In light of evidence that continues to demonstrate
the effectiveness of a transformational leadership
style in a turbulent health care arena, the ANCC
increased the expectations regarding leadership
style in the Magnet Recognition Program. The
2005 Magnet Recognition Program was based
on the 14 Forces of Magnetism that were developed from McClure
and Hinshaw's work identifying
organizational factors common in hospitals that were successful in recruiting
and retaining professional nurses.
