After working with the agency and my coaches for the second week of this rotation, I have been continuously exposed to multiple scenarios where leadership skills were required.
January 10: On this day I was honored to sit in during a Westview team meeting, be part of a ostomy education session, participate in case review for the home care teams and partake in a rehab team meeting.

The true atmosphere of support and encouragement was refreshing, and it reflected the practice of leadership. Specifically, the experience was revolved around information disclosure, conflict management and staff safety. By reviewing credible sources I have gained knowledge on how to disclose information as per guidelines, as well as how to manage conflict if they should occur.

By doing this staff members can feel an ethical duty and address the son’s concerns by validating his feelings and working to make amends (Fiester, 2012). Yet, in regards to
