...Leading and Managing Nursing Care Introduction This assignment will examine and reflect upon a critical incident that occurred whilst on placement. The incident will be analysed using relevant management concepts and an action plan formulated, which will propose a change in practice. Minghella and Benson (1995) cited by Ghyae, T and Lillyman, S (1997) identifies that ‘critical incident analysis has been espoused as a valuable method of promoting reflective practice in nursing and it can be used as a tool in developing curriculum content’ (p770). The Reflective Cycle of Gibb’s (1988) (appendix 1) will be used as a framework to conduct this assignment. My reasoning for choosing Gibb’s can be explained by [anon] (2006) ‘Gibb’s reflective cycle is fairly straight forward and encourages a clear description of the situation, analysis of feelings, evaluation of the experience, and analysis to make sense of the experience’. The assignment will also be organised into sections based on the reflective cycle. Pseudonyms will be used to maintain anonymity and confidentiality in accordance with clause five of the NMC (2004). The critical incident which I have chosen is an inappropriate assessment and application of mouth care in a pre-operative patient. ‘Oral assessment is required in planning effective care, and that the incidence of oral complications was reduced by the frequency of care’ Ginsberg (1961) cited by Mallett, J and Dougherty, L (2000 p361). I have chosen...

...Transformational Leadership Ivan F Rodriguez University of Phoenix Critical Reflection and Transformational Leadership This paper briefly examines the relevance of critical reflection practices in leadership development. Incorporating critical reflective practices in a leadership development program (LDP) helps closing loops assimilating the knowledge, updating reference frames and providing valuable feedback to the decision making and problem solving processes. It is my learned experience that using critical lenses to enable building on previous experiences and to incorporate new learning will perpetrate the transformational leadership (TL) process. The correlation between critical reflection and TL can be explained by the closed loop between outside world and inside world, it is though a reflective process how the leader encourages multiple perspectives that ultimately challenge his or her to excel in complex and uncertain environments. Leadership development practices depend on reflection-in-action. Advancing one step further, TL focuses on how leaders inspire and motivate followers to a higher moral level (Burns, 1978), its essence is inspiring follower’s commitment to achieve the vision of a desired future. TL conveys the “connection between the organization’s philosophy and shared values, and embeds those values in organizational rules and actions in order to communicate meaning and inspire followers” (Bennis and Nanus, 1985, p. 58). The critical reflective process as...

...In order to fully understand the personal development and reflective reasoning in relation to your development in the Nursing field, one will have to define these two terminologies. Personal development means to include activities that improve awareness, can develop potential that will ultimately enhance the quality of life. Medical colleges advocate personal development plans as a basis for continuing professional development. Whereas, reflective reasoning is where a nurse can apply learning and insights of others into their own work. In nursing courses students learn through lecture and discussion, which is the primary method for teaching theoretical principles, but when you add a more complete understanding of the relationship between theory and practice one may become a more competent nurse. Awareness of issues and analysis of knowledge and feelings are some stages that are involved in reflection but then identification and integration of new learning is needed as well. By consciously engaging in their own and others reflection it is believed that the level of professional interaction will improve. Motivation, one issue bound to crop up in ones work life, as well as leadership and of course managing conflict these are some issues when speaking of personal development. The ability to reflect upon us is a valuable part of human life, insisted Taylor (2000). Reflection and reflective practice are claimed to enhance professional development, link theory and practice, promote...

...Reflective Personal Leadership Development Plan Gabriele Barnett University of Phoenix – School of Advanced Studies Reflective Leadership Plan In the past seven weeks I changed my view on leadership. I learned about various factors of leadership that I never considered before. This paper is a summary of my leadership style based on the assessment scores and interpretation of it. It will explain my strengths and weaknesses, address the gaps, and suggest action items on how to close these gaps. This paper will also provide a timeline, implementation methods, and how the plan will be assessed. Leadership Style My score for the Leadership Style assessment is an eight for people oriented and a nine for concern for tasks. This score shows a balanced task/people orientation (Pearson, 2007). According to Newson (2006), it falls into the role category of Implementer. An implementer takes followers’ suggestions and ideas and turns them in positive action. They are known to be efficient, self-disciplined, and reliable. Implementers are motivated by their loyalty to the organization and often take on projects that everyone else avoids. The almost even score for task/people orientation also shows a situational leadership style. According to Wren (1995) “it describes a way of adapting leadership behaviors to features of situation and the followers” (p.210). Situational leadership style suggests that leaders adjust their style to fit individual...

