Characteristics of Leaders
◯ Transformational leaders empower followers to assume responsibility for a communal vision,
and personal development is a secondary outcome.

rewards to motivate followers.
Emotional Intelligence
● Emotional intelligence is the ability of an individual to perceive and manage the emotions of
self and others. ● The nurse must be able to perceive and understand his own emotions and the
emotions of the client and family in order to provide client-centered care
● Emotional intelligence is developed through understanding the concept and applying it to
practice in everyday situations
● Understands the perspective of others. ● Encourages constructive criticism and is open to new
ideas. ● Is able to maintain focus while multitasking. ● Manages emotions and channels them in a

, Management
The five major management functions are planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling.
PLANNING: The decisions regarding what needs to be done, how it will be done, and who is
going to do it
ORGANIZING: The organizational structure that determines the lines of authority, channels of
communication, and where decisions are made
STAFFING: The acquisition and management of adequate staff and staffing mix
DIRECTING: The leadership role assumed by a manager that influences and motivates staff to
perform assigned roles
CONTROLLING: The evaluation of staff performance and evaluation of unit goals to ensure
identified outcomes are being met
Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is used when analyzing client issues and problems.
Thinking skills include interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference and explanation. These
skills assist the nurse to determine the most appropriate action to take.
● Critical thinking reflects upon the meaning of statements, examines available data, and uses
reason to make informed decisions. ● Critical thinking is necessary to reflect and evaluate from a
broader scope of view. ● Sometimes one must think “outside the box” to find solutions that are best for
clients, staff, and the organization.
Clinical Reasoning
Clinical reasoning is the mental process used when analyzing the elements of a clinical situation
and using analysis to make a decision.
● Clinical reasoning supports the clinical decision-making process by: ◯ Guiding the nurse
through the process of assessing and compiling data. ◯ Selecting and discarding data based on
relevance. ◯ Using nursing knowledge to make decisions about client care. Problem solving is a part of
decision-making
