My Discussion and Respond to 2 students: Your Leadership Profile
Learning Objectives
Students will:
- Analyze the effectiveness and impact of leadership skills
- Assess personal leadership traits
- Analyze how leadership traits can be applied to personal leadership philosophies and behaviors
- Develop a personal leadership philosophy
- Create a development plan related to personal leadership philosophies
Do you believe you have the traits to be an effective leader? Perhaps you are already in a supervisory role, but as has been discussed previously, appointment does not guarantee leadership skills.
How can you evaluate your own leadership skills and behaviors? You can start by analyzing your performance in specific areas of leadership. In this Discussion, you will complete Gallup’s StrengthsFinder assessment. This assessment will identify your personal strengths, which have been shown to improve motivation, engagement, and academic self-conference. Through this assessment, you will discover your top five themes—which you can reflect upon and use to leverage your talents for optimal success and examine how the results relate to your leadership traits.

Gallup Clifton Strengths
Many years of research conducted by The Gallup Organization suggest that the most effective people are those who understand their strengths and behaviors. These people are best able to develop strategies to meet and exceed the demands of their daily lives, their careers, and their families. A review of the knowledge and skills you have acquired can provide a basic sense of your abilities, but an awareness and understanding of your natural talents will provide true insight into the core reasons behind your consistent successes. Your Signature Themes report presents your five most dominant themes of talent, in the rank order revealed by your responses to StrengthsFinder. Of the 34 themes measured, these are your “top five.” Your Signature Themes are very important in maximizing the talents that lead to your successes. By focusing on your Signature Themes, separately and in combination, you can identify your talents, build them into strengths, and enjoy personal and career success through consistent, near-perfect performance.

Input
You are inquisitive. You collect things. You might collect information—words, facts, books, and quotations—or you might collect tangible objects such as butterflies, baseball cards, porcelain dolls, or sepia photographs. Whatever you collect, you collect it because it interests you. And yours is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting. The world is exciting precisely because of its infinite variety and complexity. If you read a great deal, it is not necessarily to refine your theories but, rather, to add more information to your archives. If you like to travel, it is because each new location offers novel artifacts and facts. These can be acquired and then stored away. Why are they worth storing? At the time of storing it is often hard to say exactly when or why you might need them, but who knows when they might become useful? With all those possible uses in mind, you really don’t feel comfortable throwing anything away. So you keep acquiring and compiling and filing stuff away. It’s interesting. It keeps your mind fresh. And perhaps one day some of it will prove valuable.
Intellection
You like to think. You like mental activity. You like exercising the “muscles” of your brain, stretching them in multiple directions. This need for mental activity may be focused; for example, you may be trying to solve a problem or develop an idea or understand another person’s feelings. The exact focus will depend on your other strengths. On the other hand, this mental activity may very well lack focus. The theme of Intellection does not dictate what you are thinking about; it simply describes that you like to think. You are the kind of person who enjoys your time alone because it is your time for musing and reflection. You are introspective. In a sense you are your own best companion, as you pose yourself questions and try out answers on yourself to see how they sound. This introspection may lead you to a slight sense of discontent as you compare what you are actually doing with all the thoughts and ideas that your mind conceives. Or this introspection may tend toward more pragmatic matters such as the events of the day or a conversation that you plan to have later. Wherever it leads you, this mental hum is one of the constants of your life.
Futuristic
“Wouldn’t it be great if . . .” You are the kind of person who loves to peer over the horizon. The future fascinates you. As if it were projected on the wall, you see in detail what the future might hold, and this detailed picture keeps pulling you forward, into tomorrow. While the exact content of the picture will depend on your other strengths and interests—a better product, a better team, a better life, or a better world—it will always be inspirational to you. You are a dreamer who sees visions of what could be and who cherishes those visions. When the present proves too frustrating and the people around you too pragmatic, you conjure up your visions of the future and they energize you. They can energize others, too. In fact, very often people look to you to describe your visions of the future. They want a picture that can raise their sights and thereby their spirits. You can paint it for them. Practice. Choose your words carefully. Make the picture as vivid as possible. People will want to latch on to the hope you bring.
Learner
You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.”
Strategic
The Strategic theme enables you to sort through the clutter and find the best route. It is not a skill that can be taught. It is a distinct way of thinking, a special perspective on the world at large. This perspective allows you to see patterns where others simply see complexity. Mindful of these patterns, you play out alternative scenarios, always asking, “What if this happened? Okay, well what if this happened?” This recurring question helps you see around the next corner. There you can evaluate accurately the potential obstacles. Guided by where you see each path leading, you start to make selections. You discard the paths that lead nowhere. You discard the paths that lead straight into resistance. You discard the paths that lead into a fog of confusion. You cull and make selections until you arrive at the chosen path—your strategy. Armed with your strategy, you strike forward. This is your Strategic theme at work: “What if?” Select. Strike. NURS 6053 WU Wk 5 Systems Leadership Question

