Intentional Analysis of your Leader Self-Efficacy
Purpose: The purpose of this presentation is to engage the participants in reflecting on the foundations of their leader self-efficacy, maximizing their leader self-efficacy, and creating an action plan which build on the known leader self-efficacy beliefs reflected upon during this presentaion.Methods and/or Description of Project: The need to develop academic and clinical leaders is a pervasive discussion topic throughout the physical therapy profession. Physical therapists are leaders, both formal, as identified by position, and informal, as demonstrated through interactions with your patients. You are a leader and are not defined solely by your title, position, or organizational role. Every person exhibits leader behaviors at various times. Self-efficacy is the belief that you can successfully execute a behavior toward a desired outcome. There is a causal relationship between the level of self-efficacy possessed and the achieved outcome; those with high self-efficacy will attribute a failure to their own lack of effort whereas those with low self-efficacy will contribute a failure to deficient abilities or lay the blame elsewhere. Therefore, it is believed that efficacy has a profound effect on personal development as it is partially dependent on self-efficacy beliefs that people choose what activities to take part in, how long to persevere, or what challenges to undertake. Evidence suggests that physical therapists believe they can successfully executes the various skills of leadership. However; the rich discussions on leadership development would imply that physical therapists are not maximizing these self-efficacy beliefs.Results/Outcomes: This action-rich presentation will focus on the concepts which impact leader self-efficacy: performance accomplishment, vicarious experience, emotional/psychological state, and verbal persuasion. Within the presentation and discussion of each concept, the participant will be invested in exploring the impact of that concept on their leader self-efficacy beliefs as guided by Bandura’s assessment of self-efficacy. Participation activities will include assessment of the participant’s leader self-efficacy, reflection on each concept in the guise of the participant’s personal experiences in leadership, and the development of a map for future actions towards leadership accomplishments.Conclusions/Relevance to the conference theme: Our Leadership Landscape: Perspectives from the Ground Level to 30,000 Feet: This presentation directly relates to the overall theme of the conference and to the subtheme of "Developing strategies to build resilience in academic and clinical environments." There is ncreased attention across multiple levels within the physical therapist profession regarding leadership retention, development, and attainment. This presentation will allow the participant to identify their leader self-efficacy, identify the influences to this foundation, and stimulate reflection towards a pathway of formal and informal leadership.References: Sebelski C.
