CLC - Leadership Styles and Nursing
1. Summary of personal leadership style, traits, and practices
My personal leadership style is primarily democratic and participative, with the following corresponding traits and practices:
I involve team members in decision-making and value their input;
I encourage open communication and active listening;
I empower employees to take initiative and be creative;
I prioritize collaboration over competition;
I seek consensus when making major decisions;
I focus on developing skills in others; and,
I aim to build trust, respect, and commitment in the team.
Speakers notes:
My leadership style is mainly democratic and participative. This assessment is based on the fact that I strongly believe in empowering team members by involving them in important decisions and listening to their perspectives. Likewise, I aim to foster open communication and collaboration, rather than impose my will in a top-down manner. In addition, I also try to build trust and respect among team members and encourage them to develop their skills. When making major decisions, I focus on developing group consensus rather than asserting my authority (Ligget, 2020). Taken together, my democratic and participative approach aims to create an engaged, motivated team that can work together productively to achieve shared goals. I believe in leading by example and providing support, while allowing team members the flexibility to take initiative and grow personally and professionally.

The main leadership styles identified by the four group members were democratic and transformational, which...…such as empathy and humility, servant leaders can create organizational cultures where people feel valued, respected, and committed to their work. In addition, servant leaders provide ongoing support through challenges such as chronic staff shortages, demanding workloads, and compassion fatigue. Likewise, they boost morale by recognizing achievements and coaching struggling team members. Taken together, servant leadership allows nurses to navigate unique industry challenges by grounding their teams in shared purpose and equipping caregivers with the support and development opportunities they need to excel. The focus is on serving others, not seeking personal status.
Two examples that illustrate these main ideas include the tendency of nursing servant leaders to involve their teams, explain the rationale, and make choices focused on patients needs rather than self-interests. Similarly, nursing servant leaders anticipate emerging issues in the…

Nursing The greatest challenges facing nursing leadership and the profession as a whole include, but are not limited to, "highly political environments, budget reductions, changing reimbursement patterns, staffing shortages, and rapidly evolving technological advances," (Schmidt, 2006, p. 34).

How do you think that leadership would be different for a person who leads only persons between 18 and 35 years of age compared with a person whose followers are mostly over the age of 40? What strategies would you recommend for a person who becomes the leader of a mixed group? There are significant differences between employees from various age groups in nursing as well as more generally within
Nursing Leadership Theories NURSING LEADERSHIP: COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTS & THEORIES The work of Cherie and Gebrekida (2005) report that there is both formal and informal leadership in that managers are formally "delegated authority, including the power to reward or punish. A manager is expected to perform functions such as planning, organizing, directing (leading) and controlling (evaluating)." On the other hand, informal leaders are "not always managers performing those functions required
Nursing Leadership The task that awaits a newly hired nurse unit manager in this particular care facility is going to be challenging. With nurses complaining out loud about assignments, and with nurses calling in sick, being late to work and not being productive, the new unit manager has her hands full. This paper uses scholarly literature to propose steps to be taken to get the care facility back to operating the
Nursing Leadership As nursing has moved toward professionalization, roles for nurses in leadership positions have been created. Historically, the roles of charge nurse, nurse manager, nurse educator, and nurse leader, have existed to coordinate and improve care delivery. In recent times, advanced practice nursing education has been introduced in order to formalize and improve performance of this role, in order to ensure evidence-based practice and improve patient care outcomes.
