I

Leadership is an entirely

different

ballgame. Many people

a

leader

interacts

it

h

from management,

other

nurses

, techs, p

at

ients,

and

so on. I belie

ve

t

ha

t

it is essential and a factor in being a well

–

rounded leader in

understanding

emotional

intelligence.

When

situation

s in the workplace get heated,

they

can ap

propriately move

through

them

.

           

A

ccording

to Joseph M Lindell, “

Complexity,

chaos,

high

rates

of

change,

serious

safety

and

quality

issues,

and

work

for

ce

shortages

in

health

c

are

are

some

of the

reasons

why

clinical

leaders

hip

is

im

po

rtant.

(Lindell,2015)”

I

agree

with

this

information

.

While

working

in the

field,

I

have

experienced

many

different leaders

who

possess

their

styles

.

I work in the

emergency

room,

and with people’s

lives

on the

line,

seconds

matter.

For

example,

there

is a

code

running.

A

doctor

is

ordering

and

present,

many nurses and other

staff

are

also

assisting;

what

would

happen

if the

ho

use

supervisor

comes

in and

starts

to

discuss

why the

phone

went

unanswered

at the

charge

desk.

Provided

is a

valid

concern

that

the house supervisor

has;

how

ever

,

had

they

thought

about

the

right

time

for the

conversa

tion,

it may

create

a

better

outcome. When

someone

is in a

code,

there is

no

time for

out

side

distr

action

.

I

believe

that the house supervisor

was

able

to use

leadership

communication

skills

was

minimal.

A leader

should

approach

a situation with as

much

po

ssible

information,

understanding,

and the right

time.

            

The

difference

between

a

great

leader and a leader who

makes

a difference

while

creating

a

positive

environment

is their

ability

to

utilize

skills and

behaviors

beneficial

for

leading

.

According to

Goh,

leadership can

maximize

employee

abilities,

generate

better

outcomes,

and

influence

those

around

them to

become

leaders

themselves

(Goh,

2018).”

There

was a time

when

I was in

school

for

nursing,

and the

teacher

was a leadership

teacher.

It

was

somewhat

confusing

to me.

This

teacher

showed

me that

you

could

know

all the leading

information;

however, the action is

where

the

magic

happens.

This

professor

attempted

to

control

the

class,

assigning

material

outside of the

syllabus

multiple

times

throughout

the

quarter

while

impacting

many

students

and their ability to

thrive.

The leadership styles work

both

ways.

I have

seen

them

lift

individual

s

past

a

point

the

person

ever thought they could be and the other side of the

coin,

tearing

individuals

down

further

than

they have ever

gone.

Although

the information is

easily

accessible,

leadership is

never

easy

and should be

considered

a great

responsibility.

           

            A

true

leader

will

continue

to

grow

.

Even

while

leading,

they will le

arn

from

mis

takes

and are

human,

just

like

everyone

else.

They,

too,

deserve

grace

and understanding as they grow in

leadership.

It takes a

village,

and

although

a leader can

help

those around them grow or

not,

the

team

is

only

as

strong

as their

weakest

l

ink.

Leadership Theories in Practice

 

A healthy work environment is a work setting in which policies, procedures, and systems are designed so that employees can meet organizational objectives and achieve personal satisfaction in their work (Marshall & Broome, 2020). The first insight that I learned from Asiri et al. (2016) is that unique stressors facing organizations throughout society today call for a leadership model such as authentic leadership which aims at restoring basic confidence, hope, optimism, resiliency, and meaningfulness. The second insight is that through personal identification with followers and social identification with the organization, authentic leaders can enhance the engagement, motivation, commitment, satisfaction, and involvement required from followers to constantly improve their work and performance outcomes (De Zulueta, 2016). Authentic leadership integrates engagement which is a key element in the long-term solution to chronic stress and burnout in the workplace (De Zulueta, 2016). Leaders who engage employees contribute positive emotions, attitudes, and behaviors to the workplace, which may result in a sustainable healthy work environment.

 

 Describe a Leader or Situation which uses the above behaviors and skills used in practice

In my organization, the leader that comes close to exhibiting the traits of authentic leadership is our supervisor. For example, she always encourages independent thought processes and subsequent sharing of forthcoming ideas. Furthermore, she is tolerant of our mistakes and advises us to use them as a motivational platform to improve our service delivery. The supervisor believes that mistakes are essential for the growth and improvement of the organization and thus prefers engaging the staff to correct them as opposed to insulting one.

 

Effectiveness of leadership attributes

The above leadership behaviors and skills effectively impact staff morale and job satisfaction. For example, the supervisor communicating and engaging members consistently on organizational decisions, and being able to connect with them emotionally, enables her to understand their mistakes. In essence, employees are usually made to feel part of the organization and thus experience greater job satisfaction. This aspect often leads to members working with great enthusiasm and energy to improve their performance and avoid disappointing her. In essence, members respond by feelings of trust, loyalty, and respect for the supervisor and thus perform better.

People come from all walks of life. Life being the key term as people’s experiences may
guide their nursing practice. I find being emotionally fluent is a significant factor in a
workplace outcome. Leadership is an entirely different ballgame. Many people

a leader
interacts with from management, other nurses, techs, patients, and so on. I believe that
it is essential and a factor in being a well
–
rounded leader in understanding emotional
intelligence. When situations in the workplace get heated, they can ap
propriately move
through them.
