leadershipmod3.docxPersonal Leadership Philosophies
Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.
What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.
What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.

for the 3rd written assignment- Important
I guess what I noticed most was that students seem to ignore the rubric (use the 1st 2 columns), and they also have a tendency to write about things they do not understand. Find and use the evidence- in most cases the internet is not your friend, use the library, and when you find a study, do not just read the abstract- actually read the paper. never cite from a papers introduction or their background, and these would be secondary (not primary) sources. This typically goes for textbooks also-
The following tips will help you prepare for the next written assignment.
NOTICE- The 3rd part of this paper is the PLAN, and it is worth 50% of the paper, so I expect it to be 50% of the content
CORE VALUES
The following is a fun way to identify two of your core values. Mine were wisdom and love. What are your core values really?
Use this one too it was fun. My core values are freedom, and family, and compassion- all decisions in my life for over 70 years have been made or influenced by these core values.
https://personalvalu.es/Links to an external site.
Know that core values are YOU- you do not change them, they change you- they are behind every decision you make in life and in your profession. They will determine your vision, because it is what is important to you as a person and as a nurse.
Philosophy
A philosophy of nursing is a statement that outlines a nurse’s values, ethics, and beliefs, as well as their motivation for being part of the profession. It covers a nurse’s perspective regarding their education, practice, and patient care ethics. A philosophy of nursing helps you identify the beliefs and theories that shape the choices you make on the job every day.
Define what nursing means to you. Begin your philosophy of nursing by identifying what nursing means to you. Why did you choose nursing rather than another profession?
Personal philosophy statement- Mine: “I believe nurses change the world around them every day and make a difference, because nursing is whatever nurses are doing, wherever they are doing it”
Florence Nightingale’s philosophy of nurses was “that the environment of the patient should be changed to allow for nature to work on the patient, and she felt this was the role of the nurse”
Here are 2 more I found
· Megan McGahan: “Nursing is more than treating an illness; rather it is focused on delivering quality patient care that is individualized to the needs of each patient.”
· Brandi DahlinLinks to an external site. : “My philosophy is that nurses have a responsibility to the public to provide safe, holistic, patient-centered care. I must remember that my patients are not room numbers or medical conditions, but individuals that require and deserve individualized attention and care.”
Nurses who want increased career satisfaction might consider defining the underlying mission upon which their nursing identity is built. Finding meaning in our work is important; our mission and values are crucial to feeling like our “nurseness” means more than just a paycheck.
Mission statement (today)
A mission is an answer to questions such as: Why am I a nurse? What is nursing about for me? Who am I serving and why? What are the underlying values that make me who I am as a nurse? How do I live my values at work? Your mission is about you as a nurse today.
“My mission as a nurse educator and nurse scientist each and every day is to mentor the next generation of nurse leaders, so they are comfortable and competent with creating change that will improve the lives of patients and their families. “ (S Siedlecki)
Vision statement (future)
Your nursing vision differs slightly from your mission; the vision is more of an illustration of what you’d like to accomplish through your nursing service. Your vision encompasses your aspirations, your goals and the lofty ideals that demonstrate not only who you are as a nurse, but also where you’re going.
“My vision as a nurse educator and nurse scientist is to have created a body of work through service to my profession that impacts the larger community; and to have inspired those I have mentored to make amazing contributions to society and their profession.” (S Siedlecki)
If you can articulate your mission and vision, your nursing career may take on more gravitas, lending itself to deeper learning, self-knowledge and satisfaction.( By Keith Carlson, BSN, RN, NC-BCLinks to an external site. | May 16th, 2016)
Development plan
Since you want to change behaviors, perhaps learning how to create an action plan would help
A personal leadership development plan is a roadmap that helps you identify areas for improvement and develop your leadership skills. It can help you achieve your career goals and advance in your organization.
Here are some tips for creating a personal leadership development plan: 2 behaviors – so 2 plans
· Self-assessment- you did this with the Clifton Strengths Assessment- Start by evaluating your current situation, including your strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for growth. You can use self-reflection and feedback from others to help identify areas for improvement.
· Set goals- goals are broad but not vague
· Example: I want to lose weight (too vague)
· Example: I want to lose 10 pounds in 4 months by exercising consistently. (better)
Set clear, SMART Objectives (also called smart goals) that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound.
· Write 2-3 objectives (this is your action plan) for each behavior change- and provide evidence to support the action- include a timeline
· Example:
· Objective: I will walk one mile each day for the next 4 months and monitor my compliance weekly using my smart watch.
· Evidence: According to Jones (2022), in a study of 200 overweight students on a 1200 calorie diet in Denver, those who walked at least one mile a day lost 2 pounds more than those who followed 1200 calorie diet without walking.
Set deadlines for your milestones and action items. Include both short-term actions and long-term objectives if warranted
Explain how and when you will evaluate each objective and the overall goal.
Use action verbs to write objectives- They must be measurable-
Good: I will attend… I will list, I will do 5 push-ups, I will submit a manuscript to the CNS journal
Poor: I will understand, I will think about, (not measurable)
Section one and 2 of paper should take up only 2 pages, all of the rest is for the plan.
Don't forget an introduction to the paper, a purpose statement and a conclusion.
