Nurse leadership has a significant influence on the healthcare environment. The leaders
of the nursing profession have a responsibility to care and give services to the patient and their
kin to enjoy the facility. A nurse leader serves as a source of motivation and plays role model to
make an effort to manage the responsibilities and take the tasks assigned to them and also the
healthcare facilities can receive a source of positive change. There should be a leadership quality
in every nurse to lead people. The report analyses my strengths and weaknesses with a particular
interest based on personal and professional accountability, personal journey, career planning,
workplace changes, disciplines reflective practice, and strategic thinking.
Taking into consideration of a nurse profession, my professional and personal liability
will be necessary for patients so that they can receive quality care and services from me.
Personal commitment refers to the ability to respond to their action. Personally, as a nurse leader,
I make an effort to commit my duties and try every possible way to achieve a positive result.
Next is the Professional accountability which refers to the moral and ethical commitment
necessary for the nursing profession. In this case, personally, I prefer to have high morals and
values to integrate while rendering the services of healthcare to the patients. I usually have a
weakness to rush and make things done as quickly as possible. To work better in a collaborative
team, I am trying to make an effort with the teamwork.
Personally, I have qualified as a registered nurse, and I plan to study further and
specialise to become a pediatric care. If I tell about my weakness, it will be the time management
skill. For me, it is difficult to manage time for my research due to a tight schedule.
I have accepted the shared leadership as a nurse leader. Therefore, in a team, I encourage
my team members to play the lead roles and take an expert field. My disadvantage is I lack

patience. The reason for it is I expect my colleague can take the leadership role so that the
expectation of the team is higher depending on their performance.
Reflective practice is the knowledge for active practice to achieve the leadership
behaviour. I also have a tenet in encouraging my colleague to unite and support their lives. I have
reached most of the potential within self and in a colleague. Woefully, there was a complaint
from some of my closest colleagues that I push them to the limit of a perfectionist. To minimise
my push for perfection I work, with the employee's zeal and potential to outperform themselves.
I integrated my leadership strength to create a professional work environment and ensure
that the patient receives quality care. In my career of nursing professional, I realised it as quite
demanding. In that case, I could not give time to my studies. As a leader, I encourage the nurses
to take it as a learning process rather than demonstrating the dominance of it.
Strategic thinking involves a unique ability to achieve the situations face value.
Personally, in the nursing profession, I thought of my diplomatic thinking skills to improve in
enhancing my overall performance of implementing the plan. I also plan to resolve the problem
of my work with appropriate time management skill. I started to design and analyse the situation
to make sure that I can enervate the choice of the solutions. To allow an individual to believe that
the consequence of each activity is also taking time to resolve a problem hence regulates the
work with the most significant benefits. I will then be able to achieve success in my diplomatic
planning efforts through strategic thinking. The healthcare sector enhances the quality of services
to render the patient's room for improvements about service provision.
From the above report, I can conclude that I can improve the leadership qualities of my
inner self as a nurse leader. For me, it is essential to achieve professional and personal

accountability. My potential as a nurse has demonstrated through my performance and practice.
My second facet is my career plan as a leader of the nurse in which I have understood my
position and the direction to plan my future in the nursing profession. As a nurse leader, I have
played a role model to other nurses with my strong leadership skills. Through strategic thinking,
a nurse leader could achieve the situations face value and make a unique plan for the healthcare
facility.
