Self Development Leadership Plan: Overview
Using self-assessment tools like the Strengths Finder and the Emotional Intelligence Tool, I have initiated the process of change that will enhance my leadership capacities. I learned through these tools my strengths and weaknesses, and this knowledge helped me to develop specific strategies for change. The strengths finder tool showed that I have great restorative strength; that I interact harmoniously with others and seek solutions through collaboration and mediation. I also learned that one of my strengths is the ability to contextualize and analyze current situations based on based experiences and events. This is not the same as dwelling; this strength refers to the broad meta-analyses needed to understand a current problem. The past provides us with tools and lessons. Even when we dealt with a past situation poorly, we can learn from our mistakes and make different moves now. Another strength revealed in the Strengths Finder was my tendency towards inclusiveness in social situations. Inclusiveness comes naturally to me; I cannot imagine being any other way, which will make me a strong leader in diverse and complex environments. Finally, the Strengths Finder confirmed that I have a passion for learning. A learning orientation means I am hungry for knowledge, curious about the world and how it works, and open to new ideas.
The Emotional Intelligence tool showed that I have a high overall EQ. I am able to monitor and manage my emotions, but I also do not grapple with difficult emotions. I am inherently calm and cool even in the face of adversity, which could also mean I have not yet been challenged sufficiently. Echoing the results of the Strengths Finder, the Emotional Intelligence tool showed that I do tend towards inclusive approaches to others, listen well, and seek opportunities for win-win results to problems. Each of these issues contributed to the evolution of a leadership plan concurrent with personal and professional development.
Strategies for Change
The strategies for change I identified based on my self-assessment and self-development indicators are as follows. First, I will take a course in public speaking so that I can become a more effective leader who is comfortable with my own voice and power to influence others. Given my predilection for learning new things, I believe this strategy will also align itself well with the second strategy, which is to develop my skills competencies in one key...

Self-Care Strategies Self-care is a widely acknowledged aspect of Counseling. Through research, studies and hard-earned self-knowledge, experts have defined personal attributes, strategies such as mentoring, and qualities that can lead to development of the therapeutic self.

Nursing management is a vital part of an effective healthcare system. It is a partner in professional satisfaction for nurses and a partner in achieving good health for individuals and societies alike (Oulton, 2006). Being a nurse manager is a very tough job that requires a strong commitment and drive for success. It is important for some one who is thinking about embarking on a nurse manager career to get
This also, unfortunately, contributes substantially to the high attrition rate (attributable to failure to adapt to the professional environment) among foreign-educated nurses (Reid, 2009). Ultimately, the effective establishment of leadership culture in healthcare organizations and with respect to the nursing profession especially, requires first addressing these fundamental issues that undermine the most basic necessary elements for cultivating leadership in organizations.
