This week, I was expecting to gain a further knowledge into what it takes to be a leader and the traits that go into being an effective leader. I would also like to be able to learn the skills that ineffective leaders use so that I will be able to avoid those types of attributes.
Watching Ender’s Game this week was entertaining. It was fun to be able to use a movie to be able to learn of both effective and ineffective skills and to see a visual representation of those skills and traits. I also was able to take the DISC test to see the types of skills that I have and the areas that I need to work on to be a more rounded leader.
It was really interesting to see the different viewpoints of all team members in regards to wait makes a leader. Being able to see what others view as traits about leaders is an interesting way to gain insight into what I really feel about it. It is also a great way to discuss and to have a conversation about the leadership qualities.
Leadership is a vital key in any role in a workplace, but nursing and leadership seem to go hand in hand. After doing the leadership and nursing activity of traits and characteristics, it became much clearer in how nursing and leadership go hand in hand. I will use this information to make sure that I always give the highest quality care to my patients as well as my team members that I work with. While I may not have a managerial role, I will still implement the leadership skills and traits that I have learned this week.
I really enjoy learning about what makes great leaders great. Leaders are needed in all walks of life and I know that no matter the role that I take in my career, it is important to have great leadership qualities to fall back on in order to help with the nursing aspect.
