NURS FPX 5007 Assessment 2 Managing the Toxic Leader

Evaluation of Jackie’s Performance as a Leader

Based on the scenario, Jackie’s performance as a leader is lacking in several ways. She is not meeting professional performance standards and not providing effective leadership to her team. According to Spiva et al. (2021), nurse leaders must provide care and cooperation to patients. The main role of a nurse leader is to support and encourage the nurses by making sure that nurses must have enough knowledge and morals to care for the patients. 

Jackie has different issues with her performance. Jackie failed to communicate effectively with her team, specifically Kyle, about canceling the patient care conference. She also failed to respond to Kyle’s email promptly, which left him feeling unsupported and uncertain about how to manage a difficult patient. In a too-short sequined dress with large gold hoop earrings, a three-inch heel, and a too-short sequined dress, Jackie’s appearance and behavior were totally unprofessional. She also appeared to be engaged in inappropriate behavior with Martin, a younger and less senior nurse. A nurse should always dress appropriately and behave well to communicate with others. A study by Moore (2020) demonstrates that one of the major themes of effective leadership is communication. Nurse leaders should openly communicate with every nurse in the organization to avoid misunderstanding. Otherwise, it will lead to a crisis.

 When Kyle approached Jackie for guidance and support, she brushed him off and did not make time to address his concerns. She failed to provide the necessary resources and support to help him manage a challenging patient, which put other patients and staff at risk. In the study by Kelly et al. (2019), a large mix method study was conducted to examine compassion satisfaction and report burnout in nurse leaders. The professional quality of life scale was given to 29 nurses in a healthcare system. In qualitative interviews, sixteen leaders participated from two different hospitals. The result shows nurse leaders can gather compassion through support and peer-staff interaction.
