Core Factors of Knowledge and Skills Discussion

There are five core factors of knowledge and skills that nurse’s need to be aware of and practice in order to become effective leaders. These five factors are: (1) being able to motivate your team members to accomplish specific team goals, (2) being able to communicate assertively, (3) manage stress in a positive, effective manner, (4) being able to build a team who are respectful of others and cooperative, and (5) being able to solve problems effectively (Hill & Howlett, 2013).

Choose two of these factors, you feel are most important in leadership, and explain why you feel they are important and give one example of how you would implement each factor as a nurse supervisor. Please use cite outside sources used.

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.
