Problem
Explain how each item would apply to to the concepts and principles of Nursing Leadership and Management. Be specific.
A. Remember that old beliefs do not lead you to new cheese: Being complacent leads to extinction. Embracing change and being flexible as a boss leads to survival.
B. Don't over-analyze or over-complicate things: Keep the true and tried mantra of K.I.S.S. in mind. Too many leaders take too long to convey a simple message.
C. Go past fear and enjoy the journey of finding new cheese: Embrace the thrill of the hunt, be curious, and push the envelope. This is your job as a leader.
D. Let go of old behavior instead of letting go of the situation: A different viewpoint can often help a situation more than a change of scenery.
E. If you don't change you'll become extinct: It's ok to Pivot as needed, or else you'll be caught without any options.
F. Consider what you might do if you weren't afraid: This is a key takeaway as fear holds you back and prevents you from moving forward.
G. Smell the cheese often so you know when it's getting old: In life and in business timing is everything.
H. Move beyond the fear and feel free: Don't be afraid to be leader and take the first step.
I. Imagine yourself enjoying the new cheese even before you find it: It's important to visualize an end goal as it will speed up reality.
J. Let go of old cheese quicker so you can find new cheese sooner: When it's time to let go, be sure to let go.
K. Notice little changes early and help yourself adapt to bigger changes later: While practice really can make things perfect , it is even more important to keep an eye out for early signs of change.
