Transformational Leadership Skills of Successful Nurse Managers

Leadership Practices in Hospital Nursing: A Self of Manager Nurses

“…The second part consisted of the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), validated for use in Brazil, acquired electronically, containing 30 items in the Likert scale format (or referred to by the authors as declaratory behavioral statements) that assesses the leadership practices and distribute them in five domains: model the way; inspire a shared vision; challenge the process; enable others to act; encourage the heart. This instrument is considered an excellent tool for manager nurses that want to develop or improve their skills as transformational leaders (9) . Data collection occurred between June and September 2014 through the self-application of the instrument according to the availability of the participants.…”

“…A model of five practices for exemplary leadership under the influence of transformational leadership (6) was proposed to corroborate these steps: model the way; inspire a shared vision; challenge the process; enable others to act; and encourage the heart.

[12][13][14] Evidence demonstrates that independent of knowledge and skill, there are organizational and work design factors that promote or impede transformational behaviors among leaders. 3,4,11 As the healthcare environment is redesigned to meet the challenges of access, quality, and value, FLNMs are pivotal in helping to change the environments of acute care hospitals.…”

Profile of an Excellent Nurse Manager

“…8(p371) Identifying and developing future nurse leaders with the necessary skills and competencies are critical for organizational success. 9 At least one author has found that transformational leadership behaviors can be learned by those seeking to strengthen these abilities, 10 and another makes the case that a strong evidence base for nurse executive practice is vital to educate and mentor the next generation of nurse leaders with increasingly limited resources. 11 Leadership style descriptions such as approachability, availability, role modeling, and inspirational behaviors have been identified more often than traditional managerial behaviors.…”
