Describe Circle of Influence. - correct answer. Covey (1990) suggested our lives are
covered by two circles: a larger circle of everything your could possibly be concerned
about, and a smaller inner circle of things you can influence. He suggested that when
we focus on things and people we can influence our circle of influence gets larger.
Focusing on your circle of concern can lead to frustration, as these are things you
cannot influence. Focusing on your circle of concern can also reduce your circle of
influence as you are not paying attention to things and people you can influence.
Should the charge nurse take a regular patient assignment if the unit is short staffed? -
correct answer. The charge nurse, like the manager is assigned the duty of leading the
unit. Since that is the primary role, all options for staffing should be explored before
taking an assignment. If the charge nurse takes a full patient assignment, it means
nobody is leading the unit, which could be a problem if a crisis occurs, at which point the
charge nurse would either be distracted from the crisis or be distracted from caring for
her patient assignment. There are certain cases where the only solution is for the
, charge nurse to take an assignment. Ideally it should not be a full assignment so there
is still time to lead the unit.
What is the best way to provide a new charge nurse with experience? - correct answer.

role.

Actually it is the most effective to make assignments based on employee strength and
interest (Rath,2007) You cultivate leaders by allowing the nurse with the interest in
leading to lead.

How do you learn to be a leader? - correct answer. The best way is to work with a
mentor to develop a personal growth plan that uses textbooks, evidence based
leadership literature, attend leadership workshops and apply learning to action learning
experiences such as working as a charge nurse, observing good leaders, and attending
graduate school as a leadership major.

Define Autocratic Leadership. - correct answer. Autocratic leadership is one person in
charge who makes all or most of the decisions. It is generally not regarded as an
effective approach because it does not leave the workers feeling like they have a voice
in decisions and generally the leader does not have all the answers. There are
situations where autocratic leadership is effective such as a crisis or emergency, where
timely decisions need to be made.
What is Laissez-faire leadership? - correct answer. a delegate style in which the
