    What is Leadership?

    • Leadership is the process of pursuing and influencing the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of others toward a specific goal.
    • Leaders guide others through adversity, uncertainty, hardships, disruptions, transformations, and significant challenges, while aiming to challenge the status quo.
    • A nursing leader is any nurse who has the courage to achieve goals related to delivering quality healthcare. Passion, rather than position, drives this courage.
    • Leadership is a dimension of practice, encompassing all areas of nursing, not just formal leadership roles.

    Nursing Leadership & Management

    • A nursing leader can be any nurse who demonstrates the courage to fulfill a vision focused on achieving quality healthcare goals.
    • This courage stems from passion, not just from a position of authority.
    • Nurses are leaders in client care, regardless of their formal position.

    Nursing Leadership Theories

    • Three main categories exist:
      • Behavioral, where leaders are developed and learn their approach.
      • Situational, where leadership adapts to the specific situation.
      • Contemporary, focusing on building relationships.

    Various Nursing Leadership Styles and Theories in Practice

    • Participative Leadership Style: All members contribute to decision-making.
    • Servant Leadership Style: Leaders prioritize the needs of others to help them reach their full potential.
    • Authentic Leadership: This highlights strengths, fosters a positive work environment, and promotes caring attitudes.

    Authentic Leadership and New Graduate Nurses

    • NGNs often leave for various reasons, including lack of support, stress, and incivility.

    • This includes increased awareness of professional responsibility and demands of the university program.

    RPN to RN Role Transition

    • A qualitative study in Ontario examined RPN transitions to RN.
    • RPNs often feel unprepared for the demands of a university program and for increased professional responsibility.

    • Managers with strong emotional intelligence help nurses feel that their work is meaningful, allowing them to influence and improve their work environment.
