Abstract:
Planning for development of skills needed to accomplish the desired change requires reviewing the information obtained as the leader worked to develop shared meaning and to activate the change process. Assessment of the environment and the concerns of individuals asked to participate in the change provides a wealth of information about skills individuals possess and skills they will need to develop in order to carry out the proposed change. The frameworks described here may serve as useful guideposts for nurse leaders. This article provides only highlights of each approach. In order to apply these frameworks effectively, the prospective leader is urged to consult the original sources for full descriptions of each approach.
