Discuss the optimal setting for the effective implementation of the personal leadership style

/in /by

Leadership is such an important aspect of nursing. In this course, we considered various aspects of nursing that require strong, knowledgeable, flexible and compassionate leaders. While many nurses do not set out to be the “leader” on their floor, unit or facility, nurses must be the “leader” in sometimes even the smallest tasks or situations. This leadership paper is a discussion of those basic leadership principles.

The Leadership Paper will discuss the pros and cons of your personal leadership style, comparing and contrasting characteristics of nursing theorists with leadership theorists.  You will discuss leadership across developmental levels and community settings, and utilize evidence based practice and research to support various approaches to leadership.
