xplain how you would provide leadership for the implementation of the new system. Include a description of the leadership behaviors that would be most effective to position your staff for success based on their experience and needs.

My first duty as the new ED Nurse Manager in a busy ED with a 10% rise in the patient load is to lead the unit in the implementation of a patient tracking system. This implementation will be successful if I can position my staff to succeed based on experience and their needs.

In order to provide leadership in the implementation of the system, I will first explain the advantages of the system and how it can improve the work process of staff members as well as the care of patients. Staff would need to be trained on the new system. I’d also answer questions. In the course of the training I will give clear instructions and highlight the features and functions. I would take the time to hear their concerns, listen to any feedback they may have and then address them.

Supportive and directive styles of leadership are the most efficient ways to ensure my team’s success. It is recommended that newer and less-experienced nurses use the supportive style of leadership to help them adapt to the new systems. Directive leadership styles are best for nurses with experience who know how the system works and require clear instructions.

This implementation plan is based on my Clifton Strengths Signature Theme Report. My leadership profile identifies as Strategic Leader. In my role as a Strategic Leader, I can lead the implementation process of the new software by creating a plan that is clear and precise. My skills in planning and strategic thinking will help me communicate with my team effectively, to inspire confidence and keep them focused on the goal of the project.

The situational leadership theories supports my choice between supportive and directive styles of leadership. The theory states that the best leadership style is dependent on the experience and maturity of staff. New and less experienced nurses need more guidance, support and direction to adjust to the new system. On the other hand the experienced nurses need to be given clear directions and instructions on how they can implement the system.

The ability to implement situational management successfully will allow me to better advocate social change in my new organisation on behalf of patients. When I use situational leadership, I am able to inspire my staff members to deliver high-quality patient care, leading to better outcomes and increased satisfaction. Leaders can influence changes that improve outcomes for patients and promote a culture of excellence.

Implementing a new tracking system for patients requires leadership behavior that positions staff to succeed based on experience and their needs. If you use supportive and directive styles of leadership, along with situational leadership theories, your chances of success are increased. A strategic leader is also important for a successful implementation. Through the implementation of situational management, I am able to promote social change for the benefit of my patients.
