Upon completing the psychology quiz on About.com, it was determined by my answers to the proposed questions that I fall into the Participative Leadership group. This type of leadership group is considered the “most effective leadership style” though it is important to note that truly effective leadership styles incorporate all three forms of leadership: authoritarian, participative and delegative (Cherry). Although this was the group my test responses dictated, after reading through each of the definitions for the other two groups, I felt that I could fit into any of the three leadership styles. Depending on the situation and the group I was leading, that situation would help me to determine which style of leadership I would need to use to be most effective. While I tend to use the delegative and participative styles much more …show more content…
These skills need to be learned by graduate level nurses either solely or in combination at some point in the beginning of the professional building stage. Each of these attributes is a skill learned by graduate nurses that helps to further build that individual nurse’s professional arsenal. Each of these skills begin a foundation on which that individual will start to grow and develop professionally. Each skill is important in its own right and allows for continued growth with experience. After much thought on this topic regarding my personal and professional growth I believe that I have strengths in commitment, developing one’s own style and willingness to cooperate. I believe I have already begun the process of building my professional foundation with my seventeen years of ICU experience. Within those years I have functioned in a diverse set of roles. This has benefited me be allowing me different settings in which I could practice the leadership
Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Indeed, in an ever-changing, complex health care environment, nursing leadership has become a crucial factor in managing challenges and maintaining patient safety (Fischer, 2016).

Educational Preparation of Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) The vision for the Clinical Nurse Leader CNL role began in 2003-2004 in response to the Institute of Medicine’s quality and safety reports. In 1999, the Institute of Medicine released its report, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, which called on health care systems to reduce medical errors and improve patient safety. In 2002, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation called for developing new practice models and enhancing collaboration between education and practice, and in 2003, the Institute of Medicine released its set of five core competencies that all clinicians should possess, regardless of their discipline, to meet the needs of patients in the 21st-century health care system. The Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) is a master’s educated nurse, prepared for practice across the continuum of care within any healthcare setting.

Marquis and Huston (2014) discuss how the mark of a good nursing leader is in the ability to inspire and motivate others to action; furthermore, no one leadership style is ideal and may vary according to the situation. The purpose of this paper is to match and explain the nursing leadership theory that is most applicable to solving communication issues, and to explain how legislation and health care policy can impact communication issues in the nursing.

To begin, it might be helpful to define leadership. Some theories suggest leaders are born by inheriting certain dispositional traits that lend themselves well to leading others (Judge et al, 2002), while others will argue that becoming a leader is a process which any person can go through with the right training (Keating et al, 2014). Leadership is usually the process of aligning a group of people to work towards a common goal, but sometimes in organisations and management it is far more complex than that and choosing the right leadership style is vital. This essay will provide an overview of three leadership styles (participatory, situational and transformative), the specific skill sets needed in each one, and discuss how these might be applied
It is not easy for me to find out that which type of leadership style has appealed to me in leadership. As it has mentioned in one article that “introverts are often reluctant to lead”( Connor and Spark), most of the time I do not have the desire to lead the group and it is not important for me to be a leader in group but when I am in a group it is important for me that what can I do for the group and I try to do my best to do my responsibility because in a group work my function will affect the other member of group as well so I don’t want to harm others because of my negligence.
