Topic > Characteristics of Servant Leadership in Nursing

I believe the importance of being a servant leader is huge and very respectable. After reading I realize that what I thought of as a “leader” or “manager” was not necessarily what he actually is. Leadership roles are important even if you are not at the top of an organization, implementing this leadership style can be done even as a fresh graduate. When I become a nurse I believe I will use what I have learned from this book in my practice. I really enjoyed reading The Servant and I think it was important to learn how being a leader affects your life. I no longer believe that leaders should simply sit in an office and tell people what to do, as many think they do. The servant leadership style showed me that a leader should always try to help do everything possible so that their team members can succeed and work at their maximum potential. While I never thought I would want to have the responsibility of being a leader, this has taught me that it is important to always be a good leader, even if you are not in a “position” that requires you to be one. People look to your example even when you don't think they do, it's important to implement and learn new skills
