Time Management Assignment

This assignment is about you. It is an assessment of your abilities and traits.

Every week you will complete a personal assessment–your own personal leadership framework.

This Time Management Assignment will help you figure out what style of leadership you have been following and whether this style works for you.

Through this assignment, you will find the various approaches of leadership that complement each other. There is no one theory that describes the only way to be an effective leader. Each theory focuses on different issues, but they all help you to better understand how to become a successful leader.

Using the University Online Library or the Internet, research about Time Management Assessment.

Note
: You can also use the following link to access the Time Management Assessment: 
http://literacynet.org/icans/chapter03/timemgmt.html

Based on your research and understanding, create a paper in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that:

Incorporates your time management self-assessment information and the concepts learned this week (leadership theories, leadership versus management, professional nursing organizations, and time management).

Includes identification of one leadership theory, which you feel best describes your leadership style.

Includes a comparison between leadership and management.

Includes a suggestion on how to apply this week’s concepts to the work environment.

Support your Time Management Assignment responses with examples.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format.

Use the APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources.

This handout will provide you the details of formatting your essay using APA style.

You may create your essay in this APA-formatted template.

Each student will select one technology application and describe its use within nursing in general or in patient education. Address the significance of the selected technology, attributes of the selected technology (i.e., accuracy, cost, accessibility, etc.), and provide specific examples with rationale of situations in which the technology application as an educational tool would provide advantages as well as disadvantages. In addition, relate the use of the selected technology application to the appropriate professional standards and competencies.
