The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE)

 My Personal Leadership Analysis The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) has identified critical competencies for nurse managers found at www.aone.org. During this course, we focus on the “Leader Within,” utilizing the set of guidelines and tenants which facilitate reflective practice. The “Dimensions of Leadership” developed by the Center for Nursing Leadership, offer an example of a set of guidelines/tenants that can be used as a tool to guide personal reflection of an individual’s leadership behaviors. Reflection includes a definition of the concept to demonstrate understanding and an example of how you have used or will potentially use this skill. Utilizing what you have learned (from the AONE Nurse Manager competencies, your assigned Nurse Leader, class discussions, assigned readings, videos, podcasts and articles, and discussion forums) write a scholarly paper presenting a reflection of your personal leadership best practices (actual and/or aspirational) incorporating ALL of the following content points: 1. Holding the truth: The presence of integrity as a key value of leadership. 2. Appreciation of ambiguity: Learning to function comfortably amid the ambiguity of our environments. 3. Diversity as a vehicle to wholeness: The appreciation of diversity in all its forms: race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, generational, the dissenting voice and differences of all kinds. 4. Holding multiple perspectives without judgment: Creation and holding a space so that multiple perspectives are entertained before decisions are rendered. 5. Discovery of potential: The ability to search for and find the potential in ourselves and in others. 6. Quest for adventure towards knowing: Creating a constant state of learning for the self, as well as an organization. 7. Knowing something of life: The use of reflective learning and translation of that learning to the work at hand. 8. Nurturing the intellectual and emotional self: Constantly increasing one’s knowledge of the world and the development of the emotional self. 9. Keeping commitments to oneself: Creating the balance that regenerates and renews the spirit and body so that it can continue to grow.
