The principle of complexity theory is the
behavior over time of certain complex and dynamically changing systems with a concern for the predictability of the behavior of systems and how under certain conditions the system performs in regular and predictable ways, and in other conditions of change it becomes irregular and unpredictable.
Chaos Theory not unlike Darwin's evolutionary theory of natural selection.
behavior that is unpredictable in spite of certain regularities. chaos phenomenon differs from the predictable swinging of a pendulum of a clock. Instead, it is more like the unpredictable random patterns of weather.
Adapting:
behavioral competency.
Ohio State model included
both attitudes and behaviors. The early models focused on the leaders whereas the Tri-Dimensional Effectiveness Model measured the followers' ability to determine effective leadership.

diagnosing: which is a cognitive activity that involves being able to understand the situation and the problem to be solved or resolved; adapting: which is a behavioral skill that involves being able to adapt behaviors and other resources to match the situation; and communicating: which is a process to advance the process in a way that individuals can understand and accept
The elements of quantum leadership are
discovering, authenticity, passion, creating, relationship, inquiry, and fiscal astuteness. helps nurses focus on the future, stretch and break boundaries, and encourage breakthrough thinking to solve problems in a complex and fluid care environment.
