2 Leadership Skills and Mindset Reflection 1. Explain the differences between the roles of a leader and a manager. While the roles of manager and leader overlap significantly, the key difference is in their technique for achieving corporate goals (Pandey, 2023). A manager is more concerned with resource management and procedure optimization, but a leader is more concerned with encouraging and allowing staff to work together toward a common goal. A manager's primary responsibility is to strategize, coordinate, and monitor resources in order to achieve definite set objectives within an entity (Pandey, 2023). They focus on managing individuals, procedures, and systems management to ensure that activities run smoothly and effectively. The role of a leader, on the other hand, is to inspire and encourage people to strive toward a shared goal (Pandey, 2023). They focus on building connections and fostering a culture of trust and teamwork inside a firm. They are accountable for establishing a clear vision and guidance, effectively communicating, and encouraging people to take responsibility (Pandey, 2023). 2. Identify three present leadership skills and three present management skills (i.e., skills you possess). Management Skills I possess organization skills since I create and manage processes, assess advances, prioritize things, and keep groups on track to reach certain objectives. Since I am responsible for certain operation’s daily progress, it becomes evident that I must be an excellent time manager. I finish assignments on time, meeting the deadlines through the effective time management skills I possess.

3 While I am able to execute work on my own, I am also able to delegate duties to others and trust that they will be completed correctly. Delegating duties entails determining the strengths of team members and delegating duties accordingly (Boogaard, 2019). Leadership Skills I am always more concerned with the strategic approach and the overall direction of the day-to-day operations in my personal and professional life. Given this, I have a vision skill and the capacity to think strategically in order to sail the vessels. I focus on motivation and empowerment rather than technical details. I always teach my team members to identify answers rather than guide them only. Because of my communication skills, I understand when to take the initiative and when to back off and let others speak for themselves. I possess a high degree of emotional intelligence, which helps me inspire others to abide by me rather than direct them to follow. I understand and empathize with others, build trust and genuine bonds with them, and then encourage them correspondingly. b. Provide an example of how you use each of the leadership and management skills identified in part 2 in your practice. Management Skills Maintaining structure in my profession entails developing and sticking to project plans. I utilize Gantt charts to outline activities productively, set deadlines, and assign resources. My organizational skills guarantee that every team member knows their position and makes a significant contribution to the successful completion of the project.

4 Using effective approaches such as the Eisenhower matrix, I optimize jobs based on urgency and gravity. I guarantee that projects move forward smoothly and without needless backlogs through time management. In a recent project, I allocated research work to a team member with relevant experience. Not only did my delegation skills improve our workflow, but they also empowered group members by acknowledging their abilities. Leadership Skills I provided a clear picture of the final objective and the value it would bring to a team project. This energized team members, uniting them around a shared goal. During a difficult time, I started holding regular group meetings to deliver updates, address issues, and inspire open dialogue. Through communication, the team members remained knowledgeable and involved and worked effectively as a team. I stayed calm and controlled in high-pressure circumstances, calming group members and assisting in defusing stress. This emotional steadiness aided the group's overall performance. 3. Identify three absent leadership skills and three absent management skills (i.e., skills you currently lack). Provide an example of how you can improve upon each of the three absent leadership skills Absent Leadership Skills I cannot analytically consider the firm's long-term objectives and connect them with its mission. I lack strategic thinking skills; thus, I experience challenges in predicting difficulties and prospects. I can develop strategic thinking skills by engaging in strategic planning exercises, analyzing industry inclinations, and seeking mentoring from strategic leaders.

5 I lack the empowerment skills to motivate my group members and cultivate an environment of autonomy and accountability. To improve my empowerment skills, I can attend training in leadership coaching, practice effective listening, and cultivate a trusting culture. I find it difficult to negotiate crises skillfully, maintaining self-control and making judgments under duress. Fast and effective decision-making, interaction, and adaptation are required for crisis management (Owen, 2020), a skill I lack. To develop crisis management skills, I can engage in crisis simulation sessions, learn from competent professionals, and pursue expert development. Absent Management Skills I lack the project management skill that entails project planning, organization, and management from start to finish (Viera & Kramer, 2020). To manage my project management skills, I can pursue accreditations in project management, take project management courses, and effectively manage projects to obtain hands-on experience. I experience some difficulties in monitoring and analyzing operations’ effectiveness since I lack performance metrics and analytics skills. To develop skills in performance metrics and analytics, I can attend data analysis classes, employ analytics tools to gain experience, and cooperate with data-driven decision-making professionals. I rarely supervise operational changes since I do not possess the change management skills necessary. Good change management is critical for seamless transitions. Recognizing the human side of change, conveying changes properly, and handling serious internal opposition are all part of this (Viera & Kramer, 2020). I can improve my change management skills by engaging in change management workshops, making an effort to understand change management approaches, and getting experience coaching teams through change projects.

6 D. Explain the importance of a leadership mindset and how it influences your professional practice, including the following: 1. Discuss how having a leadership mindset supports long-term personal growth, including two examples. A leadership attitude promotes long-term personal progress through: A leadership mindset supports long-term personal growth through continuous learning and adaptability. Leaders understand that the world is continuously changing and that in order to remain relevant, they must be open to new ideas, views, and expertise (Ngwana, 2023). Since I operate in a rapidly changing industry, instead of depending exclusively on my present skills and abilities, my leadership mentality would routinely seek out seminars, online courses, and industry conferences to remain informed of the newest developments. I also actively seek input from mentors and coworkers in order to adjust my skill set to suit the changing needs of my sector. A leadership mindset also supports long-term personal growth through resilience and goal Setting. Leaders recognize that failures are an inevitable part of the progress toward personal growth and achievement. Instead of being disheartened by difficulties, they see them as chances to learn and grow (Britto, 2019). If I wish to advance to a position of leadership within my institution, I would not be discouraged by first hurdles or rejections since I possess a leadership attitude. Conversely, each event is an opportunity to hone my talents, get constructive criticism, and alter my strategy. I would work diligently toward earning the essential skills and experiences for a leadership role by setting regular goals. E. Discuss how you would ensure equity and inclusivity as a leader in a healthcare environment, including two examples.

7 As a healthcare leader, maintaining fairness and inclusiveness is critical to establishing a supportive and convenient healthcare environment (Booysen & Gill, 2020). I would optimize diverse representation at all stages of the healthcare institution to enhance equity. This entails aggressively pursuing and assisting persons from underprivileged backgrounds in positions of leadership. I would also champion for culturally competent care techniques to increase inclusion. This involves offering cultural awareness, linguistic availability, and comprehension of varied health perceptions to healthcare providers.
