Presenter: Carol Huston, MSN, MPA, DPA, FAAN

All nurses need well developed leadership skills to address the complexities of 21st century healthcare, including limited resources, high performance expectations, a never-ending question for quality improvement, and often-conflicting obligations to patients, employers, and self. In addition, nurses need highly effective communication, negotiation, and collaboration skills to guide inter-professional teams and to secure the resources needed to achieve personal, professional, and organizational goals. Unfortunately, many nurses believe their leadership skills are inadequately developed for roles they already hold. This presentation examines the need for leadership development in nursing. It discusses what leadership means, how it means different things in different situations and with different people, and how important having good followers is to the leadership equation. It also suggests that leaders need emotional intelligence, authenticity, humility, and a desire to serve others to be successful in the role.

Presenter: Carol Huston, MSN, MPA, DPA, FAAN

The leadership skills required by nurses are increasingly complex and continue to evolve in response to a dynamic healthcare system, an increasingly global society, emerging technologies, and new role expectations. This presentation will explore 7 competencies nurse leaders must begin now to further develop to positively impact the healthcare system and their profession in the future.

Presenter: Adam Tebben, BSN, RN, CEN & Linda Adams-Wendling PhD, MSN, MBA, APRN, CNP, GNP-BC, NEA-BC, CNE

This part of the series will explore the stages of leadership skill development and their correlation to current nursing competency and leadership theory. From Novice to Expert, discover where you are in your leadership development journey. Learn strategies used by effective and knowledgeable leaders in their field, and how nurses can use these to advance successfully through the stages of leadership development.
