Nursing leadership paper

Assignment: Application: Taking a Stand

Effective leaders have a high degree of self-awareness and know how to leverage their strengths in the workplace. Assessments are a valuable tool that professionals can use to learn more about themselves and consider how their temperament and preferences influence their interactions with others.

As you engage in this learning process, it is important to remember that everyone—regardless of temperament type or related preferences—experiences some challenges with regard to leadership. The key to success is being able to recognize and leverage your own strengths while honoring differences among your colleagues.

At some point in your leadership career, you will encounter an ethical or moral dilemma that requires you to take a stand and defend your position.

For this Assignment, you evaluate an issue and consider how you could act as a moral agent or advocate, facilitating the resolution of the issue for a positive outcome.

To prepare:

  • Consider the examples of leadership demonstrated in this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources.
  • To further your self-knowledge, you are required to complete the Kiersey Temperament as indicated in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider your leadership style, including your strengths for leading others and include your results from Kiersey Temperament Sorter to describe potential challenges related to your leadership style.
  • Mentally survey your work environment, or one with which you are familiar, and identify a timely issue/dilemma that requires you to perform the leadership role of moral agent or advocate to improve a situation (e.g., speaking or acting on behalf of a vulnerable patient, the need for appropriate staffing, a colleague being treated unfairly).
  • What ethical, moral, or legal skills, dispositions, and/or strategies would help you resolve this dilemma? Define the differences between ethical, moral, and legal leadership.
  • Finally, consider the values and principles that guide the nursing profession; the organization’s mission, vision, and values; the leadership and management competencies addressed in this course; and your own values and reasons for entering the profession. What motivation do you see for taking a stand on an important issue even when it is difficult to do so?

To complete:

By Day 7

Write a 4 to 5 page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

  • Introduce the conceptual frameworks of the ethical constructs of ethics, moral, or legal standards and the purpose of the paper.
  • Consider  an ethical, moral, or legal dilemma that you have encountered in your work environment and describe it.
  • Analyze the moral, ethical, and legal implications utilized in this situation. Describe your role as a moral agent or advocate for this specific issue.
  • Consider your leadership styles identified by your self-assessment and determine if they act as a barrier or facilitation during this dilemma.

HI2010 Discussion Guidelines and Grading
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”
· Aristotle
Discussion Guidelines
Discussion will play a major role in our virtual classroom. In order to better understand the materials presented, you will be asked to participate in discussions for each of the seven course modules. In order to maximize the efficiency of these discussions, there are two guidelines I will expect you to adhere to:
· The first will be that each student listens to and interprets what other students are saying. In this case, listening will involve reading someone else’s discussion posts carefully and mindfully. Listening is challenging for most of us in our daily lives, and these challenges are intensified here due to the online nature of our course. Without body language and tone, we may easily misunderstand what someone else is saying. Please keep an open mind and try your best to objectively understand what someone else is saying within the context of their words.
· The second guideline will be respect for diversity. The nature of the issues we are examining in this course may, at times, be personal and be challenging to some of your beliefs. However, this is one of the main aims of a college education: to present you with a myriad of opinions and worldly perspectives in order to help you pick and choose what you value so that you may act in accordance with what is important to you. Thus, in our virtual classroom you will be challenged with multiple perspectives, some of which may bring into question some of your deepest held beliefs. It is imperative for our learning environment that we do not engage in personal attacks on one another, but rather treat all opinions with respect even if you do not agree with what is being said. Be prepared to have your beliefs challenged and to challenge others; but, most importantly, be prepared to experience positive change and growth from this discourse.
Discussion Grading
For each of the seven course modules you will be expected to make one original post and at least three responses. Therefore, for each module you will be expected to post a minimum of four thoughtful, relevant, and exploratory philosophical reflections.
· Your original post must be made to the initial prompt provided.
· Follow-up posts should include responses to other student’s posts and follow-up comments on your own posts.
· I would like for you to address follow-up questions as needed.
· The first of your discussion posts must be made halfway through the module (I will post specific due dates for each discussion on Canvas), so that we don’t wait until the last minute to get the discussion threads rolling.
Your discussion grade will not only be based on whether or not you made four posts; I will also look at the quality of your posts, and whether or not you made an attempt to answer the questions/challenges being presented to you. In your posts/responses, you must include explicit reference to the concepts and ideas presented in the readings and lectures for that module. This means you should use direct quotes from the readings, or include direct reference to ideas and vocabulary introduced in the readings. I am very curious in reading your opinions about these topics, but I will expect them to be well-informed opinions which demonstrate reflective thought.
For each module, you will receive one discussion grade based on your overall participation in that module. Grades will be broken down as follows:
· A = 15 points
· Made 4+ posts that were relevant, thoughtful, and philosophical
· Included explicit reference to concepts and ideas from the module readings and materials
· Addressed follow-up questions and responses in a timely and appropriate manner
· B = 11 points
· Made 4+ posts that were relevant, thoughtful, and philosophical
· Included explicit reference to concepts and ideas from the module readings and materials
· C = 7 points
· Made 4+ posts that were somewhat relevant, somewhat thoughtful, but not philosophical
· Did not include explicit reference to the concepts and ideas from the module readings or materials
· D = 5 points
· Made 4+ posts that were not relevant, not thoughtful, and/or not philosophical
· Did not include explicit reference to the concepts and ideas from the module readings or materials
· F =4 points or below
· Incomplete (less than 4 posts, no explicit reference, etc.)

Relationship Between Purpose Of Study And Data Analysis Techniques

 Relationship Between Purpose Of Study And Data Analysis Techniques

In order to make decisions about the value of any research study for practice, it is important to understand the general processes involved in analyzing research data. By now, you have examined enough research studies to be aware that there are some common ways that data are reported and summarized in research studies. For example, the sample is often described by numbers of participants and by certain characteristics of those participants that help us determine how representative the sample is of a population. The information about the sample is commonly reported in tables and graphs, making use of frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and dispersion. Information about the variables (or concepts) of interest when quantified are also reported in similar manner.

Although the actual data analysis takes place after data have been collected, from the initial planning of a research study, the researcher needs to have an awareness of the types of questions that can be answered by particular data analysis techniques.

For this Discussion, review the case study entitled “Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success.” Consider the data analysis described in that case. Recall the information presented in the earlier chapters of your text about formulating research questions to inform a hypotheses or open-ended exploration of an issue.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of the types of descriptive and/or inferential statistics you might use to analyze the data gathered in the case study. Also explain how the statistics you identify can guide you in evaluating the applicability of the study’s findings for your own practice as a social worker. Please use the resources to support your answer.
