My name is Roberto B[LAST NAME], and my credentials include [CURRENT EDUCATION LEVEL]. I have chosen to pursue the Executive Leadership Nurse specialty track of this Master of Science in Nursing program. I believe that this particular path will allow me to contribute to the field of nursing and advocate for both nurses and patients in my workplace as well as my country and state. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss my leadership style. Moreover, I aim to examine the problem of nursing staff stress and present my thoughts and research on how this issue can be overcome with the help of nursing leadership.
Statement of Personal Leadership Style
I try to adhere to the principles of servant leadership in my practice. Servant leadership can be described as a style that focuses on supporting professionals and allowing them to perform to the best of their ability. Therefore, servant leaders communicate with their subordinates and peers, identify their strengths, and amplify them. Moreover, they also search for potential problems and allocate tools and skills that would eliminate any workers weaknesses (Best, 2020). I believe that a leader who listens to the teams needs and ensures they are met creates effective units with committed specialists who enjoy their job. Nurses of all levels have a high level of responsibility for their duties; they also have great insight into what is happening in the healthcare field. Thus, a Nurse Executive Leader has to share power and prioritize their knowledge and experience in solving problems.
Change Advocacy Statement
Executive Leadership Nurses can advocate for a variety of issues in the nursing field. However, an increasingly concerning problem is the stress that nursing staff experiences at their job. In 2020, the pressure on nurses has increased exponentially, and they often did not have an adequate support system to relieve stress or to comment on their working conditions (Mo et al., 2020). Research shows a connection between nurses stress levels and job retention and satisfaction (Yu et al., 2019). Patient outcomes are also connected to how nurses perform and deal with personal or professional issues (Yu et al., 2019). Additionally, even if nurses possess all the knowledge related to health promotion, they may not follow their advice due to work overload (Ross et al., 2017). These findings suggest that advocacy for improving nurses mental health is a pressing problem that must be addressed on an executive leadership level. I aim to advocate for creating and enhancing peer-to-peer support networks, self-care and resilience training, and anonymous channels for complaints to lower the risk of stress among nursing staff.
Conclusion
As a servant leader, I aim to listen to other nurses to find the most suitable solutions to their problems. As an advocate for change, I need to include those for whom I am advocating in the conversation. Thus, servant leadership will serve as a framework for incorporating feedback in a meaningful, empathetic, but research-based way. Nurses are skilled professionals who deal with much stress on the job. Their input can show me the direction in which I might go. However, I also need to use my learning to conceptualize the information I receive from subordinates to approach solutions analytically. My choice of the Executive Leadership Nurse specialty track should provide me with sufficient skills to move forward with my advocacy plans.
