Discussion: Leadership Strengths for Change Initiatives Consider your results from the Clifton Strengths Finder, a self-assessment of leadership traits that you took in a previous course. Recall that the Clifton Strengths Finder enabled you to identify your leadership strengths in terms of how you work with information, how you make things happen, how you influence others, and how you build and nurture strong relationships?  As a future nurse educator, your ability to leverage leadership strengths is essential to effecting change in academic and practice settings.  Photo Credit: Getty Images You must also understand the phases of project management as they relate to change initiatives in nursing education and nursing professional development, so you know how to best insert yourself into each step of the process. For example, if the Clifton Strengths Finder identifies you as a futuristic thinker, you will likely have a great deal to contribute during the initiation and planning phases of a change initiative. For this week’s Discussion, you will examine project management processes as they relate to a change initiative that took place in your current or past workplace. You will also examine your own leadership strengths and discuss how you can apply them to support the change initiative.     To prepare: Review your results from the Clifton Strengths Finder you completed in a previous course. If you do not have your results from your previous course, retake the Strengths Finder Assessment found in the Resources and save your results. (Note: If you already have a Strengths Finder account, you might log in and still find your previous results in your account.) Identify a recent change initiative in your current or past workplace (academic or practice setting) to use for this Discussion. Review the Resources for this week as well as Standard 12 from the NPD Scope and Standards and the phases of project management in the Leadership in Nursing Professional Development and consider how each of the competency statements impacts your change initiative for this Discussion. By Day 3 of Week 11 Post a description of the change initiative you identified from your current or past workplace (academic or practice setting). Explain your analysis of the change initiative. Be specific. Then, based on your awareness of this initiative, explain the process of how this project was managed and completed. Refer to the phases of project management to guide your explanation. Explain what went right and what went wrong with the initiative. Be specific. Next, based on the success of the initiative, explain how your strengths identified in the Clifton Strengths Finder could provide support for this change initiative. Finally, identify 5 competency statements from NPD Scope and Standards: Standard 12: Leadership and explain how each of these competency statements applied to the change initiative. Provide examples. If fewer than 5 competency statements applied, identify additional opportunities in which competencies should have been applied. (Note: You should have a total of 5 competency statements analyzed for this Discussion.) Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses. Note:?
