Leadership Attributes of the Advanced Practice Role:
Determine your leadership style (http://psychology.about.com/library/quiz/bl-leadershipquiz.htm).
Participative Leadership
Participative leaders accept input from one or more group members when making decisions and solving problems, but the leader retains the final say when choices are made. Group members tend to be encouraged and motivated by this style of leadership. This style of leadership often leads to more effective and accurate decisions, since no leader can be an expert in all areas. Input from group members with specialized knowledge and expertise creates a more complete basis for decision-making.
Identify leadership attributes you currently possess, and attributes you may need to develop – strong leadership.
Determine how to attain and evaluate those missing attributes.
