WORKBOOK for Visionary Leadership in Healthcare (Learner Activities Workbook): Excellence in Practice, Policy, and Ethics - Paperback

by Holly Wei (Author), Sara Horton-Deutsch (Author)

This Learner Activities Workbook is designed to work with the textbook and follows a similar format. It includes reflective questions, narratives and discussion questions, activities, quizzes, and additional resources for the chapters. Learners can use the reflective questions and narratives to guide their reading, thinking, group discussions, or activities. Like the textbook, this Learner Activities Workbook comprises five parts, which support nurse leaders' development in clinical practice or academic settings.

Below is a brief introduction of the five parts.

PART I

The workbook presents leadership theories in organizations. There are four topics in this part, which are closely connected.

PART II

Leadership's roles in creating healthy work environments are addressed. The four topics in this part support readers in establishing and promoting organizational culture and environments.

PART III

Four visionary leadership theories are applied in practice.

PART IV

The role of nurse leadership in collaboration, leading change, and innovation is presented.

PART V

The last part envisions the future of nurse leadership, defining wisdom leaders to inform personal and professional leadership development.

With an emphasis on collaboration and partnerships, the textbook moves away from hierarchical forms of leadership to teach more engaged, open, equitable, inclusive, authentic and caring leadership styles.
