Nurse leadership

Interview a nurse leader (chief nurse, associate chief nurse, director, supervisor, manager), a masters-prepared nurse with leadership responsibilities (nurse educator, nurse quality specialist, nurse risk manager, nurse case manager, etc.), or advanced practice nurse with leadership responsibilities (clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist, nurse midwife, or nurse practitioner). Analyze the leaders role as it relates to a minimum of five of the major course concepts addressed (ethics in leadership, emotional intelligence, communication, conflict resolution, change theory, cultural competence/diversity, labor relations management, leadership models, management theory, motivational theory, Nurse of the Future competencies, interprofessional collaboration, and team building). Provide a narrative summary of your interviewees responses to each of the concepts of the interview. This should not be a verbatim account. Incorporate references to provide support and analyze the concepts you discussed. Include your impression of congruence between the leaders self-reflection and your personal observations of demonstrated leadership. Include the following in your paper: Comprehension: Introduce the leader, his or her credentials, title, job responsibilities, placement on the organizational chart/reporting responsibilities, education, experience, mentors, and pathway to his or he current role. Application: Describe the predominate model/theory of leadership used by this leader. Describe his or her style of leadership. Analysis/Synthesis: Clarify and illustrate the leaders level of authority and influence within the organization. Discuss this leader’s sense of empowerment and efforts to empower others. Describe his or her intra- and extra-organizational responsibilities. Compare your personal philosophy/style/model of leadership with this leader and share whether expectations/perceptions of this leader were accurate. Evaluation: Summarize the leaders behavior, strengths, successes, challenges, and weaknesses. Your paper should be 910 pages long, not including the cover page or references list, and should use 1012 scholarly references. Tips and Hints Reminders: avoid using personal pronouns and use initials or first name only of your interviewee. You are not writing a documentary or a play for the nurse leader interview paper. You should review the information you will have learned in this course and essentially tell the leader’s story. For example: S. J. wanted to be a nurse since she was young. She earned her nursing diploma immediately after high school and worked for three years on a medical/surgical unit at the local hospital. (And so on.)
