Leadership Journal: Purpose

Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to "connect the dots" and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes.

Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this Leadership Journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.

Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.

Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of purpose, including the following:

Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 5-6.

Describe how your nurse leader's leadership style affects the people the nurse leads. Do staff members express feelings of support and helpfulness?

Are there examples of leading rather than dictating? Did the leader say or do things designed to "build up" staff or were there missed opportunities?

Reflect on at least two things you learned from the "Issue of Rule" video

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.
