Practical Approaches to Leadership TheoryI have reviewed many excellent texts on nursing leadership and management, but I have never found one that so clearly outlined the theory and then provided cutting edge practical tools for distinctive problems. I had utilized a more simplistic text for community college registered nurse students, but when I presented one of the practical tools described in this book to my students, they said now this is really worthwhile learning. They liked the decision making tool that I described to them. The book should be a must for the bachelor's prepared nurse. I personally feel managers can utilize this book to increase their leadership skills. I personally am buying my own copy for my current management job. |
