Your objective for this assignment is to learn about the leadership styles that are used by nurse leaders in health care. Conduct a phone interview with a nurse leader. After establishing rapport, ask questions such as the following: **Describe your leadership position. **Describe your leadership style. **In what ways do you think your leadership style has changed as you have gained more experience as a leader? **Did you have a mentor? If so, what skills did you gain as a result of that relationship? **Describe a change management project that you led and the steps taken to implement the change and to measure the effectiveness of that change. **What obstacles did you face in implementing the change project? **Describe how you would use your leadership skills to mentor a new nurse leader. **In your opinion, what is the greatest challenge facing nurse leaders today in health care? (This question will be used in a later Discussion Board assignment.) After the interview, write up the narrative of your interview describing the responses of the nurse leader. You should have the following headings in your paper: **Description of the nurse leader’s position **Description of the nurse leader’s style and where it fits with the theories discussed in Unit I **Description of the nurse leader’s experience with a change management project including the implementation of the change and the evaluation of the change **Description of obstacles a nurse leader may face in implementing change **Description of leadership skills used to mentor a new nurse leader **Discuss the value of a mentor **Describe what you would look for in a mentor if you were in a new nurse leader position **Conclusion -Based on your interview and what you have learned thus far, is an effective leadership style used by this nurse leader?
