Project AEDV 310

Write one paragraph to introduce the leader you have chosen and explain why you have chosen this person to interview.

I spoke with Michelle Smith, a nurse leader in a local healthcare facility. Throughout my life, she has been an inspiration and a great friend. She inspires, encourages, and serves as a professional role model for me. For the last twenty years, she's worked as a nurse at this healthcare facility, and she is now a nurse manager in this facility. As a nurse manager, she is an expert in her field due to her extensive training and credentials. There aren't many nurse managers who care about the health and safety of their workers as much as Smith does. I interview her to get more insight into Nursing Leadership.

2. List your interview questions, with a transcription of the answers from your interview.

Q: What is your style of leadership?

Ans: my style of leadership is servant leadership. According to the Servant Leadership school of thought, the most influential leaders put their followers' needs ahead of their own (Pawar, et al., 2020). To achieve results for their organization, servant leaders devote themselves entirely to the demands of their followers and those of the organization at large. In contrast to other models, service leadership emphasizes teamwork, trust, empathy, and ethics rather than strategies for influencing and motivating others below the leader's level.

Q: what is the most important culture of leadership? 

Ans: Leadership requires a strong innovation culture. Companies' internal pressures produce their external competitors, and this company's corporate culture ensures that its people can fulfill those expectations (Grunberg,et al., 2021). Both official and informal means improve cultural assets as part of a proactive strategy. To keep its corporate culture fresh and distinct, the company is always looking for methods to strengthen its organizational structure.

Q: What is your thought about leadership innovation and creativity in nursing?

Ans: nursing has always been an inventive profession – by its very nature, as such a job requires nurses to continually examine, evaluate, and develop answers to issues that may vary considerably in an ever-changing environment. Hospitals and healthcare systems lag behind other businesses when it comes to innovation. According to current statistics, a recent study shows that it takes an average of 17 years to make it into routine nursing practice. Consequently, nursing leaders have banded together to discover more innovative and efficient practices that benefit their patients and the healthcare system. Nurses are not at the forefront of healthcare innovation, despite using several pieces of medical technology, documenting in electronic health records, and providing holistic patient care to patients. There have been several instances in which impediments to innovation have hindered many nursing leaders from realizing their creative potential. Some of the challenges include:  

· Nursing education relies mostly on clinical knowledge, excluding the creation and promotion of new concepts.

· Patients' "pain spots" are dealt with by nurses instead of being regarded as part of the solution.

· Hierarchies often rely on nurse participation rather than nurturing and executing solution-finding strategies for organizational buy-in.

Q: what is the role of nurse leaders in ensuring that there is an innovative nursing work environment?

Ans: every stakeholder has a role to play in ensuring innovation in the healthcare industry. For new ideas to flourish, an inclusive work atmosphere is necessary. To positively impact the workplace, nurse leaders must be real and successful in their actions.

Q: What does emotional competence mean to you?

Ans: Emotional competence is the skill of effectively controlling and communicating one's feelings. The influence on patient care, working relationships, and the healthcare environment are particularly significant in nursing practice, and it may be an important ability to model and teach patients. It is important to understand one's feelings as well as one's motivations, as well as to have empathy for others.
