Summary
A pilot leadership development program improved authentic leadership behaviors in nurse managers (NMs). Both self-assessments and direct reports indicated positive changes, suggesting program effectiveness in enhancing leadership skills.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Leadership Studies
- Nursing Administration
Background:
- Nurse managers frequently lack formal leadership training.
- Leadership development programs can improve leadership competency.
- A pilot program was developed to assess its effectiveness in enhancing authentic leadership.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of a pilot leadership development program.
- To assess changes in nurse managers' authentic leadership behaviors.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study design.
- Convenience sample of 16 nurse managers.
- Participation in a pilot leadership development program.
Main Results:
- Increased authentic leadership behaviors observed in self-assessments (3 of 4 subscales).
- Direct reports noted improvements in all 4 authentic leadership subscales.
- Statistical significance was found in one self-awareness behavior.
Conclusions:
- The pilot program shows promise for enhancing nurse managers' authentic leadership.
- Nurse managers reported increased self-awareness.
- Direct reports perceived positive shifts in leadership behaviors.
