response Discussion 2: Your Leadership Profile
Understanding leadership is not only beneficial at an organizational level but also an individual level. In this regard, understanding your leadership abilities is essential. Belief is one of the themes mentioned, which is instrumental in the nursing profession. Belief is synonymous with high ethical standards (An introduction to the belief CliftonStrengths theme, n.d.), which are essential in the nursing scope of practice. Responsibility also means that you follow through and are keen to do the right thing (An introduction to the responsibility CliftonStrengths theme, n.d.). Doing the right thing improves the likelihood of achieving positive patient outcomes. Achieving positive patient outcomes is the goal of every nursing professional and health care organization.
An arranger is an individual who manages complex situations well and productively (An introduction to the arranger CliftonStrengths theme, n.d.). Possessing this attribute is, therefore, strength. You also mention your ability to coach and develop others, which is commendable. A developer is instrumental in realizing the full potential in other people (An introduction to the developer CliftonStrengths theme, n.d.) and takes pride in the subsequent success. Possessing the learner capability translates to a willingness to acquire knowledge and self develop (An introduction to the learner CliftonStrengths theme, n.d.).
It is equally commendable that you realize the areas you need to improve. Accountability, discipline, versatility, ability to learn from mistakes, self-control, and patience are characteristics you wish to improve. Improving the mentioned traits will not only make you a better person but a better leader. Becoming a better person will also ultimately translate to your achieving better patient outcomes. A self-developed individual operates at a full potential, which affects the quality of service. Excellent service automatically translates to increased quality and efficiency. Both of these attributes ultimately realize positive patient outcomes.
