ABSTRACT
My first recommendation is that you be careful what you say about your boss. Sometimes, what you've discussed with others will eventually be repeated to your boss and you may find yourself in your CNO's office to discuss what was said.Next, let's review some of the competencies that a CNO needs. According to Dr. Richard Hader, the top CNO competencies are integrity, honesty, results oriented, decisiveness, inspirational, able to lead change, fairness, team oriented, excellent communication skills, a strong financial acumen, and leading by example.1 You'll need to honestly evaluate what you consider to be the strengths and weaknesses of your CNO and yourself. After you've done so, try to look at it from a different perspective. By identifying the CNO's and your own strengths and weaknesses, you may find that the CNO chose you for the team because your strengths complement her weaknesses, and vice versa. You'll find that each team member's talents result in organizational success.Remember,
