Leadership: Establishing Relationships and Influencing Change SAMPLE INTRO

Anyone can carry the title of leader, but not everyone possesses the ability to lead and effect change. A leader must be self -aware, be able to self-manage, be in tuned with the feeling others, have a vision and be open to communication and changes. As an FNP I will influence change by being emotionally present and keeping lines of communication open to foster good relationships and working environments. One of the biggest complaints from nursing staff is the lack of communication from their leaders.  We complain quite often that our leaders are out of touch or refuses to show respect or understanding.  Patients too have similar complaints with regards their health. My intention is to lead by example.  In my personal and professional life, I always seek to find common ground and be mindful of the feelings of others.

Gaining the advanced practice nursing degree, specifically becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner, comes with it leadership expectations and responsibilities. With my motivations and passions in nursing, I hope to inspire others through my leadership abilities. From reflecting on my own leadership traits, I hope to bring a transformational leadership quality to influence my co-workers in my future role as a nurse practitioner. The transformational leader inspires and motivates others with a shared vision to work above and beyond the basic expectations (Scully, 2015). From my own motivations I will share a vision with others that will cultivate a positive workplace for us healthcare professionals and our patients.
