The Leadership Strengths

Therapeutic friendliness (friendly and open, making the client feel comfortable) can use by nurses prior to engage with the patient (Gardner, A. 2010). For a nurse, therapeutic relationship is necessary to conduct a work with the patient. However, maintaining professional boundaries is also an essential part of relationship, that allow a space for nurse and a client that is safe for both. Boundaries are the base of the therapeutic relationship. In my clinical experience, I have to manage my professional boundaries. I have managed my own emotional state (being emotional tidy) as well manage the level of emotional intimacy (Gardner, A. 2010) Here, me and my patient both are creating the boundary as the therapeutic relationship. Nurse also responsible to monitor and ensure the establishment of the boundary is safely

Every person’s needs must be recognized, respected, and filled if he or she must attain wholeness. The environment must attuned to that wholeness for healing to occur. Healing must be total or holistic if health must be restored or maintained. And a nurse-patient relationship is the very foundation of nursing (Conway et al 2011; Johnson, 2011). The Theory recognizes a person’s needs above all. It sets up the conducive environment to healing. It addresses and works on the restoration and maintenance of total

The ability and strength of an individual to achieve goals by supervising processes, guiding initiatives and employees is defined as Leadership skills. Valuable leadership skills include taking thoughtful decisions, allocation of resources, and the ability to delegate, inspire and communicate effectively. Other leadership traits include honesty, confidence, commitment and creativity. Leadership competencies can be used to effectively select, develop and promote leaders in an organization .The difference between Leadership Skill and leadership competency can explained as the required level of efficiency to perform a task assigned is known as skill whereas the quality to accomplish the same is called as competency. When creating leadership competencies certain factors are considered such as business strategies and future trends. To drive the use of competencies in selecting and developing leaders HR practitioners should use the business strategies. To effectively build a unique set of skills for the organization 's leaders, the firm will sustain competitive advantage. The role of a project manager has always been my interest. The position which I have always desired is a role of project manager.

Leadership is an important outcome of the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) program (Zaccagnini & White, 2014). Measurement tools are available that identify leadership style (Clark, 2010) and personal talents, called Signature Themes (Gallup, Inc., 2010). When leadership style and personal strengths are identified, they can be maximized to achieve success (Clark, 2010; Gallup, Inc., 2010). This paper provides both a framework about the importance of leadership in the DNP curriculum and several examples of how I will use my leadership style and Signature Themes to succeed in the DNP program.

Leadership theories in and of themselves carry negative and positives characteristics. Within the various theories lie strengths and weaknesses that when applied to complex problems can highlight each one respectively. As I examine a few theories, I will look at the strengths and weaknesses of each and determine when and with which situation would these theories best be utilized. Collective leadership or distributive leadership, and leader-member exchange are both theories that incorporate specific team or group mentalities.

Leads others involves influencing Soldiers or Army civilians in the leader’s unit or organization. This competency has a number of components including setting clear direction, enforcing standards, and balancing the care of followers against mission requirements so they are a productive

A key attribute that a practitioner should have to form interpersonal relationships with their client is emotional stability. A nurse can use emotional stability to keep a calm mental state during chaos. Emotional stability is necessary in the health industry because health professionals are generally more proactive and successful in terms of problem solving. Nurses show emotional stability by not getting overwhelmed frustrated, or upset during traumatic events. Professionals with higher emotional stability are less likely to react to stressful scenarios (Hsu, Chang & Teng, 2009). Medical professionals with emotional stability are important in the workplace because they are a strong, stable person that patients and their family can lean on when they feel as if everything is falling apart. Nurses are exposed to pain and suffering throughout their careers, and it’s important to have an emotional

