Healthcare is in vast need of transformation. For radical changes to occur, leaders in micro, meso, and macrosystems (in many various capacities) must emerge to facilitate the necessary work. The work to be done is far too large for a few. The newly released Future of Nursing 2020 to 2030 report is both aspirational and ambitious. Dr. Susan Hassmiller states that Nurses can play a central role to creating a fair and just world for everyone. The new report calls on nurses to build on the gains of the work completed from the prior decade. Dr. Hassmiller notes that Nurses can not give what they do not have. To accomplish the needs for health equity we must develop effective, healthy leaders.
Strengths Based Leadership:. After reading the required assignments, take the self-assessment exercise by Rath and Conchie (instructions on how to take the assessment can be found below).
Use the unique access code accompanying your text to take the StrengthsFinder 2.0Assessment. This assessment will take about 25-35 minutes to complete. To access the StrengthsFinder 2.0 Assessment, visit strengths.gallup.com. After completing the appraisal, you will receive a highly customized Strengths-Based Leadership guide that lists your top five themes of strengths as well as several suggestions for leading with each theme and illustrations of each theme in action (pg. 99). For each of the 34 themes, there are strategies that can be used for leveraging that theme to meet followers’ four basic needs (defined in the book), and tips for leading others who are strong in that theme…the guide… can be used as a reference for building on the strengths of your team and the people around you “(pg. 99).
Research findings of Rath and Conchie (2008) indicate that leaders do not have to be good at every aspect of leading. What a relief! However, to be effective change agents, these authors argue the importance of knowing one’s leadership strengths and leveraging those strengths to build strong teams. How does one leverage those strengths? Consider how one’s leadership strengths could potentially weaken a team. In addition to the leadership assessment exercise, please read the required readings before completing the assignment.
