Leadership Strengths for Change Initiatives

For this week’s Discussion, you will examine project management processes as they relate to a change initiative that took place in your current or past workplace. You will also examine your own leadership strengths and discuss how you can apply them to support the change initiative.
To prepare:
Review your results from the Clifton Strengths Finder you completed in a previous course. If you do not have your results from your previous course, retake the Strengths Finder Assessment found in the Resources and save your results. (Note: If you already have a Strengths Finder account, you might login and still find your previous results in your account.)
Identify a recent change initiative in your current or past workplace (academic or practice setting) to use for this Discussion.
Review the Resources for this week as well as Standard 12 from the NPD Scope and Standards and the phases of project management in the Leadership in Nursing Professional Development and consider how each of the competency statements impact your change initiative for this Discussion.
By Day 3 of Week 11
Post a description of the change initiative you identified from your current or past workplace (academic or practice setting). Explain your analysis of the change initiative. Be specific.
Then, based on your awareness of this initiative, explain the process of how this project was managed and completed. Refer to the phases of project management to guide your explanation. Explain what went right and what went wrong with the initiative. Be specific.
Next, based on the success of the initiative, explain how your strengths identified in the Clifton Strengths Finder could provide support for this change initiative.
Finally, identify 5 competency statements from NPD Scope and Standards: Standard 12: Leadership and explain how each of these competency statements applied to the change initiative. Provide examples. If fewer than 5 competency statements applied, identify additional opportunities in which competencies should have been applied. (Note: You should have a total of 5 competency statements analyzed for this Discussion.)
