic stereotypes and leadership prototypes were critical facts which were analyzed during the practicum. Various leaderships skills were also developed and enhanced during this period. In particular, through the practicum, I developed skills in relation to decision-making. On the same note, communication skills were significantly improved since they were constantly needed while working with the hospice team (Forman, Jones, & Thistlethwaite, 2014). Through the development of communication capabilities, I was able to understand instructions given which were integral to the enhancement of the quality of life. Besides, collaboration and team- building skills were considerably enhanced. Health Disparities Health disparities were a significant concept which was learnt while working in Vitas Hospice.
