Aim:
To examine the concept of Leadership Presence.
Background:
Presence is an essential factor in a leader's repertoire. However, the concept is not well-defined, or the significance understood on how leadership presence affects individual and organizational outcomes.
Design:
Walker and Avant's modified method of concept analysis DATA SOURCE: Literature from multiple scholarly databases were searched. The search terms "leadership," "presence," "physical presence," and "leadership presence" were imputed using established inclusion criteria: full text, peer-reviewed, and printed in the English language from 2016 to 2021.
Review Methods:
Articles examined to determine the context of leadership presence and to understand and identify the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of leadership presence.
Results:
Eighteen articles met inclusion criteria and were examined. Antecedents consisted of elements that represented the internal complexity of the organization and the presence of external threats. Attributes included a leader's emotional intelligence, a vision for improvement, and a commitment to successful caring and patient outcomes. Consequences evolved from organizational and individual elements of leadership presence.
Conclusion:
By understanding the concept of leadership presence, nurse leaders can appreciate the meaning, implications, and contributions of this concept and employ leadership factors that influence nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes.
