Summary
Focusing on self-awareness, or "The Leader Within," improved leadership skills for nurse managers (NMs) and assistant nurse managers (ANMs). This reflective practice enhanced both the science and art of leadership, aiding career planning.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Leadership
- Healthcare Management
- Professional Development
Background:
- Nurse leaders require enhanced competencies for current and future roles.
- A 2-day facilitated workshop focused on self-awareness ('The Leader Within') to improve leadership skills.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of a workshop emphasizing self-awareness on leadership competency among nurse managers (NMs) and assistant nurse managers (ANMs).
- To determine if focusing on 'The Leader Within' improves the science and art of leadership.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental design using the Nurse Manager Skills Inventory (NMSI) for precompetency and 8-month postcompetency assessments.
- Surveys and interviews were conducted, with 41 nurses completing the pretest and 17 completing the posttest.
Main Results:
- The study included 50% NMs and 50% ANMs with an average age of 38.4 years and 8.2 years of experience.
- Self-rated leadership competency scores improved significantly across all NMSI sections (Science, Art, and The Leader Within) at the 8-month posttest.
Conclusions:
- Cultivating self-awareness ('The Leader Within') promotes reflective practice in nurse leaders.
- This reflective practice can lead to more intentional development of leadership competencies and career planning.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...
