For this assignment, you will interview an Advanced Practice Nurse in a practice setting that is a leader within your specialty
OR if you have someone who is a great leader but not necessarily a CRNA leader this is okay, the intent is for you to interview someone who you believes demonstrates excellence in leadership
I chose my stepdad, Raul H. Rodriguez. He is a Chief Firefighter, the highest-ranking officer in the fire department.
Create 8-10 questions that focus on leadership and change within their organization and inquire about a specific problem/issue for which she/he provided a solution or instituted a practice change.
Questions are:
1. Describe a time when you made a positive change in your organization. What was the issue, and how did you address it?
2. How do you motivate your team to embrace change and new ideas?
3. Can you share an example of a time when you had to lead your team through a challenging change? How did you handle it?
4. What strategies do you use to communicate changes effectively to your team?
5. How do you encourage innovation and continuous improvement within your team?
6. Have you ever faced resistance to a change you proposed? How did you manage it?
7. Share a tough decision you made that led to positive change in your organization.
8. How do you empower your team to take on leadership roles and drive change?
9. Can you talk about a successful collaboration that brought about significant organizational change?
10. How do you ensure that new ideas for change are well received and implemented within your organization?
Include a brief summary of how the practice change was accomplished. Summarize the highlights and learning points of the interview and provide your interviewee’s background, education, membership in professional organizations, and how long he/she’s been with their current practice, etc. Lastly, identify some course concepts that are applicable to the leader you interviewed and describe how the concepts are applicable.

Some information from book that can be referenced:
Leadership is the discipline and art of guiding, directing, motivating, and inspiring a group toward achieving a common goal. A great leader requires many components, such as managing people and information, committing to goals and energy, engaging with others and activities, and using power wisely. Leading in nursing is about more than just guiding others toward a desired outcome. It’s about using good judgment, wise decision-making, and knowledge, but above all, it’s about being an advocate. A leader in nursing is a voice for health and dignity, empowering others and taking responsibility for their well-being. (Marshall & Broome, 2021, p.14) As future healthcare leaders, it is important to be a trailblazer because we are the new leaders of our generation. We will lead change to generate human talent and resources to innovate and improve care. (Marshall & Broome, 2021, p.46)
