NR 447 Week 2 Assignment; Leadership Style Analysis..

4. How can your role (as a leader, manager, or follower) change based on the needs or responses of your team? Explain your answer. My role as a leader is dynamic, continuously evolving in response to the flow of each shift and the composition of the team. When I am supported by a highly skilled and self- motivated group of nurses, I can strategically step back and focus more on administrative responsibilities, such as staffing, while trusting the team to perform efficiently and autonomously. Section 2: Leadership Style 1. What was your result of the Leadership Style Inventory assessment from the lesson? Use scholarly sources and APA citations to support your discussion. Provide citation(s) and a complete reference at the end of the template. Use at least one scholarly source from the Chamberlain Library to discuss. Ensure the scholarly source is not from the lesson or assigned reading materials. After completing the Leadership Style Inventory assessment from the lesson, I have learned that I am more of a transformational leader. Transformational leaders inspire and motivate their team, fostering a positive workplace culture while cultivating adaptability and resilience in the face of change. According to Afsar and Umrani (2020), they facilitate innovative work behaviors by establishing a supportive organizational environment that promotes both guidance and constructive feedback, enabling employees to identify and implement effective and optimal solutions. 2. Do you feel this result accurately reflects your leadership style? Why or why not? Yes, I believe this assessment accurately reflects my leadership style. Even before reviewing the lessons and taking the quiz, I recognized myself as a transformational leader, as I embrace flexibility, advocate for my team, and strive to inspire and motivate my colleagues. 3. How do you (or how will you) use this leadership style in the clinical practice environment? Give an example. In my hospital, charge nurses, as team leaders, are typically not assigned direct patient care during a shift. Their primary role is to oversee the unit and serve as a resource for the team. However, if circumstances require me, as a charge nurse, to assume a patient load in addition to my leadership responsibilities, I must adapt to the shift in team dynamics while maintaining a positive and supportive unit environment. This has occurred in the past, and I was able to uphold stability and provide effective guidance for the team. © 2023. Chamberlain University LLC. All rights reserved. 2 6.13.23 4. What milestones can you set along the way to assess your progress in achieving this goal? What does the current literature say about milestones and goal setting? I will conduct a monthly self-assessment to evaluate my progress and determine the effectiveness of my efforts in achieving my SMART goal. As Ha and Moon (2023) note, when an individual is committed to goal-setting and engages in regular feedback and reassessment, it focuses attention, increases effort, strengthens persistence, and fosters strategic problem-solving.
