ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT: Leadership Development Philosophies Discussion

Question Description
I’m trying to study for my Nursing course and I need some help to understand this question.

Hi,

Hi,

There was some modification to the information and additional resources on the wk6 questions as shown below and the attached resources.

Pls can you help go through to see how it can help shape your answer as a modification to the question.

To Prepare: what does this mean? It means that before you write even one word you should do the following three things

1. 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.

2. Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.

3. Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.

Now you are ready to begin writing

Every paper begins with a short paragraph called the introduction. The introduction tells the reader what the paper is going to be about (main issue or topic), and ends with a purpose statement.

The Assignment (2-3 pages): ( the introduction, and the first 2 sections of the paper will consume the first page of text- The plan will consume 1 1/2 pages of content, leaving you about 1/2 page for a conclusion.

1.Personal Leadership Philosophies (15 points)

Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Identify core values, write philosophy statement, write mission statement, and write a vision statement.

A personal philosophy statement serves as an introduction to you, focusing more on your beliefs and values than on life experiences and biographical data. In this assignment it should reflect your beliefs and values that make you the nurse you are today and the nurse leader you hope to be in the future. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following: A description of your core values

Here are some examples of core values from which you may wish to choose: Dependability,Reliability,Loyalty,Commitment,Open-mindedness,Consistency’,Honesty,Efficiency,Innovation,Creativity,Good humor, Compassion, Spirit of adventure, Motivation, Positivity, Optimism, Passion, Respect, Fitness, Courage, Education, Perseverance, Patriotism, Service to others. How do you identify YOUR core values? I found a nice exercise that might help you decide https://www.cmu.edu/career/documents/my-career-path-activities/values-exercise.pdf

Next write a personal mission and a vision statement. Mission statement is based upon your core values and tells us how and what you want to do today (in the present). This is in contrast to your vision statement, which tells us how you will live up to those core values in the future. I found a great site that provides a nice example of the differences- https://destinysodyssey.com/the-odyssey/vision-statement/mission-statement-vs-vision-statement/

2.Assessment Summary: (Worth 15 points)Section two is a summary of your leadership profile as described by your Clifton-Strengths assessment- This summary is followed by a complete description and detailed discussion of two key behaviors (based upon your assessment) that you wish to strengthen.

3.Development Plan (Worth 55points) – This is worth the most points because this is where all of the content from your paper belongs- In other words this is the bulk of the paper.

A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.

A plan is detailed and specific. It has goals and objectives (do you know the difference?)

Goals are the outcome you intend to achieve, whereas objectives are the actions that help you achieve a goal. Having clear goals and objectives helps in making effective decisions. This site might help: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Goal_vs_Objective

You have 2 behaviors to change, so you will have an overall goal and usually 2-3 very specific objectives you will have to meet in order to achieve the goal; you will do this for each of the behaviors. Each behavior has its own goal and each goal has its own objectives.

Your plan is based on the most recent and relevant evidence. It includes a comprehensive synthesis of information gleaned from sources that fully support how to achieve a personal vision. Integrates 2 or more credible outside sources, in addition to 2 or 3 course-specific resources to fully support the responses provided.

Be sure to also incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.

Conclusion- every paper ends with a conclusion.

APA format for the paper, level headings, citations and references is a course requirement.

I am sorry for this late additional information from the instructor.

Thanks for your understanding.

Leadership Development Philosophies Discussion

Leadership Development Philosophies Discussion

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
