Overview: Leadership Self-Assessment

Do you view yourself as a leader?

You have, no doubt, served as a leader in some situations, but you may not yet envision yourself as a leader in the nursing environment. This course is designed to help you recognize the leadership and management qualities you bring to the profession, sharpen and enhance those skills, and to encourage you to seek out leadership and management opportunities.

Use the Professional Development Inventory to assess your leadership qualities and skills. Save your results and/or make notes of the conclusions.

Objective

•             Identify characteristics of leadership and management.

Conclusions and Reflections

Describe your overall leadership characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. Comment on any characteristics that the tool did not address that you believe to be important.
