Leadership

The first discussion requires you to think critically about how leaders develop and why true leaders are vital to the success of every business. Why are leaders important in organizations, and what types of leaders are needed now? What role does growth mindset play in the development of leaders? How does the concept of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) influence leaders? Share your ideas about your leadership experience and what you feel leadership is. How do the concepts of growth mindset, change, and VUCA influence your personal definition of leadership or how you will prepare to be a better leader?

Nursing is a practice discipline that includes direct and indirect care activities that affect health outcomes. As a baccalaureate nursing student, you are developing new competencies in leadership, and in order to achieve mastery, you must apply those competencies to live practice experiences and situations. This Leadership Learning Experience (LLE) is designed to allow you to choose a clinical focus (e.g., practice, policy, education, population) in which you apply your leadership problem–solving skills. The LLE requires engagement with other people within the setting to complete.    You will develop a project within a practice setting that allows you to develop these leadership skills. You will identify a problem area in a practice setting that you specifically want to address (e.g., practice, policy, population, education) that aligns with organizational priorities. Example sources for the problem area may include the following:              •  Practice: joint commission standards, core measures as quality indicators, other data              •  Policy: legislation, staffing ratio, regulations from state boards              •  Population: children with diabetes, adult obesity              •  Education: future of nursing, Benner’s recommendations about nursing education You will focus on a real-life solution for the problem. You should choose a topic that is timely, manageable, and realistic to the current healthcare environment. An external resource person (i.e., manager, clinical leader, clinical educator, policy expert, or population expert) must confirm the relevance of the selected project and your engagement in the setting as part of project completion. As with all projects, you should think how you, as a nurse, function in the following roles: detective, scientist, and manager of the healing environment.
