nurse leaders

-Guide and motivate nurses -Design, develop, implement, and sustain the organizational environment -Act as a stabilizing influence among constant change

Management Overview

-Managers manage people and organizations Definition of Management -Process of coordination and integration of resources Nurse managers balance two competing needs: the needs of the staff related to growth, efficiency, motivation, morale, and accomplishment with the outcome of staff satisfaction and the needs of the employer for productivity, quality, and cost effectiveness with the outcome of productivity.

Professional Practice Environment

Continuous learning Professional nursing development Shared perception of learning to enhance practice, quality, and outcomes When knowledge is freely shared it is contagious Unit journal clubs, unit presentations by staff, poster displays of success, EBP teams

Parallel Form

Coordinating across functional departments Mechanism: teams, specialists, task forces, liaison roles, standing committees Benefits: fosters collaboration and cross-fertilization of knowledge across divisions, consistency in clinical and management practices (rapid response teams)

Change Management

Executives do not direct change; they initiate and influence the direction. Recipients of change translate and edit plans for change. The main method used by recipients to interpret change is informal communication. Senior management must monitor and engage the "informal" channels. Attention must be given to open discussions and storytelling in communication about change. Recipients of change will mediate outcomes; managers need to engage in activity with them. Using change ambassadors to help the engagement may be helpful (especially in large organizations). Senior managers need to "live the changes" they want to adopt.

organizational charts