Your Leadership Profile
The purpose of this discussion post is to discuss the results of my StrengthsFinder assessment and reflect on these results and how they relate to leadership traits. I will discuss two core values, two strengths, and two characteristics that I would like to strengthen as a result of my assessment.
My StrengthsFinder assessment showed that I have the following strengths: restorative, adaptability, belief, responsibility, and I am a learner. Restorative means I love to solve problems and enjoy the challenge of analyzing the symptoms, identifying what is wrong, and finding the solution (Rath, 2007, p. 153). Adaptability means that I have the ability to live in the moment instead of being fixated on the future and can create the future one choice at a time, expecting detours along the way (Rath, 2007, p. 45). Belief means I have core values that are family-oriented, altruistic, value responsibility, and have high ethics; believing in myself and others (Rath, 2007, p. 57). Responsibility means I take ownership for anything I commit to and feel bound to complete the task (Rath, 2007, p. 149). As a learner, this means I love to learn and this couldn’t be more true by the fact I can’t stay out of school, am constantly learning and obtaining certifications to enhance my career and attending conferences to provide better for my patients and also teach my co-workers. I also agree with the fact that I have more strength areas in executing, relationship building, and strategic thinking. I believe the assessment accurately portrayed who I am as a person and a worker.
As healthcare providers we need to be able to identify our strengths and weaknesses to provide the best care for our patients and learn to work as a team with our co-workers. Nurses already have learned the core values such as empathy, advocacy, resiliency and dedication, of which have been displayed and pushed to the limits during the last year with the pandemic, yet we continue to hold these values as strengths without always looking at our weaknesses (Smith, 2020, p. 41). Strength assessment tools such as the StrengthsFinder 2.0 have been helping employers for years to help their employees identify their individual innate strengths, showcase individual talents, and strengthen team dynamics (Penzias, 2020, p. 80). I was able to identify some areas that could use improvement after taking this assessment.
The areas I found I would like to strengthen for my core values are: being more optimistic and enhancing my creativity. I have found that I tend to anticipate more negative outcomes or “busy/bad” days with short staffing instead of approaching it optimistically and making the shift better. I need to work on this and focus more positive energy to make the days better and this will reflect in my care and teamwork as well. I would also like to become more creative, coming up with more ideas for our unit to enhance patient satisfaction and employee satisfaction and also more creative ways of approaching care for the patient instead of just traditional medicine. Two strengths I would like strengthen within myself are command and discipline. I do not always like to take charge and often will let others lead and bring their ideas to the table, even when I have similar thoughts. I think it would enhance my career to take command more often. I also could be more disciplined as far as planning, I tend to be a more of -the in the moment type of person, day-by-day and planning or having a planner can help keep me on track for my goals. Two characteristics that I could strengthen are being more appreciative and learning to be more out-going. I feel I do not always express my appreciation for those around me and those I work with and I can see how that could be frustrating, as I myself like to be recognized for the work I do. I also see my manager is very out-going, where I tend to be more reserved at times. I love that quality in her and some of my other friends and it is something I strive to be.
In conclusion, the StrengthsFinder assessment tool was a very useful exercise as I learned what qualities or strengths that I have and was able to identify some strengths that I see in others that are leaders as well. I was also able to identify some weak points that I could work on and how to work on these areas to become a better provider and team member. This was a great development tool and I enjoyed completing it. NURS 6053 WU Wk 5 Systems Leadership Question

From the Gallup assessment, several strengths and behaviors were highlighted, which could help someone make necessary strategies to meet and even exceed the demands in their lives, their specific careers, and their families. Thirty-four themes were measured, and the top five themes were highlighted (Gallup, 2021). They include; harmony, communication, responsibility, competition, and activator.
From the given themes, there are various core values, characteristics, and strengths that need to be strengthened. From the activator theme, it is evident that I am always impatient in engaging in a particular action, and this seems to affect decision making where it may seem to affect me either positively or sometimes negatively. The impatience characteristic needs to be improved to ensure that the acts would be in line with the decisions made and the outcome would always be better. This would require me to be considerate and make correct decisions based on the situations (Walumbwa & Schaubroeck, 2019). In situations that need fast decision-making, it would be fine to know the best way to reach the set goal outcome. Another characteristic evident in the harmony theme is that I am always seeking to hold common ground with those who have a different view from me. This may be detrimental since not every view that people have is the right one. It would be significant to seek to challenge someone on their opinion to have the conformity of ideas afterward.
There are some of the core values that would be significant if slight changes are made. I am one of a good communicator owing to the good core value. This makes people yearn to listen to the dramatic and powerful words used. This serves as a strength. It would be possible to improve on it by developing more on the use of nonverbal cues to strengthen the good verbal cues used and the choice of words used in the speeches. This is one of the strengths that would help meet my demands and even satisfy other people’s demands. The second core value treated as a strength includes a competition where I am always comparing myself with others. At some point, comparing with others would always be the best way to meeting one’s goals. However, this core value would trigger failure if I compare myself with weaklings (Walumbwa & Schaubroeck, 2019). It would not challenge me more compared to when the competitors are aggressive enough towards success. The strategies that would help in maintaining the core value as a strength would include establishing if the competitors would table fair and stiff competition that would challenge me towards success.
