Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Indeed, in an ever-changing, complex health care environment, nursing leadership has become a crucial factor in managing challenges and maintaining patient safety (Fischer, 2016).
11). Towards the end of the clinical, I assumed more of a charismatic leadership style by having an infectious, positive presence and encouraging others (Huber & Joseph, 2022, p. 11). This seemed appropriate for the team members because on night shift, everyone was tired and bringing positive energy boosted morale. A transformational style may have worked better, but I didn’t quite have the confidence or knowledge to help others build accountability and skill sets. We realized a tech was charting that she was turning the patients, but she was not.
(2008). I would like to challenges Chief Nurse Executives (CNEs) to lead the journey and highlights how patients, their families, and health care organizations would benefit immeasurably if CNEs stepped forward and accepted this leadership role, then and only then can the best practice changes begin to improve what we as nurses already know. The processes of leading are intended to enable more people to develop into leaders and more people to share the roles of leading, to enhance the quality and safety of patient care (Stone P. Hughes R, Dailey M.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American essayist and poet who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century, asserted “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Throughout my high school career, I have always been an individual who follows. I relentlessly ask others “Are you going to the game tonight?” or “What are you wearing for the banquet?” I have never craved to stand out or do something out of the ordinary.

Some three main leadership theories can be incorporated in the nursing field. There is the grand man theory, the trait theory, and the transformational theory. Thomas Carlyle in the Great Man theory states that leadership is for the people who are born to be great. Leaders are predominantly identified with their acts and accomplishments. For someone to fit in the nursing leadership slot, they should show their competence and purpose to serve in the higher positions (Spector, 2016).
“A leader is the person who influences and guides direction, opinion, and course of action. Leaders are in the front, moving forward, taking risks, and challenging the status quo (Marquis & Huston, 2012).” I had the pleasure of observing and interviewing Sheila Barcimo, who is a charge nurse on the DOU unit at Beverly Hospital in Montebello, CA. Background Sheila Barcimo had a passion for nursing ever since she can remember.
Introduction As we approach graduation many BScN students are prepping their resumes and settling into the mindset of “I’ll apply to anything, just hire me!” We thought it was important to ensure that our future graduate think ahead to all the many different nursing careers that are out there, what role they think they would be happiest in, what training might be needed for that role and how to be successful in the interview. This reflection will examine my experience working as a group to complete a facilitation in the Nursing 4Q03 class. Facilitation Experience (planning, conducting, evaluating)
However, there are certain strategies that can overcome these barriers. For instance, the nurse’s resistance to change and poor communication of objectives is overcome by constant communication of the benefits of this leadership style not just through word, but also through actions until they understand its
Path goal leader are repeatedly brilliant individuals, who are dedicated, committed, possess high personal standards and an determined sense of duty. This kind of leaders have a tendency to be decisive, confident, eager to take charge and willing to accept responsibility. They exercise command easily, but tend to extract obedience. This kind of leadership is imposed by power, dominating and fear of punishment. Normally they are suspicious of new ideas, except for their own and cautious of discussion.
A competent nurse is knowledgeable, compassionate, holistic, ethical, a patient advocate, and integrates other disciplines in order to achieve excellence in quality patient care. I believe the road is paved with multiple opportunities for students to experience and collaborate with competent nurses. Because I believe the qualities that are characteristic of a competent nurse also are characteristic of an competent nurse educator, my teaching styles reflects my nursing practice. I believe a student 's level of commitment is influenced by my enthusiasm and passion for teaching. For me, it begins by investing my time, knowledge and experience in students.
A mentor in nursing is defined as someone who can facilitate learning, supervise and asses nursing students in a practice setting. This in turn produces efficient and effective students who become competent and will have mastered the craft and art of caring. Mentorship is significant to students as it helps students develop their professional identities, attributes and competence and also enables students to learn through the creation of the supportive working and learning environment as an individual (Clutterbuck 2004). Decisions taken by mentors in assessing students have significant impacts on securing the nursing workforce in the future. This is because they help safeguard the ongoing excellence in the delivery of personalized patient care while making a major contribution to the development of the nursing profession.
Goal of this theory is to improve fulfillment and functioning of followers (Northouse, 2016).

The common score for directive style is 23 and 18 is considered low. I fell in the middle of common and low for directive style.
Abstract This paper seeks to investigate, assess, and present a retrospective review of the path goal model of leadership in relation to transactional and transformational leadership styles. The path goal theory, transactional leadership, and transformational leadership styles are briefly described and their concepts summarized. The methodology used to assess the theory is stated and the findings from empirical testing are discussed. The objective of the study is to examine how the application of the path glory model in transactional and transformative leadership styles influences employee satisfaction, and consequently, their performance and commitment.
