1. Identify a leader you have observed within a clinical placement setting who you considered to be a good leader. You will need to briefly outline the organisational setting to provide context to your discussion.
2. Critically examine the chosen leader using leadership models to identify his or her skills/attitudes and qualities. What is it that makes them a good leader?
3. Critically evaluate how leadership impacts upon others (i.e. staff and patients) including teamworking, team motivation and quality of care.
4. Finally, apply this learning to demonstrate how this informs your own development as you prepare to make your transition from student nurse to registered nurse.
