These insights provide principles for planning that the nursing administrator can use for change at individual, institutional, and societal levels.

A standardized process for objective decision making becomes essential. This article describes that process.

摘要:

Building partnerships is a valuable strategy for achieving success in forming a strong foundation for nursing in the 21st century. The demands of the changing health care environment require that managers and staff change the context in which patient care delivery is accomplished. Managers must be willing to unleash the power of the human capital of staff nurses. Staff nurses must be willing to take a seat at the table and share the leadership role with their manager. Both must engage in building an environment that facilitates continued learning, establishes effective relationships with other health care team members and patients, creates an environment that attracts and retains professional nursing staff, expects professional development from one another, and realizes that collective accountability can be achieved through sharing the leadership.

Nurse executives are charged with creating a workforce that provides quality care in a creative and cost-effective manner. Style of leadership determines how nurse executives relate to their professional nurses and ultimately how successful their health care institutions will be. The practice-based theory of nursing leadership called the Integrated Leadership Practice Model can be practiced by nurse executives to promote employee satisfaction, assure that quality care is provided based on standards and competencies, and promote an organizational culture committed to quality. This article proposes the application of integrated leadership to the practice of nurse executives and demonstrates how they can foster and support this model for nursing leadership within their nurse managers.

摘要:

The investigators report validation of a survey tool called the Interview Guide to assist in the selection of nurses who will be effective as managers. Nurse administrators rated nurse managers at six months and two years after hire. The Interview Guide rated the management qualities “seeing the big picture” and potential for “rehire” as the best predictors of managerial success. After two years, a good “self-concept” or a “flexible attitude” was the best predictor. The ability to manage conflict was the most significant competency for predicting rehire at both six months and two years.
