Assignment task: This assessment measures your ability to translate leadership models to nursing practice for complex healthcare systems.
An organization's ability to change and adapt will ultimately be dependent on you as a nurse leader and whether you can translate a leadership theory (transformational leadership theory) to create a culture of change in your organization.
Nurse leaders have several strategies they can use a culture of change in an organization. In this assessment, you will first identify your own leadership plan and then apply it to a workplace problem.
Assessment Deliverable:
Part 1: Minimum personal transformational leadership plan explaining how you would create a culture of change as a nursing leader in your organization.
Include the following in your plan:
- Compare and contrast how transformational leadership differs from transactional leadership.
- Discuss the reasons why applying transformational leadership would be appropriate when changing culture in an organization.
- Identify your transformational leadership traits, including considerations for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Describe the importance of interprofessional collaboration in creating a change in organizational culture.
- Define how those traits can be used to develop strategies that can be used within the organization to refine, maintain, or change the organization's culture.
- Describe the effect the organization's current culture has on the ability of a leader to drive change. Want Professional Help?