The fact that my coach was able to calmly mediates, and negotiate a plan to tackle the issue was very interesting to witness. She not only displayed the practice of inspiring a shared vision (Kouzes & Posner, 2014) by reminding everyone that the main goal was to provide interdisciplinary patient centered care, but she also acted as the mediator that facilitated discussion, which is a key role in conflict management (Ralph, et al., 2013). After viewing how she handled the situation, I hope I can remind myself how important it is as a leader to take on the role as an objective mediator, who can empower colleagues to find solutions as a team. By doing so I can work towards guiding others towards a central goal, set an example for others and promote teamwork when working towards a change that can benefit all. All of which reflect the principles of conflict management and the practices of Modeling the Way, Inspiring a Shared Vision and Enabling Others to Act (Kouzes & Posner, 2014). In relation to patient care, conflict can be seen as a destructive factor that can create an unhealthy setting (Marcum,

Looking at the results from my Seven Habits profile, I generally score about the same across the board- other than one category. In the “Synergize” box I was very low. My leadership style is based on building relationships and caring for others’ time and work effort. I don’t often self-reflect on whether or not I am seeking out insights from others. I also scored the absolute lowest on being creative in searching for new and better ideas for solutions. I have never had the natural gift to think outside the box and find alternative solutions other than what is the obvious. That could be quite detrimental to a manager and company. I need to learn to synergize as a manager and find new solutions to old problems.

Leadership is something that we are all born with because we are all born. Therefore, who is a leader and who is not depends on who really wants to be a leader and who does not. Leadership is a skill and so it can be learned. As anything that is learned it demands practice and practice to be the best. It would not be something that will happen in a matter of a day. There are multiple elements that make a leader. Collaboration is a key element for successful teamwork. Therefore, a leader must always be in the look for ways to foster collaboration. Creating trust within the team, support face-to-face collaboration, transfer responsibilities when making decisions, and ultimately teach other how to be leaders. All of this is not done if it is not done from the bottom of your own heart.

“one in which two persons come to know one another well enough to face the problem at hand in a co-operative way. The relationship of nurse to patient can be represented on a continuum; at one end are two individuals with separate goals and interests; at the other end are two persons working together to solve a

The team leader as described in this charter is a transformational leader. I consider my transformational leadership skills a strength. Northouse (2013) describes the transformational leader as“... concerned with emotions, values, ethics, standards, and long-term goals [of followers and]…includes [leader characteristics as] assessing followers’ motives, satisfying their needs, and treating them as full human beings” (p. 185). Transformational leaders also value the opinions and concerns of those they lead. According to queendom’s interpersonal communication skill test my results concluded that my strengths included interpreting other people’s verbal and nonverbal communication. Additionally, I excel at seeing other’s points of view which

In chapter two of the textbook, Introduction to Leadership, I was introduced to leadership traits, and asked to identify my specific traits and determine my leadership strengths and leadership weaknesses. There is an extensive list of traits which contribute to the leadership process and effectiveness of the leaders, however, six are considered to be key traits: intelligence, confidence, charisma, determination, sociability, and integrity. (Northouse, 2015) Of these six traits, I consider intelligence, charisma, determination, sociability, and integrity to be my strongest, and while I am very confident, I tend to question myself occasionally. Therefore, I would consider confidence to be my weakest trait on the list.

The basic premise for leadership is the process of influencing other people to follow your lead in order to accomplish a goal. It is about the relationship between the leader and the followers. A good leader tries to motivate people to bring about positive changes revealing a common objective without using coercion or manipulation. Leadership is not about control, but permitting interaction and communication between the leader and the individual followers. With empowering others, leaders build a foundation of collaborative thinking and encourage an atmosphere of personal involvement; a leader can strengthen the respect and loyalty of his or her followers. Leaders can affect this process by applying their own personal characteristics, such

We see leaders around us everywhere. Regardless of what the profession or expertise is, or what sort of an institution there is, leaders are required. There are many leadership characteristics that come into play. In other words, not everyone has what it takes to be a good leader. Surely, in school all of us are taught things like team work and good leadership skills, leadership itself falls under a huge category. There are many models of leadership present that serve to analyze and assess how much of the leadership qualities a person has in them.
