1. Healthcare Assignment: Personal Leadership Philosophies
Healthcare Assignment: Personal Leadership PhilosophiesHealthcare Assignment: Personal
Leadership PhilosophiesMany of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they
historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The
leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied
and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel
demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their
approaches.What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one
area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A
leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle
for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great
leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions. Healthcare
Assignment: Personal Leadership PhilosophiesWhat is your leadership philosophy? In this
Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.To Prepare:Identify two to
three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of
leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.Reflect on the leadership
behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.Reflect on your
results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your
leadership traits.The Assignment (2-3 pages):Personal Leadership Philosophies Develop
and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics
of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to your

2.Sample PapersRoxanne DoBravaRE: Discussion – WeekLenick,I enjoyed reading your
post. I can relate to many aspects of your post. I am an includer as well which gives each
person a sense of purpose to feel needed. I really like that within the includer paragraph it
explains that the accepting nature of an includer is to respect each person’s differences and
each person should be created equal (Strengths Finder, 2018). This is truly the way I am as

2. well. You explain that you would like to strengthen relationship building. Relationships are
important and with a good relationship comes easy communication and makes each person
easily approachable. Saleh, O’Connor, Al-Subhi, Alkattan, Al-Harbi, and Patton (2018)
explain the importance of establishing strategies in initiating, developing and maintaining
professional relationships with their staff. Another concept that is important is to have an
active view on all leadership rather than a passive view (Manning, 2016). Thanks for the
great post.RoxanneReferencesManning, J. (2016). The Influence of Nurse Manager

5Lenick,Thank you for your post! It is excellent that you are self aware of your strengths
and weaknesses. I too received consistency, and achiever among my five strengths. I will
say, I was very pleased with my feedback from the survey. It is me 110%. I think it is
amazing how different everyone is with their own personality and characteristics but still
each individually can make excellent leaders. I enjoyed reading your post and I would like to
say thank you. Within the medical field some find it very hard to care for those that do not
share the same traits or standards as they do. Thus the same standard level of care is not
delivered to that patient. It is pertinent that every patient is treated the same regardless of
their background, upbringing, or personal beliefs. This is hard, very hard at times I know.
But nursing is one of the most trusted professions and patients look up to us for advice and
learning on how to better their life. I have seen the way patients are treated have affects on
them. It can make them better, or completely scatter them. So thank you for being one of
many that help treat others equally. I know it is not easy, and it truly is a special
talent.ReferencesWalden University (2020). Gallup organization: strengths finder
