Greetings Students,
I wanted to make sure that you understand the grading rubric and the need to address this on your final paper. Do not forget to include the reference for the inventory tool itself since this is the main reference for this assignment. Use the nurse manager inventory tool to guide your summary of the document responses as they relate to you. If you are not currently in a management position this is still a good assignment to find your strong points as well as areas to improve upon. The nine tenants are often missed on the last assignment: Utilizing a set of guidelines and tenants that facilitate reflective practice; these may be individually developed or can be based on specific models developed by others; below are the “Dimensions of Leadership” developed by the Center for Nursing Leadership, which offer an example of a set of guidelines/tenants that can be used as a tool to guide personal reflection of an individual’s leadership behaviors 1. Holding the truth – the presence of integrity as a key value of leadership 2. Appreciation of ambiguity – learning to function comfortably amid the ambiguity of our environments 3. Diversity as a vehicle to wholeness – the appreciation of diversity in all its forms: race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, generational, the dissenting voice, and differences of all kinds 4. Holding multiple perspectives without judgment – creating and holding a space so that multiple perspectives are entertained before decisions are rendered 5. Discovery of potential – the ability to search for and find the potential in ourselves and in others 6. Quest for adventure towards knowing – creating a constant state of learning for the self, as well as an organization 7. Knowing something of life – the use of reflective learning and the translation of that learning to the work at hand 8. Nurturing the intellectual and emotional self – constantly increasing one’s knowledge of the world and the development of the emotional self 9. Keeping commitments to oneself – creating the balance that regenerates and renews the spirit and body so that it can continue to grow Let me know if there is something that you need clarification on.
