Leadership clinical application final paper
Over the last seven weeks you have reviewed literature that describes/defines leaders and leadership and critique those descriptions/definitions in terms of their usefulness.
The application of the knowledge learned about leadership and its application to your own clinical nursing practice will culminate in a final paper.
Compare and contract of the leader interviewed, the non-leader that was researched and yourself as a leader. (any nurse leader or something of the sorts would be great to include!).
The paper should focus on leadership skills, leadership styles, management skills, power, change, creativity, credibility, image, style, leader–follower interactions, conflict management, envisioning goals, affirming values, motivating others, managing, achieving a workable unity, serving as a symbol, explaining and representing a group externally, are appropriate to be reviewed and “interpreted.”
Utilize the review of the literature regarding leadership that you conducted in weeks 2 and 3.
In writing and developing this paper, you should self-reflect on your own leadership style and its application to clinical practice.
Include in the paper your feeling of how you as a leader can impact the nursing profession, contributions to nursing practice or theory, and any implications on current nursing practice.
Discuss how you will take this information gained and implement and apply it to your clinical practice.
Utilizing what you have learned from the entire course as well as from your analysis in this final paper, reflect on how these new leadership skills and your personal insights can be applied to your own practice.
Share with your colleagues and nursing leadership what you have learned and how you feel it applies to your own clinical practice and how you plan to implement these new leadership skills into practice
