Everyday Leadership

Watch “TEDTalks: Drew Dudley—Everyday Leadership” from this week's Electronic Reserve Readings.

As you watch, think of the ways you can impact people's lives each day.

Professional Development for Everyday Leadership

Write a list of goals that you have for personal and professional development (e.g., make a public speech, write an article, hold an officer position, conduct research, gain experience as a manager). For each of the goals, identify the first small step you need to take toward achieving that goal.

Think of how this exercise relates to everyday leadership as you are writing the goals.

Delegation

Search the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) website for their joint statement on delegation.

Review the Joint Statement on Delegation by the NCSBN and the ANA.

Write a 90-word summary explaining three ways you can improve your delegation skills as a leader.

Local campus students: Prepare to present and discuss your summary in the next class meeting.

Online students: Post your summary and respond to at least one classmate's post.
