From mechanical to integrated organizations: the leader's challenge

The leader in a nursing organization, whether it is the nurse manager or the nurse executive, is only as good as the positive synergistic relations that are developed with all parts of the organization. The converse is also true that the leader of any part of the organization is only as good as the synergistic relations she/he develops with the nurses and direct caregivers. Synchronicity is the mark of an effective organization and the hallmark of integrated organizations.
