Question Description

Please respond with a paragraph to the following post, add citations and references:

A strong leader and manager would possess all five elements of emotional intelligence; self- awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skill (Huber 2014). As a leader, to be self- aware means to understand themselves, emotions, motivations, desires, weakness and strengths. When working with other people, especially on an authority level it is important to be able to connect with them on an emotional level. A strong leader who is self- aware would present as opened minded, mindful of strengths and weakness, has set boundaries in place, and practices self discipline. As a leader or manager, it is important to remember that you supervise several employees; all who are different in their own way, they have different work styles, beliefs, strengths and weakness themselves. Being self- aware is the first step to not only creating strong therapeutic relationship but also motivating and supporting others who turn to you for guidance.

In the field of nursing, many areas often deal the death in some form. As leader it is important not only to be self-aware concerning own emotions, strengths and weakness because this will allow you to comfort another nurse who may have come in contact with death the first time and struggling with the situation. Being self-aware would allow you to comfort them and aid them to becoming self-aware as well.
