Exploring leadership roles, goals, and barriers among Kansas registered nurses: A descriptive cross-sectional study

Development and psychometric testing of the clinical leadership needs analysis (CLeeNA) instrument for nurses and midwives

“…Leadership training should be offered to all registered nurses and midwives as this contributes to the future nursing and midwifery leadership pipeline (Titzer, Shirey, & Hauck, ), promotes professional and personal growth (Paterson, Henderson, & Burmeister, ) and prepares leaders to resolve conflict, communicate effectively and respond to complaints (Duffy & Carlin, ).

Out of the 971 surveyed, 10 nurses reported that they did not perceive any barriers to their leadership development (Peltzer et al 2015). Keys (2014) conducted a qualitative study of Generation X nurse managers to examine their perspective on professional success and personal and professional fulfillment.…”

Strong leadership: the case for global connections

“…Membership of a society that offers development opportunities to support strong leadership on an international basis has the potential to build a culture of leadership within the profession (Hurley & Hutchinson , Peltzer et al . , Wong ). It was seen as important to build this culture and recognise the ‘value‐added’ that such a society could offer.…”
