Northouse (2016) explains that transformational leadership “is concerned with emotions, values, ethics, standards, and long-term goals.” It is a leadership skill that has the unique ability to motivate people to “accomplish more than what is expected of them.” How might transformational leadership be applicable in your leadership role?
For this Assignment, you examine transformational leadership within your own workplace environment. As a member of the nursing leadership team, you can help create a healthy workplace culture that promotes excellence in nursing.
- think about the characteristics of transformational leadership.
- Review the Sherman and Pross (2010) resource related to workplace culture.
- Select a scenario from your current or past workplace in which a leader demonstrated transformational leadership.
Assignment (4–5 pages, not including the title page or reference page):
- Describe the scenario you selected.
- Describe the transformational behaviors or actions the leader exhibited. Be specific and provide examples.
- Explain how these behaviors or actions produce the best care and environment for excellence in nursing practice and a healthy workplace environment that leads to quality patient outcomes.
