An increase in patient acuities, readmissions, and requirement for patient satisfaction among other issues has created a greater need for more registered nurses in the hospital setting. Quality and safe patient care is a direct correlation to the number of staff. With the demand of nurses on the rise, some health care institutions have not readjusted the nurse-patient ratios and the result is decreased patient satisfaction, increased mortality/morbidity in patients, more health care associated infection, and decreased employee satisfaction; leading to burnout and decreased staff

believe that I will bring to my leadership positions. The main gift that I will bring is my ability to listen to anyone. No matter what the problem is, big or small, I am always available to listen. I believe that being a good listener is a great quality. These retreats really force you to open up and talk about things that you really do not want to talk about. However, when you do finally get comfortable tot talk you are going to want a good listener there to support you. I like to think that even the smallest problems or stories I am always listening. With a good listener, you are always going to need a person who is good at giving advice. I know that if I am selected to be a retreat leader I will try my hardest to give good advice. With

Identify and explain a workplace leadership and management role familiar to you. Describe how the role aligns with leadership theory.

In the opening of this paper the below description of the need for strategic leadership and the difficulty in defining it can both be seen. In Becoming a Strategic Leader: Your Role in Your Organization 's Enduring Success by Richard L. Hughes and Katherine Colarelli Beatty define this difficulty beautifully in their opening. The book opens with a description of the difficulty of learning to surf. As you stand looking at the beautiful ocean, you move to begin paddling out through the waves only to fail each time at getting up and successfully riding a wave all the way to shore. It speaks of trying and practicing at home, only to be thrown when the "moment ' counts. The imagery of attempting to learn to surf and failing due to a lack of

Leadership comes with responsibilities. Taking an organization to places it has never been, through new ideas and change, aids in building a responsible organization. Effective leaders tend to surround themselves with a group of individuals with different perspectives and not necessarily like themselves. Moving into a leadership role often involves letting go of some of the assignments and responsibilities held in the past. As the leader, enable others to deliver results and complete tasks. The work may get done faster and more effectively if the leader is involved, but enabling others to deliver results will lead to a more productive and cohesive team. Each individual possesses their own unique traits and abilities used to provide results for their team. Team members need confidence from their leader that allows them to accomplish goals that have been asked of them. Leaders should help create a comfortable environment for their colleagues, who in turn, enjoy coming to work

The best example of me being a leader is the fact that I have worked in a specific class that has helped me develop leadership skills: Yearbook. In Yearbook, I learned how to direct a staff of students to work on specific jobs that would eventually lead to the development of the Yearbook. During this class, it was my job to properly organize the responsibilities of upperclassmen, assign them specific events to cover, and even place the example of how some of the jobs were done.

This is an introduction to the Leadership Archetype Questionnaire (Kets de Vries, 2006b), introduced in Chapter 12 of the textbook “Leadership: Theory and Practice” by Peter Northouse (Northouse, 2016). The Leadership Archetype Questionnaire gauges a leader’s perception of his/her style of leadership by identifying the key leadership behaviors they display, based on different leadership prototypes (Northouse, 2016). The following is a brief summary of the resulting findings of the questionnaire, as well as a paragraph with a short assessment of the results. Finally, a brief analysis of the impact the characteristics of the psychodynamic approach might have on one’s personal leadership style.

Last semester I took the Leadership Skills Workshop class (LD 225) here at Blackburn. Dr. Wiedlocher was the professor for this class. She decided that the class was going to be based around helping the community here in Carlinville. We decided to help the Macoupin Center for the Developmentally Disabled, MCDD, here in Macoupin County. We decided to put together two fundraisers for us to reach our goal of purchasing floor scooters for the students at MCDD.

Throughout the modern era, we have had many individuals that have exemplified both great and terrible leadership qualities. Some pursue innovation, adhere to a strict moral code, or attempt to improve the life of millions through their company. There are others whose name cannot be mentioned without the word fraud coming shortly after due to their lack or a moral code. In fact, some the worst leaders in recent history, ruined the lives of thousands simply to make a profit. Perhaps the best way to illustrate this point of a moral leader compared in comparison to a corrupt one. The CEO and founder of the e-commerce giant Amazon.com, Jeff

Leading change within an organization and building a shared vision are essential elements in becoming an effective leader. Change and the adaptation of, is a vital part of everyday life and job function that can be viewed as ambiguous not only to the ones the change is affecting, but also by those implementing the change itself. An effective leader is able to develop the most effective way to implement such a change, and communicate the necessity of the change to all involved in the implementation. I have personal experience in determining what changes should be made for the operational integrity of the air traffic system, and experience in the implemenation of the changes.

As a curriculum leader who advocates for social justice, I must be aware and conscious of my perspectives, views, and biases to discuss issues on gender, race, class, sexual orientation and other social groups within my classroom (Milner, 2007). However, it will be difficult to emancipate my students if I am not emancipated (West, 1993). To begin my emancipation (1993), I reflect on my life experiences that have led me to my role as a curriculum leader so that I begin the process of knowing who I am (hooks, 1981). In addition, I discuss the theoretical concepts that have influenced my thoughts on gender and my identity as a curriculum leader. Furthermore, I delineate how I will navigate locally and particularly through

There are various forms of leadership. The varieties in leadership models accounts for the different types of people we see emerge as leaders with any given cause, movement or mission. Much of the research done on leadership all has one thing in common; and that is that leadership involves good management. This idea stems from the behavior period discussed in Chemers’ chapter “Contemporary Leadership Theory”. As we explored leadership models and current day practices, I began to think about how a leadership type is formed through a certain set of actions and practices. This semester, in addition to this course, I took a course on Mindfulness in Schools/Society. The more I learned about mindfulness practice, the more I thought about how it could be applied to leadership. This paper will explore the mindfulness leadership model and how it can be used.
