My journey through Project LEAD.

The author described valuable skills learned as a Project LEAD Fellow that enhanced her leadership and professional development and helped her become a more effective leader at her home institution. Leadership concepts and principles learned from Project LEAD workshops were implemented by the author as she collaborated with faculty to redesign the nursing curriculum to address multiple initiatives in the university and School of Nursing. The author shares insights on the use of leadership principles derived from the Project LEAD model developed by Bessent and Fleming (2003) and other noted Project LEAD consultants and discusses how these leadership principles provided guidance in the design and implementation of strategies to enhance students'outcomes in a newly created time-intensive scheduling format.