...Chapter 18 Managers as Leaders Leaders in organizations make things happen. But what makes leaders different from nonleaders? What’s the most appropriate style of leadership? What can you do to be seen as a leader? Those are just a few of the questions we’ll try to answer in this chapter. Focus on the following learning outcomes as you read and study this chapter. LEARNING OUTCOMES 18.1 Define leader and leadership. 18.2 Compare and contrast early theories of leadership. 18.3 Describe the three major contingency theories of leadership. 18.4 Describe contemporary views of leadership. 18.5 Discuss contemporary issues affecting leadership. SPOTLIGHT: Manager at Work What is the difference between being a manager and being a leader? Are these terms synonymous? Management guru Peter F. Drucker once said, “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” You might begin the study of Chapter 18 by asking your students for their perspectives on these questions and the quotation from Dr. Drucker. This chapter’s Spotlight: Manager at Work, looks at the legacy of Steve Jobs. In many ways, Jobs epitomizes the leader of a high tech company. How he was extremely charismatic and extremely compelling in getting people to join with him and believe in his vision. But also how he was despotic, tyrannical, abrasive, uncompromising, and a perfectionist. Jobs broke the rules of management and remade them to fit his vision. Students...

...Final Project: Generative Boards and the Technology of Participation Shane Engel Lead 510 Board Management Prof. Liz Shear University of San Diego Board Development Plan: Mission Center of HOPE "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” - Jesus of Nazareth Jesus of Nazareth called everyone to be like children, to humble themselves and change. It is simplistic in its call, but profound in its meaning. To be like a child means that you are teachable, thirsty for knowledge, non-threatened, free from power or position, quick to forgive, flexible, easy to change, humble and free to explore. The same can said of a board member working out of a “generative mindset.” A child like heart is inquisitive, pure and full of wonder. Give a child a kaleidoscope and they are immediately fascinated, filled with wonder and amazement. Creating a dynamic governing board can and should be filled with this same type of humility, wonder and excitement that is bound in the heart of a child. This paper seeks to define and explore the ways generative governance can instill a greater sense of purpose, a child like wonder, humility and learning into our organizations today. These principles of generative thinking will be applied to the Mission Center of HOPE...

...Report Assuring quality in education has been the goal of educators for centuries. According to UNICEF every child has a right to an Education. This is also supported by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) which says, “Every child has the right to an education which develops their personality, talents, and abilities to the fullest.” The Ministry of Education of Trinidad and Tobago along with UNESCO supports these objectives and worked together to develop programs that would address these issues. The Education Policy Paper (1993 – 2003) states, “Every child has an inherent right to an education that will enhance the development of maximum capability regardless of gender, ethnic, economic, social or religious background.” One project that has been agreed upon is Education for All. Education for All has as one of its goals ‘improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills.” This goal can only be achieved through the ‘delivery of a systemof quality education to students at all levels of the education system.’ In order to provide quality education to students it is important that all stakeholders play an active role in the education process. Therefore it is important that teachers continually upgrade and develop their skills to be able to identify and properly meet the needs of students. The ministry...

Also, the planning for capacity development interventions typically rely on variations of the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), which encourage careful thinking about expected outcomes and impacts. By its very nature LFA assumes that intended results of an initiative can be established in advance because the path that a capacity development process will take can be adequately assured, which requires a reasonably stable operating environment. The reality is usually very different. Self-Reflection 265 Reflecting the perspective of other chapters in this volume, capacity development processes often evolve in ways we cannot anticipate. Their paths are rarely predictable and sometimes seem to defy the logic that was used to plan them. Consequently, by...

Planning, critical thinking and reflecting are the pillars of the postgraduate study, managerial work and continuing professional development (CPD). “It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be forgotten, or its learning potential lost. It is from the feelings and thoughts emerging from this reflection that generalizations or concepts can be generated. And it is generalizations that allow new situations to be tackled effectively.” (Gibbs 1988) Reflection is a key element in any successful planning. You are...
