Leadership skills are necessary for nurses at all levels, but they are especially crucial for those who want to teach and motivate others. For this reason, nursing leadership competencies often focus on communication, feedback, and teamwork. As a part of a team, the nurse leader must connect with each person and find a way to deliver and receive information (DeNisco, 2021). A culture of open communication and ethical standards can contribute to better leadership. These areas are among my concerns, and your discussion of this topic has helped me understand which qualities people develop for communication and how they achieve their aims.
I agree that nurses can be successful leaders in a healthcare organization and on any team. I also think that it may prove difficult for nurses to achieve success if leadership positions are occupied by people who do not support nurses and let them voice their opinions. I believe that nurses can overcome this problem with time, effort, and a commitment to systematic change. To achieve this goal, however, it is vital to develop oneself as a future leader and commit to personal and professional growth. Thus, such qualities as critical thinking, the ability to reason with others, and the skill to challenge existing conditions are essential for inspiring and driving change (Heinen et al., 2019). Your strategies for improving constructive criticism seem like a suitable choice for strengthening your professional skills in this area. I am also trying to better myself in these areas, and listening to the perspectives of other professionals in the field adds to my knowledge.
