NR 447 Week 7 Discussion Question, Our Future Leaders (Two Responses)
In Huston’s (2010) brief, but impressive article (required reading this week),
the author outlines several leadership competencies that EVERY nurse leader
will need for 2020. That year is not too far in the future, is it?
Select one of the eight leadership competencies Huston described and
relate it to your own leadership of nurses and nursing. This should promote
a robust discussion as we come from different clinical and nonclinical
perspectives.
Discuss how the BSN-prepared nurse can assist a nurse leader in the
budgeting process by contributing data readily available to the staff nurse.

definitely feel like I have a few things to work on as a leader in my department. I work in a very
busy community ED and I feel like I am consistently working on incorporating the collaboration
and team building skills, for myself as well as my team. I definitely have seen a need for
increased team building, just as the article stated, when it talked about the health of people in
2020 complicating teamwork instead of easing it (2010). It seems that with the combination of
sicker patients these days and an upcoming generation that seems to not have quite the same
work ethics that some of us older ones have, the teamwork seems to be more difficult to
accomplish. This makes those of us who are leaders in the department have to get creative in
order to get people to take ownership of their department and work together as a team. I have
to admit, this is not easy at all and I have definitely not completely figured out how to bring
everyone together; however, we have made a lot of progress. One thing that we did, not even
really intending to bring about a sense of teamwork, but just about simplifying the schedule,
