Publisher Description

Never before in the history of the nursing culture has the subject of leadership been of greater importance and interest to the nursing culture and healthcare organizations. The critical responsibility of generating and perpetuating the mindset shift essential to creating continuously renewing, change-friendly healthcare organizations lies almost solely with those in leadership roles. The kind of nursing leadership required today is very different from the hierarchical management model of years past. In yesterday's management model it seemed necessary to control virtually every aspect of the organizational environment from what was done to who did it to how it was done. The nurse leader was supposed to be the one with all the answers, who made most of the decisions, and was the one who held all of the power. That was then and this is now and our reality is rich in potential for new possibilities of developing nurse leaders who believe that when you engage people at all levels in creating the vision of the organization you create a better future for all. Although many organizations are still firmly married to the old way of doing things, new practices and concepts are emerging that are qualitatively and radically different from the old practices. Many of these are still in the conceptual stage; others are beginning to pour into organization life, often fueled by the entrepreneurial spirit brought by a new generation of nurses known as Generation Y. Organizations that delay their evolution from traditional top-down style of management to a more empowering style are creating obstacles that keep them from effectively managing change. In fact, the traditional management approach itself actually creates resistance to change among employees. I am not alone in wondering why so many healthcare organizations haven't been able to attract, hire, develop, and support more visible and effective nurse leaders who know how to unleash the passionate energy of their followers. This question haunted me for years so much so that I set about on a journey in search of the holy grail of successful nursing leadership.
