The most important leadership qualities that represent excellence in nursing practice are empathy, communication skills, conflict resolution, and delegation (Weberg, Porter-O’Grady, Mangold, & Malloch, 2018). They may be reflected in different nursing roles:
My organization’s structure has a positive impact on nursing leadership, professional development, and decision making:
- nursing leaders are given sufficient authority, which allows them to feel confident about their decisions and helps them govern their departments with a high level of professionalism;
- professional development is realized through allowing nurses to continue education;
- the process of decision-making involves every employee, and each nurse’s voice is counted when making resolutions.
