Conscientious people are organized, reliable, and dependable. Without this factor in the leader’s personality, the nurse manager might find herself forgetting tasks and meetings, and running unorganized units that will only create a chaotic situation for the nurses and the patients. The leader must be able to keep track of all things in the unit, all the patients, and all of the responsibilities of the nurses, including their own. ]]> 2017-11-06 03:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203723827 Agreeableness butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203724191 Agreeableness is necessary to be a successful leader. The ability to be able to be compassionate, sympathetic, trustworthy, and willing to be able to help are all things a nurse should possess in the first place. The factor of agreeableness is needed for proper delegation and managing issues on the unit. A nurse manager must be available to be understanding and helpful in situations in which her nursing team may need him or her, such as a new nurse feeling overwhelmed with her tasks for the day. ]]> 2017-11-06 03:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203724191 butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203724671 2017-11-06 03:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203724671 butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203724864 2017-11-06 03:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203724864 Openess butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203725412 Openness is the ability to think creatively and exhibit curiosity. This is an excellent trait for nurse leaders to have, because it encourages what is to be known as ‘thinking outside the box’. A creative nurse manager will be more open and acceptable of the creativity and curiosity of their team members. This allows for confidence in the nurses to be able to be themselves and to share their ideas. ]]> 2017-11-06 03:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203725412 Neuroticism butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203726446 Neuroticism can influence how organized a leader can be. A leader must be low in neuroticism to be able to function properly in the unit. If a leader is too quick to get anxious or angry, this can negatively influence the team, causing them to have feelings of anxiety and anger also. In general, people exhibiting high neuroticism are less likely to be seen as leaders (Judge, Bono, Ilies, & Gerhardt, 2002). ]]> 2017-11-06 03:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203726446 Extraversion butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203726807 Results from a recent study show that introverts and extroverts were equally effective as leaders, and that if all hospitals were to limit their leadership selection to just extroverted people, they would be missing out on a lot of people who have great potential to be leaders in the unit (Atamanik, 2013). I believe that introverts are just as intelligent as extroverts. The personality of a potential nurse leader should not hinder them from being the manager they want to be. Evidence shows that introverts in leadership are just as respected as extroverts in leadership (Atamanik, 2013). Therefore, I do not believe that all nurse leaders must be extroverted to be successful. ]]> 2017-11-06 03:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/203726807 butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/204651277 2017-11-08 02:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/204651277 Introduction butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/204843973 There are many traits that can contribute to being a successful nurse leader, such as agreeability, prioritization skills, and emotional stability. The big five personality traits shown in this Padlet will help give direction and insight on what personality traits have been shown to be prevalent in leaders.]]> 2017-11-08 15:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/204843973 References butterflygrlpr https://padlet.com/butterflygrlpr/1rop7siesqka/wish/204857827 Atamanik, C.
