Group C initial post
This course has been incredibly educational with regards to learning the skills it takes to be an effective leader. Leadership is defined as an art form that influences other team members to achieve their maximum potential in accomplishing any task, objective, or project. Being a leader is not an easy task and this course has been instrumental in teaching me the different approaches leaders can take. Whether it has to do with resolving conflict among peers, or properly organizing and staffing a unit, this course covered it all. Even our research paper required us to take charge and attempt to solve problems that we all encounter in our daily work. Marquis & Huston (2021) note that leaders strive to solve problems in an adequate manner that will allow for the most optimal outcomes as often as possible. Thanks to this course, I plan to take charge more often both in my professional and personal life. I feel as though this course has given me the knowledge needed to begin using these concepts in my daily life. I will be more confident in my working environment and will attempt to solve any conflicts that arise by using my critical thinking skills rather than simply emotion or impulse. Taking a step back and looking at the picture as a whole will be beneficial and lead to better solutions. This course was also helpful in expanding my knowledge of how to conduct research using appropriate and reputable sources, as well as how to apply that research productively in a real-life setting. I believe that all of this new information will help better both my current and future practice as a nurse.
