Leadership Styles and Nursing

The purpose of this assignment is to assess leadership styles, traits, and practices as a nursing professional, establish the importance of effective inter-professional communication as a leader in nursing, and to explore the role of servant leadership in nursing practice.

Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.  

Include the following in your presentation:

1.      Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices.

2.      Discuss what leadership traits and styles are necessary to be an effective communicator. Explain the importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community members).

3.      Discuss how nursing professionals can benefit from integrating the tenets of servant leadership to empower and influence others as they lead.

4.      Discuss how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong understanding of their personal leadership traits can successfully lead others and navigate the unique challenges that are part of nursing and health care. Provide two examples that illustrate your main ideas.

You are required to cite to a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice.
