Summary

  • What is leadership?
  • How do you develop your leadership abilities?
  • How is leadership different from management?
  • How does leadership contribute to professional and personal success…improve patient care…and affect the future of nursing?

    An easy-to-read, interactive approach helps you to identify the characteristics of leaders and followers and illustrates not only how, but also when to use the qualities associated with each to achieve professional and personal success.

    Excellent book for nurse leadership. This should be mandatory reading for all nurses.”—John P., Online Reviewer

    The future of leadership for nursing. Breathtaking! What Nursing Leadership should aspire to be. Helpful for anyone venturing into a leadership role. Insightful concepts and practical suggestions for transformational leadership.”—Online Reviewer

    Excellent leadership text for nurses After so much of the same content in nursing school that dryly proclaims the importance of leadership and contributing to the profession, I frequently found my eyes widening while reading this book. Somehow, the authors consistently, boldly, and beautifully call for and describe the transformative leadership that is so needed in nursing today. … I just kept thinking, ‘Wow, I've never seen it said like that (in nursing). That's awesome!’ This book is relevant, well-written, and full of paradigm-shifting inspirational material.”—Tristen W., Online Reviewer
