Module 5 Assignment 1: Organizational Analysis – Your Experience
Overview: Organizational Analysis – Your Experience
During the span of this course, you have been shadowing or have interviewed a nurse leader,
observing and reflecting on skills, behaviors, and strategies that the leader exhibits. You have
also assessed and reflected on your leadership and management styles and skills. Now you will
gather those thoughts in a more formal retrospective of your experience in the course. You may
notice that the rubric for the previous assignment is similar to the rubric for this assignment. Keep
in mind that the previous assignment you were presenting an analysis of the leader/manager that
you shadowed and with this assignment you are presenting an analysis of the overall experience
(which does include the time spent with your leader/manager).
