One section of your dissertation will be a literature review, which will be the foundation for your research. What is a literature review? A literature review summarizes and synthesizes arguments and ideas of others without adding new contributions.

The assignments in this class will provide you the opportunity to learn how to write a literature review as you analyze, evaluate, and synthesize existing literature on leadership constructs.

Historical leadership approaches provided the foundation for contemporary leadership theories as theorists gleaned and critically analyzed and evaluated historical leadership models. As a doctoral practitioner, your understanding of foundational historical leadership approaches and concepts will influence your understanding of contemporary leadership theories and how leadership has evolved.

Prepare a literature review of historical leadership approaches. The Historical Leadership section of the Example Paper must have a minimum of 600-words. Using the information from the matrix assignment from Week 1, compare and contrast the similarities and differences of each approach. Using the example paper as a template, include the following sections:

1. – Introduction

2. – The Great Man Theory

3. – Trait Theory

4. – Behavioral Theory

5. – Skills Approach

 One way informatics can be especially valuable is in capturing data to support quality improvements in practice. Nurse leaders play a pivotal role in leading and managing quality initiatives that impact patient outcomes, safety, and health care organizations’ compliance with regulatory agencies. For this assignment, you will locate 1-2 quality measures and determine how that measure will be incorporated in nursing and provider documentation. You will formulate requirements and a plan for collecting and reporting the data. You will also reflect on how you would lead and manage such a project.

In a paper of 1,500-1,750 words, address the following: answering each question

1. Identify the selected quality measure(s).
2. Describe your plan for collecting the data related to the measure. What key information/fields would be needed in the database for you to capture the needed data? How would this data be mapped to the quality measure(s)?
3. What role would the advanced registered nurse play in ensuring the correct data is captured? Which additional systems and staff members would need to be involved in the design and implementation process and team?
4. What professional, ethical, and regulatory standards must be incorporated into the design and implementation of the plan?
5. How would you communicate any necessary changes related to your plan to any affected stakeholders?
6. Describe the leadership skills and project management knowledge you would employ to successfully collaborate with the interprofessional team in this scenario to ensure your facility is providing evidence-based care to its patients?

You are required to cite 5-10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last five years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
