Nursing leaders reported significant leadership behavior changes after a leadership development program (LDP). These enhanced leadership skills persisted for months, indicating LDP effectiveness in developing crucial management traits.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Leadership
- Healthcare Management
- Professional Development
Background:
- Limited research exists on leadership behavior changes post-leadership development programs (LDPs).
- Established literature connects leadership behaviors and traits to positive outcomes for nurse managers and executives.
- Effective leadership development requires a conducive learning environment and participant capacity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To document leadership behavior shifts in nursing leaders after LDP participation.
- To identify specific behavioral changes resulting from leadership training.
- To provide empirical evidence on the impact of LDPs on nursing leadership.
Main Methods:
- Utilized focus groups and online responses for data collection.
- Employed a structured interview protocol to guide participant feedback.
- Focused on self-reported behavioral changes post-LDP.
Main Results:
- Identified seven distinct themes of leadership behaviors.
- Behaviors were self-reported by participants 5 to 9 months post-LDP.
- Demonstrated sustained behavioral changes following the program.
Conclusions:
- Leadership development programs can effectively cultivate and sustain improved leadership behaviors in nursing leaders.
- The identified behavioral themes offer insights into key areas of leadership growth.
- Findings support the value of LDPs in enhancing nursing leadership capacity and effectiveness.
