摘要:

The article describes the changes occurring in the world and organizations and argues that the contemporary theory of transformational leadership can provide guidance for nursing leaders, who are predominantly women. Transformational leadership is defined and described. The feminist literature is briefly reviewed. A comparison of the attributes of women, who are constructed knowers, and those of transformational leaders is made, including the web of inclusion, caring, moral responsibility, reciprocity and cooperation, integration of voices, intuition, and hierarchic and patriarchal paradigms. It is argued that a new way of leading and new organizational structures are emerging that will provide a favorable environment for female leaders.

摘要:

It is believed that 70% of our lives is spent in the role of follower. Even so, the focus in formal education and seminars remains leadership issues because of the unfavorable stereotypes that accompany the term follower. Nurturing effective followership requires doing away with the misconception that leaders do all the thinking and followers mindlessly heed orders. Can followers and leaders ever be deemed separate but equal? It is vital to understand that, without effective followers in nursing, our leaders face severe limitations. Current leaders and educators must share and promote the vision of enlightened followership if nursing is to achieve its potential.

摘要:

The requirements of leadership in the current environment of health care reform necessitate a clear distinction between leadership and management, an alteration in traditional leadership roles, and an evaluation of the knowledge and skills needed to address the ethical issues that arise from such reform. Transformational leadership is well suited to the current climate in health care because of the manner in which it actively embraces and encourages innovation and change. The article explores the elements of transformational leadership, describes the need for transformational leaders to be cognizant of the ethical aspects of their roles, and outlines the responsibilities of transformational leaders as moral agents.

摘要:

The study was designed to examine the differences between leadership and management and to compare the leadership content in a sample of graduate programs in nursing with those conceptual differences. A review of seven components contained within the National League for Nursing self-study reports of 10 accredited programs in four regions of the country was conducted. Data analysis revealed that leadership, as defined in the literature, was included in most curriculum components in the graduate programs studied. The emphasis in the 10 graduate programs analyzed clearly was leadership development rather than management preparation.

摘要:

A review of the published nursing leadership research from 1983 to 1993 is presented. The review identifies three categories of research: predicting leadership, leadership development, and leadership effectiveness. Comparisons are made with a previous research review. Recommendations for future research include the relationship between leader and follower, comparison studies of leaders in multiple settings, further analysis of mentorship, continued qualitative analysis, and quantitative research utilizing established instruments. As the new leadership roles of nurse leaders emerge in health care reform, so will new issues for future research.
