At our large, academic medical center
in the Midwest, a leadership development
program is being planned.
Nurse leaders who are interested
in expanding their knowledge
of leadership beyond their
individual work units
and wish to gain a
much broader
perspective
of theorganization’s initiatives are the target participants.
The organization has recently experienced incremental
growth in nursing administrative positions, as well as
retirement turnover that has led to a number of nurse
administrator vacancies. Creating a leadership development
program to elevate the knowledge, skills, and
abilities of current nurse mangers can contribute to succession
planning.
