Leadership Theories in Practice

A walk through the Business section of any bookstore or a quick Internet search on the topic will reveal a seemingly endless supply of writings on leadership. Formal research literature is also teeming with volumes on the subject.

However, your own observation and experiences may suggest these theories are not always so easily found in practice. Not that the potential isn’t there; current evidence suggests that leadership factors such as emotional intelligence and transformational leadership behaviors, for example, can be highly effective for leading nurses and organizations.

Yet, how well are these theories put to practice? In this Discussion, you will examine formal leadership theories. You will compare these theories to behaviors you have observed firsthand and discuss their effectiveness in impacting your organization.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources and examine the leadership theories and behaviors introduced.

· Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.

· Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.

Post two key insights you had from the scholarly resources you selected. Describe a leader whom you have seen use such behaviors and skills, or a situation where you have seen these behaviors and skills used in practice. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain to what extent these skills were effective and how their practice impacted the workplace.

Your Discussion needs  3 citations . APA 7th Edition.

Students are required to submit weekly reflective narratives throughout the course that will culminate in a final, course-long reflective journal due in Topic 10. The narratives help students integrate leadership and inquiry into current practice.

This reflection journal also allows students to outline what they have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses, and additional resources that could be introduced in a given situation to influence optimal outcomes. Each week students should also explain how they met a course competency or course objective(s).

In each week’s entry, students should reflect on the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout the course. Journal entries should address one or more of the areas stated below.  In the Topic 10 graded submission, each of the areas below should be addressed as part of the summary submission.

1. New practice approaches
2. Interprofessional collaboration
3. Health care delivery and clinical systems
4. Ethical considerations in health care
5. Practices of culturally sensitive care

Overview: All students will read the following HPE case study related to discerning between research and non-research during program implementation. There are many blurred lines between research and evaluation, so careful consideration of research and non-research activity is essential to ensure ethical practices are carried out at the onset of the program implementation and evaluation process.

Case Study: The CDC funded 5 health departments to develop programs to provide HIV prevention and referral services to HIV-infected persons. The project objectives included increasing the proportion of HIV-infected persons who know their HIV serostatus as early as possible after infection, providing HIV prevention services to infected persons to reduce the risk of transmission to others, and assisting HIV-infected persons in accessing medical and other needed services. Grantees were encouraged to tailor their interventions to local circumstances, and the funding supported local evaluations of the effectiveness of the interventions in each site.

The grantees provided an array of services to a mix of target populations based on their location. The CDC’s perspective was that the primary intent of the program was to provide services targeted to local community needs, and the primary intent of the evaluations was to improve those services. Thus, the project was deemed to represent non-research by the CDC. However, it was anticipated that, as a secondary benefit, the projects also would provide information—or lessons learned—that might be useful elsewhere.

Although the CDC did not consider the evaluation component of the program to constitute research, some participating health departments differed in this assessment and sought institutional review board (IRB) oversight. At sites where local IRB review was invoked, implementation was delayed up to 1 year. Confusion over whether the program constituted human subjects research resulted in the loss of formative pilot data at 1 site when a local IRB determined that appropriate approvals were not in place.

Assignment: After reading the case study, write a discussion that addresses the following:

· What are the potential ethical considerations in this scenario? What are the main risks for participants in the program?

· Explain the unintended consequences that may occur from the participants’ perspective if the evaluation of the program is deemed research and informed consent is obtained? How might this change impact the participants’ behaviors, attitudes, and/or trust in the program?

· What are the unintended consequences of labeling this evaluation as non-research? How might this impact the program or future programming?

· Which entity was correct in their assessment of the evaluation’s research status (i.e. was this research or non-research)?

 What is your vision for the future of nursing? How does your vision fit with the recommendations in the IOM report? What two action steps do you plan to take to promote this vision?
