...14060 tierzahjane@yahoo.com Keller Graduate School of Management at DeVry MGMT-591-20618 Leadership & Org Behavior Professor Joseph Neptune February 22, 2015 Abstract The organization discussed in this work of literature is Cuba Memorial Hospital, located in Cuba, NY. Cuba Memorial Hospital is named as a Critical Access Hospital through a federally supported program. This allows the hospital to choose which services best meet the needs of the community with 50+ employees. Cuba Memorial provides mostly long-term care treatment as the main bulk of their income. Like many other hospitals, Cuba Memorial Hospital (Cuba Memorial Hospital) went thru a significant downturn around 2008 due to fraud and theft of education funding and much more. Not only do they lose funding, but also they also almost get shutdown every six months due to not meeting regulations in controlling heat and air-conditioning, as well as having asbestos in the pipes, and a lack of food as they have maxed out their credits with many companies. It has been a roller coaster for many years. The main contributor for many issues among the organization is lack of morale and ethics within the company and this contribute to a very high turnover rate overall. Employees are not very good as well due to the lack of appreciation of everyone’s hard work, very low pay for nurses and nursing assistants, as well as the need to work long hours because the people always call in. There...

...Institution Leadership skills are very important they shape how a leader achieves his goals when it comes to leading his followers. There is usually no leader if they are no followers. However, how a leader carries out his duty while leading shapes the acceptance or the rejection of that leader by his followers. The leader must therefore have good leadership skills in order for him or her to succeed. The followers get to determine the amount of power a leader has in how he/she leads them. In cases where followers are not happy they tend to rebel. Therefore the skills in leadership are very important and not just anyone can be a leader. It takes skill and tactic to be a good leader (Mathena, 2002). In the nursing world, there are leaders. Different nursing units require leaders. The leaders are in charge of followers. The followers of a nursing unit head are usually the nurses. The duties of a leader of a nursing unit are to ensure that the nurses under them work effectively, to be able to handle conflict if any among the people involved in their unit and they is a fair share of work, to ensure that the working conditions of the nurses are appropriate and also to ensure that the patients are well cared for and that the nurse in charge of certain patients give this patients the best care possible (Young and Choi, 2015). Theories of leadership that define a leaders leadership skills To ensure that all this is met the nursing leader has to have leadership skills. There are different...

...Leadership Commentary Introduction Leadership is an important quality in all nurses. It is relevant to all levels of nursing and increases the quality of care we are able to give to our patients (James P. Smith, 2006). Leadership in nursing is not necessarily about being in charge but more about being able to make confident and competent decisions and influence the behaviour of others to ensure the best patient care is delivered. Throughout a community placement I endeavoured to improve my leadership skills and made use of an action plan to do this. I will make use of Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle to evaluate and reflect on this process. Gibbs is a simple and effective method of reflection and will allow a focus on the event and give a clear structure to the commentary and will also allow an action plan to be formulated to ensure the process is ongoing. Description During a placement with the district nursing team I identified leadership skills which I felt I needed to improve, which were achievable and relevant to nursing practice. I also took into consideration the leadership qualities framework from the NHS institute of innovation and improvement ( NHS institute for innovation and improvement,2005) this highlights a number a important aspects of leadership such as empowering others, collaborating with others and leading change through people. I felt that these were important and the skills which I would develop should be based around these concepts. The skills...

...Summary Paper Teresa Nabors Southern Nazarene University Nursing Attributes, Leadership and Critical Thinking As many have found over the years, nursing is not a profession cut out for just anyone. The average person cannot juggle twenty things at once, expertly handle emergencies that would send anyone else in a panic frenzy, and all the while remain calm and composed, as an experienced nurse does on a daily basis. What many do not know is that this smooth performance is driven by the nursing attributes, skills, and concepts that are necessary components integrated in the nursing profession of great nurses today. I believe the values of critical thinking, flexibility, strong communication skills, emotional stability, interpersonal communication and advocacy are the hallmark ingredients that distinguish the great nurses from the rest. Nursing is about going beyond the task given and a successful nurse encompasses a degree of these core attributes, as well as understanding the essential knowledge of the necessary concepts of leadership and critical thinking. This paper will discuss the attributes and concepts that I think are necessary in setting nursing apart from just any profession and will reflect on the values and practices that I believe makes me the nurse that I am today . Being a nurse can be tremendously rewarding to the soul, but it also demands much of those who pursue it. Nursing is a highly honored, trusted profession that has been steeped in rich values...

