This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.
The purpose of this assignment is to assess leadership styles, traits, and practices as a nursing
professional, establish the importance of effective interprofessional communication as a leader in
nursing, and to explore the role of servant leadership in nursing practice.
Read the study materials on leadership and complete the topic quiz activities to better
understand your leadership qualities.

Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific
leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your
peers when it comes to being a leader.
As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have
learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders,
create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for
references at the end of your presentation.

1.Each group member: Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and
practices.
2.Compare the personal leadership styles of your group members, including commonalities
between group members’ strengths and weaknesses.

style, traits, and practices.
4.Discuss what leadership traits and styles are necessary to be an effective communicator.
Explain the importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working
interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community members).
5.Discuss how nursing professionals can benefit from integrating the tenets of servant leadership
to empower and influence others as they lead.

6.Discuss how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong understanding of their
