Leadership Reflection-Course Reflection Integrate leadership and management principles and attributes in nursing practice

  

Leadership and management principles are important during nursing care (Weiss et al., 2019). In this course, I read through the coursework materials provided and noted how to achieve leadership and managerial skills. I learned that there are ways one can achieve these two competency skills. First, as a practicing nurse, it is essential to identify one’s weaknesses and strengths. I also learned that I could achieve these skills by developing my communication skills with other healthcare providers upholding the values and beliefs in the hospital setup.

The other new knowledge gained after this coursework is the use of the DECIDE model to make decisions (Guo, 2020). DECIDE model is an abbreviation for Definition of problem, the establishment of criteria, consideration of any other alternative, identification of an outstanding alternative, development of a plan, and lastly, action, which involves implementation. This knowledge will impact my nursing practice by deciding on a ground of uncertainties. It will also prepare me to face and embrace positive and new nursing care protocols. My management skills will help me encourage my team members in a hospital setup to collaborate for the benefit of the patient.
