Discussion Questions

Transformational leaders influence those around them and therefore have the potential to alter the culture of a unit or organization. Effective nurse leaders consider continuing education and development an essential part of professional nursing. Please address the following topics:

  • What professional nursing organizations are you interested in or currently participate in?
  • What nursing certifications or continuing education (graduate degree) might fit into your future plans?
  • Regarding your own transformational leadership skills, what aspect of the TEACH values discussed in the lesson do you think would most benefit your work environment if adopted? As a transformational leader, what action could you take to incorporate this chosen TEACH value into the work environment?

SOLUTION

A good leader is generally made up of a number of features and characters such as the ability to delegate, integrity, self-awareness gratitude, influence, and empathy. For a leader, integrity is a metric that handles employee evaluations and therefore is important for charting the organization’s course and the making of informed organizational decisions. A good leader should demonstrate the ability to delegate effectively by facilitating teamwork, providing autonomy, and helping direct reports to grow. A good leader should also show self-awareness whereby the leader should be able to better understand himself/herself and know how the followers view him or her as a leader.

My colleagues view me as a transformational leader because I guide my followers by inspiring and motivating them. As a transformational leader, I also create a vision for my peers and guide them through change. Please click the purchase button to access the entire copy at $5
