However, there are certain things that we maintain throughout our nursing careers. One of them may be the philosophies that guides our thinking throughout our nursing careers.

There are different models for change, but all have similar components as that of the nursing process (a) assessment, (b) planning, (c) implementation, and (d) evaluation. The model used by a leader should reflect the problem and the type of change required. Lewin's change model is beneficial for projects that are small and do not require input from the upper administration (Mitchell, 2013). Also, the Lewin’s model is designed to assist with determining those behaviors that can impede and drive change (Sutherland, 2013).

    Leadership qualities are vital in professional role development; life experiences support development of certain qualities, while at the same time do not allow other essential qualities to mature. I learned about my strengths and weaknesses by using Dr. McNeese-Smith’s leadership tool, according to this tool my strength is “Inspiring a shared vision,” while my weakness is “Challenging the process.” This wasn’t a surprise, in my current position as a staff nurse, I find myself to be pretty complacent with the way things are managed on my unit. Kouzes and Posner’s 2002 (1) research study found five recurrent behaviors of effective leaders: Challenge to process, Inspire a shared vision, Enable others to act, Model the way, and Encourage the heart.

    Introduction When I first started my nursing career ten years ago, I did not believe that I could have stayed in nursing profession for ten years. As I have been working at different in-patient settings throughout my entire nursing career, I have seen and learned that how much influence can a nurse manager’s leadership have on a ward and ward staff, and how much difference can it make, in terms of patients’ outcome, staff motivation, job satisfaction, and building of ward culture. Like what the formal US President John Kennedy said: “leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” This is particularly true in today’s healthcare environment, which is ever changing, demanding and dynamic (Scully, 2015). I feel blessed that one of my supervisors, Mr Pei, is such an inspiring leader, and here I would like to share that how his leadership style had impacted me positively and what I have learnt from him.
