3 A Tall Order To do what we do is unique. The Long Term Care Professional Nurse Administrator and Leadership role is a unusual one as it requires solid skills such as proficient regulatory knowledge, strong interpersonal skills, ability to multi-task, success in interfacing with finance, understanding principles of risk management, usage of software, and a level of emotional intelligence that supports excellence in Human Resources to develop and stabilize your team not to mention to be a great nurse. An interesting Recipe First we need a pinch of E.I. \ Emotional Intelligence is the capacity of individuals to recognize their own, and other people s emotions, to discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and to manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one s goals. From Wikipedia 3

4 Then we need to add consistency... Leadership is not a Light Switch Leader On/Off (not) Ben Roethlisberger, a professional athleite states that the measure of a true leader is how they conduct themselves 24/7, not just during a winning touchdown drive or a goalline stance. Leadership is NOT something that gets switched off because the game clock expires or the survey is over... Leadership Switch Examples Examples ON Makes rounds daily Uses common pleasantries Speaks to all encountered during rounds Demonstrates consistency Remains fair and firm Treats others everyday as they would like to be Examples OFF Stops rounds after exit Makes little effort to be pleasant Does not speak to all unless visitors in center Is not consistent, decisions based on needs and wants 4

7 Recognizing Leadership Leadership is both a research area and a practical skill, regarding the ability of an individual or organization to "lead" or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations. Sphere of Influence A "sphere of influence" is a metaphor to express how far the effects of some power spreads. The sphere of influence of the head teacher would be their school, while the sphere of influence of a super power (eg the USA) is global. What is your sphere of influence? 7