...Elizabeth A. Curtis, Jan de Vries, Fintan K. Sheerin This article provides an introduction to the issue of nursing leadership, addressing definitions and theories underpinning leadership, factors that enhance leadership in nursing, and the nature of leadership content taught in undergraduate programmes. Highlighted are differences between leadership and management, and the notion that leadership can be ‘learned’. The authors also point out that there is a discrepancy between how leading undergraduate nursing programmes prepare students primarily in the transition of education to practice, and the suggestion from a number of nursing publications that leadership in nurses should be fostered throughout their education. Key words: Nursing leadership n Management n Factors that enhance leadership n Undergraduate programmes he importance of effective leadership in health care has been emphasized by a number of authors (Dunham and Fisher, 1990; Hewison and Griffiths, 2004; Carney, 2006; Greenfield, 2007; Sutherland and Dodd, 2008), and nursing leadership is pivotal to this as nurses represent the largest discipline in health care (Oliver, 2006; Marquis and Huston, 2009; Roussel et al, 2009; Sullivan and Garland, 2010). Research on leadership has demonstrated a positive relationship with improved patient safety outcomes (Tregunno et al, 2009); healthy work environments (Shirey, 2009); job satisfaction (Heller et al, 2004; Sellgren ...

...Leadership Styles in Professional Nursing Nursing 351 November 20, 2010 Transitions to Professional Nursing Leadership Styles in Professional Nursing Leadership is a very important aspect within the realm of Nursing. With constantly evolving technology, poor economics leading to major hospital cutbacks, and healthcare reforms, strong nursing leadership has never been more important or necessary. Hood (2010) defines leadership as a process of influencing others to attain mutually agreed upon goals. We will discuss the differences between leadership and management. In addition, we will examine 2 types of leadership styles: Transactional and Transformational and address the effectiveness of both styles in achieving high quality of nursing performance. Leadership vs. Management Many people think of management and leadership as interchangeable. However, there is a stark difference between the two. In defining leadership and management, the one crucial difference is that a person with leadership has the ability to persuade/influence others into following their vision and putting the needs of a group ahead of an individual’s own personal needs (McGuire & Kinnerley, 2006). Leaders have this ability to inspire by employing enthusiasm, hope, optimism, and innovative methods. Leadership does entail having some management characteristics, but lacks the positional power to bring their visions to life. Management is usually an appointed position within a company (Hood, 2010)...

...The Core Competency of Leadership in Nursing James Dunn Chamberlain College of Nursing Course Number: NR351 December 2015 The Core Competency of Leadership in Nursing Leadership in nursing is a fundamental core competency that is important to the growth and development of all nurses. The success of nursing is directly related to the effectiveness of the leadership in which they receive. By providing a good example, it will help to influence those around them and inspire others to want to lead as well. Leadership is important to nursing because it promotes a positive environment for current and future nurses and can develop standards and goals for nurses to continually strive for. Good leadership can be passed down thus providing a nurturing environment for those entering the profession. Effective Leadership According to Schwartz, Spencer, Wilson, and Wood (2011), “Success in the workplace often is contingent on a leader’s ability to effect positive change and inspire others to higher levels of achievement” (p.737). Leadership is a position that is not usually appointed however it instead emerges from those who have the ability to influence others, inspire others, and have character traits that are both admired and respected (Hood, 2014). Effective leaders have the power to make change and it’s important to recognize different leadership styles and the traits that an effective leader usually displays. Leadership Styles The type of leadership style used can greatly...

...for associate degree (ADN) and 4 years for baccalaureate degree (BSN). “ADN nurses are educated to provide nursing care to persons with similar health alterations in structured settings, whereas BSN nurses are educated to engage in independent thinking and to provide nursing care to persons with complex and differing health alterations within variety of settings, including the community” (Hood, 2010, p. 18). Even though both ADN and BSN are getting the same license, the education related to communication, critical thinking, and leadership skills vary. Firstly, the competency level between ADN’s and BSN’s differs in both listening and verbally communicating. ADN uses basic communication skills to coordinate with other health care members to meet the immediate needs of patients. The associate degree nurse recognizes the individual’s need for information and can modify a standard teaching plan. The nurse with a bachelor’s degree uses complex communication skills in multiple settings to collaborate with other members of the team and is accountable to provide leadership. The bachelor’s prepared nurse assesses the need for information and builds comprehensive teaching plans, for each client and uses that research to implement evidence based practice. Secondly, ADN and BSN differ in their critical thinking skills competency. A nurse’s critical thinking ability facilitates better decision...
