Leadership For Beginning Practice
1
Introduction
Nurses are the core staffs of any healthcare organisation to provide effective care to the
patients to recover the health. However, a nurse must have some leadership qualities to deal
with the tough situations in the organisation and inspire other person for doing great work
(Hart, Brannan, and De Chesnay, 2014). However, many people understand that the role of a
leader is limited to encourage and motivate peoples only but it is not true. As per my opinion,
I think a leader must have capabilities to listen, understand, and treat people in respectful
ways even in tough situation. A leader must have patience to treat other people with cool and
calm nature. The behaviour of a leader makes him/her different from other people. In the
present work, the case of Kim and NUM has been discussed. This report is based on the Kim
and a NUM (Nursing Unit Manager) that how NUM behaved in an inappropriate manner
with Kim while they are working together in an intubation of cardiac arrest patient. The
purpose of this work is to understand the behaviour of a person in different situation
according to the help of Gibbs reflective cycle. The present work also help me to understand
my own strengths and weaknesses of my leadership style that can help me to deal with such
type of situation in my future career.
Gibbs Reflective Cycle
Gibbs Reflective cycle is the best technique to analyse the situation and give self-reflective
reviews about a particular situation. Gibbs Reflective cycle includes six step that help people
to analyse a particular situation. These phases of Gibbs Reflective model can be shown in the
below figure.

Feelings
A leader must have proper communication skills to deal with patience and these factors were
missing in the case. Apart from this, a leader should maintain the secrecy and privacy issue
while dealing other people is also analysed in this work through Gibbs Reflective Cycle
(O’Driscoll, Allan, and Smith, 2010). After analysing, the entire case I have found that Kim
and Registrar both should have patience while dealing with people and they must follow the
concept of “Respect for all” in the healthcare institution (Van Bogaert, Clarke, Willems, and
Mondelaers, 2013). However, the knowledge and attitude of Kim is also questionable here
that how she was failed to identify the right equipment which was required in intubation time.
As a student of nursing, I have found that a person or leader of an organisation must have
abilities to understand the core values and respect factors of other members in the
organisation (Trastek, Hamilton, and Niles, 2014). Here, registrar behaved in a wrong manner
with case. After analysis of the case, I found that registrar could ask about the equipment
again from Kim. Kim was depressed after that incident. The incident was not over after the
argument between Kim and Registrar rather when NUM ask about the incident to Kim in
public area in front of people; this was another issue that raises questions on the type of
leadership behaviour of Kim. A leader must follow the basic principles of trust, respect, and
fairness when he/she dealing with the people in an organisation (Chassin, 2013). Here, the
leader also avoided the privacy of issues of concern that could be discussed in private place
or in the office of NUM rather than public area.
