1Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
This study explores intention in nursing leadership using a human becoming leading-following model. It clarifies intention
Area of Science:
- Nursing Science
- Leadership Studies
- Philosophy of Science
Background:
- Intention is a critical element in understanding human action and decision-making.
- Nursing leadership roles necessitate a clear grasp of intention to guide practice effectively.
- Existing models may not fully capture the nuanced role of intention in leading and following dynamics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the concept of intention within the context of nursing leadership.
- To examine the influence of intention on leading-following dynamics in nursing.
- To highlight the utility of the human becoming leading-following model in analyzing nursing leadership.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of intention.
- Review of the human becoming leading-following model.
- Application of the model to nursing leadership scenarios.
Main Results:
- Intention is defined as a purposeful direction of consciousness.
- The human becoming leading-following model provides a framework for understanding how intention shapes leader-follower interactions.
- Specific impacts of intention on nursing leadership choices and outcomes are identified.
Conclusions:
- Understanding intention is crucial for effective nursing leadership.
- The human becoming leading-following model offers valuable insights into the role of intention in nursing practice.
- Further research can explore practical applications of this model in leadership development.
