Leadership Deliverable

Core Values

Professional identity stems from an individual’s values, experiences, motives, beliefs, and attitudes. My core values, such as caring, diversity, and integrity, influence my professional identity in various ways. The caring value ensures that I promote health and hope when dealing with the patients. I always encourage patients and their families by informing them that the condition is manageable. The diversity value ensures that I handle patients differently based on their personal values, cultural background, age, and ideologies. Integrity ensures that I respect the dignity of patients.

Leadership Attributes

The leadership attributes I would like to develop are shared decision-making, empathy, and relationship management. Shared decision-making encourages autonomy among staff, engagement, and accountability, resulting in respect, empowerment, cooperation, and job satisfaction. Shared decision-making can be developed by making communication multidirectional and discussing problems openly. Empathy involves caring about others, understanding, and responding to their needs. Empathy can be developed by improving communication skills. Relationship management involves the ability to manage collaborative relationships and resolve conflicts (Fernandes, Araújo, & Pereira, 2018). Relationship management can be developed my learning to inspire others, especially when resolving conflicts.

Organizational Structure

The nursing hierarchy defines organizational structure within healthcare settings. The chief nursing officer is at the top of the hierarchy with the responsibility of overseeing all nursing activities within a healthcare setting. The director of nursing directs patient care and perform administrative duties such as budgeting. Nurse supervisor head various nursing duties, arrange care, hiring, and making schedules. The nurse practitioner offer information regarding healthcare. The advanced practice registered nurse collaborates with physicians to offer patient care and services and can treat patients (Joseph & Huber, 2015). The staff nurse offers direct patient care by monitoring, observing, and assessing patients. The licensed practical nurse is at the bottom of the hierarchy, with the responsibility of providing basic medical care.

Clinical Microsystem

A clinical microsystem is a crucial building block that includes a group of people working together to provide patient care. The techniques needed to identify quality issues in a microsystem include evaluating the staff morale, assessing the alignment of the views of physicians regarding the content of interventions, and analyzing safety checklists (Kringos et al., 2015).

Quality Improvement

Standards that impact a quality improvement initiative favorably include creating a culture of staff involvement and positioning staff members strategically to implement changes. Promoting rapid improvements through quick tests also affects quality improvement positively (Samiei et al., 2011). Lastly, organizations should consider cultivating cross-unit microsystems to ensure the collaboration of individuals from different units.

Communication Techniques

Communication techniques impact the improvement of quality within a multidisciplinary team in various ways. Communication techniques promote collaboration among members, promoting trust and respect for each other. Delegation of roles makes staff members feel valued, promoting staff morale (Morley & Cashell, 2017). Coordinating with staff by communicating shared goals ensures that all individuals work together. Shared decision-making through negotiations and openness promotes power balance resulting in quality improvement.

Change Theory

Environmental and cultural dynamics influence change theory in various ways. The dynamics influence some individuals to resist change. The dynamics may create a negative perception among staff members regarding the change. The dynamics make it difficult for staff members to assume and accept ownership of the change (Wagner & Udod, 2018). Nurse leaders should be conversant with the change theory and work together with the staff to realize success.
