Preparing Nurse Managers for Authentic Leadership: A Pilot Leadership Development Program.
Journal of Nursing Administration 2019 Februrary
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the impact of a pilot leadership development program on nurse managers' (NMs') use of authentic leadership behaviors.
BACKGROUND: Nurse managers often receive little or no formal training. Literature suggests formal leadership development programs can enhance their leadership competency. A leadership development program was designed and pilot tested to determine effectiveness in enhancing authentic leadership competency.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study used a convenience sample of 16 NMs who participated in the pilot program.
RESULTS: Measurable increases in authentic leadership behaviors were demonstrated in both the self-assessments (mean scores increased in 3 of 4 subscales) and RN direct report assessments (mean scores increased in all 4 subscales), with statistical significance achieved in 1 self-awareness behavior.
CONCLUSIONS: The pilot program demonstrated merit as a tool to enhance NMs' authentic leadership behaviors. Managers perceived greater self-awareness, and direct reports perceived positive change in managers' use of authentic leadership behaviors.
