Begin by identifying and interviewing a nurse leader in your work area or one that you admire. Write up some questions in advance to keep you on track. Often, without preparation, the discussion can get off track. Set questions will help you with time and content. Questions should focus on leadership style, challenges as a leader, philosophy, and problem-solving techniques. Create a summary of your interview and analyze the leadership philosophy, leadership style, and problem-solving techniques. Reference a specific leadership style from your text or another scholarly source
