Week 7: Leadership for Change
Leaders help shape the environment for change. Whether positively or negatively, leadership style certainly affects implementation. As a nurse leader, identifying your leadership style, skills, and qualities will be important to determine if you have the necessary attributes to support the implementation or if you may need support from other leaders.
During the next week, you will explore the importance of having the right leader for effecting change. Leaderships styles and qualities can vary, and no one leader is right for all scenarios. This week, you will explore your leadership style and evaluate how this style might affect your implementation.

Discussion: Leadership Style
How does leadership style affect change?
No two leaders are the same, and no one leader can be effective for all issues. Leadership can be described by style, skills, and qualities. One leader may be incredibly effective in dealing with one issue or environment and struggle with a different issue or in a different environment. This struggle does not make the leader a poor leader, rather this illustrates that the style, skills, and qualities needed for a leader can vary based on the issue, environment, stakeholders, or other factors.
For this Discussion, you will consider your leadership style and the impact of this style on the implementation. Consider what leadership style, skills, and qualities are needed for the implementation, and evaluate how your particular style aligns with the needs of the implementation.

To Prepare
- Review assessment of leadership sources from the previous course NURS 8502.
- Explore the Learning Resources concerning leadership styles.
- Identify the leadership style, skills, and qualities needed to implement the change.
- Identify your leadership style, skills, and qualities.
- Consider how leadership style affects change.
By Day 3 of Week 7
Post a description of leadership style needed to implement your proposed change. In your response, address the following:
- What leadership style do you need to implement the proposed change? What qualities are necessary to implement this proposed change?
- How does this leadership style connect with how you will disseminate the results?
- Remember that each leadership style is not applicable to every issue. So, considering your leadership style, what do you have and what do you need? Is there a gap? Will you need additional support for implementation? How does your particular style apply to your proposed change?
By Day 6 of Week 7
Read a selection of your colleagues’ blog posts. Respond to at least two of your colleagues on 2 different days by supporting or expanding on their work thus far with their practice focused question. Work to share additional perspectives on the issue described by your colleague.
