Assessment of a Nursing Leadership Problem

Resources

This assignment is the first component of your course project. At one time or another, we have all experienced or observed situations where ineffective leadership skills and strategies were used. Think of a situation from either your current nursing position, or a previous nursing position where leadership was ineffective. Being mindful of maintaining confidentiality:
Describe the nursing dynamics related to the problem. In other words, the situation, the people involved (without naming them), and why you believe leadership was ineffective.
Choose a leadership strategy that you think would have been more appropriate to solving the problem, and support your choice with readings from the course or additional research.
Explain why your choice would have been more effective. Include a description of the outcome you believe would have resulted from using this leadership style. Support your choice with references that follow proper APA format.
Success Tip: At this point, you do not need extensive details for the scholarly references that support the problem identification and leadership strategy. You will get the chance to do that in your next assignment and in later components of the project. The main objective for this assignment is to get your problem identified and your leadership strategy outlined for instructor feedback.

Strategic Analysis and Leadership Interventions

Resources

The fourth component of your course project is strategic analysis planning and leadership intervention. In order to determine if we have done what we have set out to do, we, as nurse leaders, need to assess situations, events, and outcomes. For this assignment, using the work issue you identified in Unit 2, you will:
Choose an analysis model that is appropriate to your selected issue.
Identify and describe the model you will be using, then use the model to analyze your work issue. Be sure to address the issue from a nurse leadership perspective.
Choose one additional model and briefly describe that model.
Suggest six interventions that would be useful for the nurse leader when dealing with a variety of work issues. For each intervention, you should provide the expected outcome.

Your paper must be at least 4–6 pages long, excluding the cover page and references.
Use double spacing in between entries and annotations with one-inch margins.

Nursing Leadership Guide

Resources

In this unit, you will submit the culmination of your course project—the Nursing Leadership Guide assignment. This guide should be developed for a group of junior nurse managers, who are taking part in a leadership class. In addition to the four project components that you have already developed in Units 2, 3, 5 and 8, your guide should demonstrate your understanding of the influence of nursing history and theory on current nursing leadership practice.
In the final step of developing the guide, you will bring all of these components together, along with a one-page summary that discusses how moral, legal, and ethical behaviors can influence a nurse’s role in leadership and management. You may organize your leadership guide in any order, but it should follow a logical sequence. You may also be creative and incorporate graphics; just be sure that you have included and addressed all of the required components that you will be graded upon.

Your completed guide should contain these components:

1. Title page.

2. Table of contents.

3. Assessment of a Nursing Leadership Problem (Unit 2).

4. Annotated Bibliography (Unit 3).

5. Leadership Theories, Styles, and Application (Unit 5).

6. Strategic Analysis and Leadership Interventions (Unit 8).

7. One-page summary.

8. Reference page.
