Introduction Strong leadership is required to establish a healthy working environment at all levels of an organization. Evidence shows that the presence of a nurse leader in an emergency department of a health facility makes the working environment healthy while at the same time increasing staff retention. In line with this, the American Association of Critical Care Nurses has revealed that for optimal performance of staff and improved patient care, nurse leadership needs to be developed. I have realized the importance of nurse leadership. For this reason, I intend to share my experience at my workplace and relate it with various theories, leadership styles, and technology. Experience with the Supervisor As quoted by Lachlan Mclean, “You can only lead others when you are willing to go.” My Emergency Room Director at Providence Park in the Emergency Department (ED) is an example of this. She allows us to help and motivate each other to become better through teamwork. She creates a positive working environment where all nurses can improve themselves through creativity and sharing of information. At one time, she asked for my opinion on the ED and on how she could make it better. It was an excellent opportunity to be creative and contribute to the improvement of this department. Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) The Emergency Nurses Association was formed to serve emergency nurses in different ways. The main purpose of ENA is to enhance service delivery through continuous training, research, and funding of other projects. The services offered by ENA ensure continuous improvement of service delivery. It also assists in finding solutions to new problems in the field of nursing (Hammond & Zimmermann, 2012). In addition, ENA provides an opportunity for one to contest for a position in management. One crucial role of ENA in the emergency room (ER) is leadership training. Leadership training is essential in the emergency room as it contributes to coordination and teamwork. ENA has gone further to partner with ENA Foundation in order to improve service delivery. Time Management According to Magnet’s Model of transformational leadership, time management, and leadership cannot be separated. My area of operation deals with emergencies and patients in critical conditions. As such, time wastage jeopardizes the lives of patients. In sharpening my time management skills, I have resorted to prioritizing and delegating duties. Prioritizing has allowed me to deal with urgent issues while delegation has enabled me to seek the help of my subordinates. Otherwise, as a team leader, possession of such qualities has enabled me to inspire and create a sense of commitment among my team members. Leadership Skills The issues of leadership and management have been taken to mean the same thing. However, a manager exerts authority over others. This means that, others are not involved in decision-making unlike in leadership where the views of all stakeholders are taken into consideration. Since leadership calls for the participation of all, it is important that managers possess some leadership skills to enhance teamwork. Nurse leaders can execute their functions efficiently depending on how powerful they are. There are various sources of power. They include the legislative, professional qualification and personal qualities. The legislative provides rules and regulations meant to guide the activities of nurses. They
