LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT
What personal strengths do you have that would make you an effective nurse leader? What potential gaps might you need to address to improve your ability
to be an effective nurse leader?
As a future DNP-prepared nurse, you will be called upon as a leader in your field, a leader in your practice, and a leader in your organization. Throughout your
program of study, you will develop the skills, strategies, and knowledge to not only harness this role successfully but to do so at a high level of achievement
and performance.
However, everyone must acknowledge both their own strengths and weaknesses, as a leader, and identify potential areas of improve to enhance these
capabilities.
For this Assignment, you will explore your strengths and potential gaps based on the nurse leadership competencies provided. Review the competencies that
best fit into your current nursing role (nurse executive competencies, system CNE competencies etc...). Reflect on potential goals you might set to improve
as a nurse leader. You will also reflect on how this goal setting and self-examination will not only improve your nursing practice but also your healthcare
organization.
