Remember your introduction post? You described ways in which you are a leader and manager whether informally or formally. As you reflect on your comments, what have you learned that reinforces, challenges, or changes your perspectives? What areas have you learned you would like to intentionally develop?

A goal for most nurse administrators/executives is to transform nursing practice through leadership approaches. Most leaders have the capacity to become transformational in their leadership approaches, but to do so requires intentional self and professional development.

1. Reflect on three concepts within contemporary leadership approaches that resonate with you as areas to work on as you follow the path in becoming a transformational leader.
2. state a SMART goal to move you along the path.
