Self-Assessment Of Leadership Skills

Sample Solution

    My nursing leadership skills are based in transformational style leadership. Transformational leadership is focused on building strong relationships and inspiring others to work towards a shared goal. I have found that I am able to effectively motivate and inspire my staff, which results in efficiency and productivity.

My strengths in this style of leadership include my ability to be an effective communicator, delegate tasks appropriately, and build cohesion among team members. Additionally, I prioritize collaboration and empower those who work with me to make decisions independently. I believe there is always room for improvement when it comes to my nursing leadership skills; the most significant opportunity for improvement lies in my ability to delegate effectively while maintaining accountability among those involved in the task at hand. To improve upon this aspect of my nursing leadership skills, I plan on engaging with colleagues more frequently about individual projects or tasks, offering recognition for successful completion of these goals, creating clear expectations from the onset of new assignments or initiatives, and providing feedback throughout each project’s timeline as needed so everyone remains productive and accountable for their respective roles within the team. To capitalize on these strengths and address opportunities for improvement within our healthcare workplace specifically, I plan on developing a comprehensive action plan that includes several steps intended to both recognize existing successes amongst our teams as well as identify areas needing further improvement: 1) Conduct an assessment survey amongst staff members regarding current job satisfaction levels & perceptions around autonomy/accountability; 2) Establish open channels of communication so employees can share feedback & ideas related to improving job performance & productivity; 3) Encourage Team Building approaches (such as group activities) designed to foster greater trust & cohesion amongst co-workers; 4) Develop incentives such as competitive pay scales or bonus structures recognizing exceptional performance; 5) Put systems into place that offer consistent recognition & rewards programs rewarding excellence across all areas of employment (i.e., patient care); 6) Implement regular training sessions dedicated towards empowering employees with necessary tools needed for success through continued education & learning opportunities; 7) Ensure executive level buy-in from top management by making them aware of progress made towards achieving organizational objectives set forth by front line staff members 8 ) Monitor customer service scores over time using specific metrics associated with quality outcomes achieved using customer feedback surveys administered both pre-& post implementation period(s).
