  In this present day, nursing leadership has proved to have more value than ever.. Examining my effectiveness as an effective nursing Leader surrounds all my leadership values, believes, actions and practice based on either social life, personal organization, teamwork in ensuring effectiveness and success. This paper seeks to explore nursing leadership by self-examining my leadership skills as an assessment of my leadership skills with regards to the nursing profession.
            As an effective, nursing leader, I seek to possess an inner compass that directs all my value actions in focus to positively influence the people around me or within my nursing team as a focus towards productivity in my nursing profession.
Section 1; Nursing Leadership values and beliefs
               I am a great enthusiast and also possess a great passion for my nursing profession. This interest in Nursing is my guiding compass onto embracing effective values and practices that shall guarantee my efficiency in serving the global society. I ultimately believe that the nursing profession is a God-given field of care and once one enters into the profession, he/she is in for the overhaul to meet the societal healthcare needs. With this belief, I have chosen to set my nursing practice behaviors in control to ensure utmost efficiency in organizing my nursing practices. Integrity and trustworthy are my primary priority whenever I engage in any nursing practice I always involve the patients in the nursing practices by sharing honest insights on the practices to ensure winning their trust for my practice. Effective leaders are ought to possess great quality of integrity to assure the core stakeholders of the healthcare sectors on productivity.
            I am a positive believer as I always assure my team members that everything is possible that has worked in many instances where I have been able to convince other team members to embracing positivity and refrain from being negative of the unseen outcome. Also, I respect and value the perspectives of other people thus allow all my team members to undertake their practices at their will and view as long as productivity shall be met. With this, I have adopted leadership by being a change agent and accepting responsibilities that entail being accountable for any nursing practices I undertake either individually or as a group.
Section 2; Leadership Knowledge and skills
             I am a person of missions and visions in my nursing profession hence in the spirit of instilling a wholly nursing productivity; I can share my vision with others in a bid to ensure meeting the common goal.  I am also a great enthusiast of becoming an inspiration to others through success hence has enabled me to inspire my team members onto following a constructive path. This being succinctly agrees with the McClelland’s theory that describes the three motivational needs of employees whereby the behavior portrays the need for achievements and power.
            I can effectively manage conflicts as I greatly believe in peace and good relations with being a core requirement for ensuring efficiency in service delivery.  I have often emphasized on elusion from conflicts and also often engage in the provision of resolutions to conflicts, ability has often given me an added advantage and more competent in undertaking my nursing practices. The working competencies of conflict resolution are relevant and also evident as emphasized by Gaudine and Lamb (2014 p. 297). I can enhance collaboration and cooperation amongst my team members, an effort, and skill solely built from my emphasis on the sense of community and collaboration in the nursing profession.. This ability has enabled me to build up an effective coalition around the nursing practices that have allowed multiple successes in finding solutions to the societal problems.
              Weaknesses
             First, I have a difficulty in the balance between my personal life and work life. I need to put more effort on balancing out my efforts between the professional life and the personal life of which I intend to achieve this by seeking ultimate mentorship from more experienced parties and also by establishing a succinct plan to carry effectively out both my personal and work life.   Besides, I also find it hard to solve the problems that I find less interest in regardless of my role in the problem solution; a weakness that has greatly compromised my efficiency in my nursing profession. I plan engage in more problem-solving practices of which I can use my extensive skills in researching to gain more knowledge on how I can effectively handle problems. Decision-making models such as the rational decision making model and the innovative decision making model may come in handy in learning proper means of providing solutions.
            In conclusion, I have undertaken an intensive self-assessment on my nursing leadership. My ability to communicate effectively inspires, motivate, solve conflicts, practical values, and beliefs gives me the ultimate character of an efficient nursing leader. However lacking the ability to control and solve problems outside my interests stand out as my primary weaknesses. Through a plan seeking to research more, seek mentorship and engage in problem-solving practices, I ought to improve my effectiveness as a nursing leader.
