Throughout your career, you will work with many people who display differing leadership styles. As a nurse leader, it is imperative that you communicate well and get along with those whose leadership style does not align with your preferences. It is also important to understand your own leadership style, as this can prompt insight into how others relate to you and what skills you may need to develop as your leadership responsibilities grow.
1) A description of a leader, distinguishing his or her style as authoritative, democratic, or laissez-faire.
3) Explain which ones you would integrate into your own leadership style, as well as which ones you would prefer not to integrate.
4) Explain at least one potential effect of this leadership style on health care quality and patient outcomes.
