Step 1: Identify an Issue/Challenge
- Reflect on your personal experiences as a nurse and as an advanced practice nursing student to think of one significant leadership issue or challenge in the healthcare setting.
- Reflect upon how this issue/challenge could be improved by utilizing one of the leadership theories presented in this course.
Step 2: Select a Leadership Theory/Model or Framework
Select one theory/model or framework upon which to base your project. Choose one of the following theories:
- Transformational Leadership Theory (Northouse, Chapter 8)
- Servant Leadership Theory (Northouse, Chapter 10)
- Leader-Member Exchange Theory (Northouse, Chapter 7)
- Authentic Leadership Theory, (Northouse, Chapter 9)
Step 3: Reflect and Prepare Photos
- Reflect upon how the issue/challenge you identified in Step 1 could be improved by utilizing your chosen theory.
- Select three photos illustrating the issue/challenge and write reflections for each. A reflection is defined as one to three sentences explaining the meaning of the photo and its application to the challenge or solution.
- Select three additional photos illustrating a potential solution as guided by the leadership theory you selected.
Important Reminders
- Do not use faces of people in the photos; photos of hands, feet, people from the back can be used, but not faces where an individual can be identified.
- Photos cannot be taken inside a clinical setting.
- Photos may represent abstract concepts and should illustrate the reflection.
- For the three photos illustrating the issue/challenge and the three photos illustrating a potential solution, photos should be taken by the student.
- Do not use or copy photos from the Internet or other sources for the three photos illustrating the issue/challenge, or the three photos illustrating a potential solution.
- Do not use clip art for the three photos illustrating the issue/challenge, or the three photos illustrating a potential solution.
- You may choose to use photos that you have taken in the past.
Step 4: Develop Presentation
Create a final PowerPoint presentation that includes:
- An overview of your selected leadership theory/model or framework.
- The definition of the PhotoVoice methodology.
- An analysis* of your healthcare leadership issue/challenge and potential solutions as guided by the leadership theory.
- At least three photographs representing the leadership issue/challenge.
- At least three photographs representing potential solutions as guided by the chosen leadership theory.
- A final APA References slide to credit sources.
Organize your presentation using the major headings from the rubric below, ensuring the minimum number of slides is met. No audio or voice-over recording required. The presentation should be slides only.
*Analysis may also include sub-themes under the issues/challenges and potential solutions sections. A sub-theme is a theme secondary to the larger theme. For example, the theme of challenges to leadership could include a sub-theme of “inherent hierarchy.”
