Synopsis

Designed to help future nurses develop the soft skills necessary for success within the profession, Nursing Leadership: Developing from the Inside Out provides readers with myriad self-reflection opportunities and activities to help them cultivate a positive mindset and greater levels of personal well-being, emotional intelligence, and self-care.

Each chapter begins by describing a specific leadership theory, its strengths and weaknesses, and a discussion of contexts and instances in which using the leadership framework might be advantageous. This material is complemented with complex case studies within healthcare clinical contexts, which address tough issues that require leadership and nuanced knowhow, including incivility, workplace violence, substance use, poor communication, and violations of policies. Readers are challenged to leverage a variety of leadership frameworks for ethical decision making, building trust, and effective communication to navigate difficult situations they may face within their future careers. Group activities throughout the text encourage lively discussion, collaboration, and recognition of others' perspectives, voices, and contributions.

Designed to help students transform into the kind of health care leaders they hope to be, Nursing Leadership helps future nurses develop the skills they need to navigate the profession and provide exceptional leadership and care.
