A Systematic Leadership Analysis

* This article spoke of the positions of power between men and women, and how policymakers and supervisors distribute that power to men and women. In the work place, when considering for advancement, employers have undefined criteria such as personality characteristics and potential managerial qualities. These standards become the cause of inequality in authority and power at work place. Jobs that are available for women have low wages and also less authority. Similar research studies have shown parallel points, in that inequality is found at the workplace because of such gender based

Student Answer: The best leader I ever had was a man named Joe. I worked at a grocery store throughout high school. He was the assistant manager and typically worked nights. I was a part-time employee, typically working nights and weekends, so I spent many shifts working under Joe. He was a great leader for many

There are a lot of people out there in leadership positions, but not many that really exemplify the true qualities of a leader. While conducting this interview I asked L.A. what she thought the true qualities of a leader was and was pleasantly surprised to learn that she had very high standards when it comes to her idea of leadership characteristics. The first two things she touched on where people skills and patient care because she believes those go hand in hand. Without the skills to communicate effectively with the patients there is no point in caring for them at all. Another huge quality for L.A. is she believes in straight forward honesty, and integrity. If you are straight forward from the beginning with staff whether the news good or bad then they will learn to trust you and they know they can count on what you say, being the nice guy all the time and sugar coating everything you are

Martin Luther King, Florence Nightingale, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks. These are all leaders the United States population has followed in the past. Being a leader does not mean you must be known by the world, but it does require certain characteristics. Leadership qualities include focusing on the future to see a change, bringing possibilities to a negative situation, adapting oneself based on the environment, and communicating effectively. Throughout my work experience I have seen leader qualities in different people and situations. Leading in the nursing or healthcare field can be challenging as it is often the patient's life on the line. As a leader, it is important to be able to differentiate between being a

For my interview this week in Systematic Theology class assignment, I had the privilege to speak with a friend who was an elder leader at the church I used to attend. His name is Pastor Ken Barr, a Bachelor in Psychology at Regent University in 2014. I have known Pastor Ken for over three years of my walk with God. He is also one of the leaders who taught the new disciples of the church, who wanted to learn how to become future disciple leaders. I had the privilege of learning many things through his ministry, even Theology of God’s nature. He was also the one who guided me to explore the study of Christian Ministry in Regent University two years ago. I consider him my Mentor. On Monday November 7, 2016 we set up a meeting on Facebook

This Leadership Theory and Practice class was not at all what I expected it to be, which is great. I had heard of other people who had taken this class previously with different professors and how all they did was write papers and honestly, hardly learned anything about leadership. This class thankfully had an easy work load which helped with my senioritus, but still challenged me to think about different leadership styles, concepts, and what it truly means to be a leader. I was able to hear the views of many other people especially those who were also in the class, but also from the different people we had interviewed for the assignment we had to present on. I learned a lot about leadership and I learned a lot about myself in a leadership

Helen, I totally agree “that as a leader, you have to love and care for those you lead.” I believe that everyone who puts effort in good patient care should be recognized and given the credit for. I have seen leaders who just pat their own backs for meeting certain goals in patient care and ignore those who put the most effort in the patient care. For an example, I know a leader who set deadlines to meet patient goals and once the goals were met, she never brought up the names of the people who worked hard and the manager ended up with big check while others were just given pizza for her celebration. To me that is a bad leadership. To become a good leader, we must recognize all the hard work RN’s and CAN’s put in.

An effective leader can create a working environment that satisfactorily supports the staff members so he or she can productively perform in his or hers’ assignments. The top three characteristics of an effective leader are the ability to communicate well, fairness to everyone on the team and are knowledgeable in his or hers’ field of practice. An effective leader must be able to communicate well with others to maintain and promote open communication among the team. When leaders deal with employee conflict, an effective leader is fair. These leaders motivate their nursing staff to work toward a greater good in creating a positive change (Dunham & Klafehn, 1990). An effective leader should be knowledgeable about his or her leadership role as well as those he or she is supervising.

To elaborate on what makes a good leader, I would like to highlight Tracy. She was one of the best bosses I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I learned about effective leadership while on her staff. Tracy was knowledgeable, and could answer questions about every position in our department. Occasionally, if she did not have an answer, she would find the information promptly. We were often short staffed, and Tracy would help keep the workflow running smoothly. She was kind, generous, and always looked out for others. She made sure we knew we were valued. Tracy was an approachable, caring boss, who helped tackle issues in any way she could. She was up-front and honest, which was welcome in difficult situations. She appreciated our creative problem

For transformational leadership I chose, Florence Nightingalea nurse in the 19th century who almost single-handedly changed the horrible conditions that existed in the nursing profession and in hospitals. Before she took control, the nursing profession barely provided any training. But with her outstanding administrative skills, she supported those who wanted to become nurses and worked toward her mission to provide competent health care for all which she felt was a basic human right. She was the first to be appointed to administer a group of nurses sent to care for soldiers during the Crimean War.

A leader is someone that believes in their vision as well as those they entrust to assist in the fulfillment of their vision. A good leader knows they cannot accomplish their goals alone and therefore are always developing others by equipping them to be leaders as well. My choice for leadership coaching is a gentleman who works at the hospital where my Aunt is a Registered Nurse. This gentleman has been a manager for their Critical Care Unit also known as Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for many years and holds a master degree, but he has recently been promoted to a leadership position as Hospital Administrator. This position is responsible for hiring, evaluating, recruiting and leading specialist doctors and nurses as well as consultant anesthetists,

Give an example illustrating a situation this semester during which you were able to apply an appropriate leadership model

Through-out my career I’ve worked with difficult leaders and I’ve also worked with leaders that have made an impressionable impact on my life. I have been able to see firsthand, the things that I don’t want to be like as a leader and also what I strive and desire to achieve as a leader. Good leaders are great coaches that are continuously looking to help their employees grow and succeed.

Employees always have a tendency of working hard to attain the level the respective organizations they work for expect of them so that they give a positive and a desirable outcome. This underscores the relationship that exists between employee expectation and outcome. It therefore implies that employees have to be motivated to give the desired outcome. Effort, performance, and outcome are the three main aspects of motivation. Effort has got much to do with encouraging employees to believe that when they put concerted effort in whatever duty they do, their performance will ultimately improve (Illuminations, 2002).
