Question
John is interested in leadership positions within his nursing organization. Although he has been on the same unit for 10 years, he has attended two workshops during that time and has steadfastly refused opportunities to engage in leadership development opportunities or other learning offered as part of the hospital’s succession planning strategy. He says that he is interested in a leadership role primarily because it will give him a more stable work schedule and will enable him to spend more time with his family. In coaching John, it would be important to:
A reinforce that his concern with maintaining balance outside work would be a key factor in selecting him for a leadership position.
B affirm that his years of service and stability on the unit are the most important attributes for assumption of a leadership role.
C encourage him to consider the financial rewards of the position, as well as the positive effect on his work schedule.
D encourage him to seek out new experiences and learning that will complement his existing strengths derived from experience and his interest in work–life balance.
