Limitless Transformational Leadership

Transformational leadership in nursing is a management style that motivates nurses to take ownership of their roles and perform beyond minimum expectations. This style motivates team members by appealing to their desire to demonstrate higher moral values and integrity in practice. Transformational leadership in nursing encourages teams to work toward the greater good of an organization and its people instead of considering self-serving interests.

Transformational Nurse Leaders can significantly impact professional relationships and promote positive patient and organizational outcomes. These nurse leaders possess four key elements that separate them as transformational from others in nursing leadership roles.

Four Key Elements of Transformational Leadership include.

1.    Inspirational Motivation: Effective transformational nurse leaders believe in themselves and others to do their best, articulate a clear vision and communicate with a sense of commitment and passion.

2.    Individual Consideration: Transformational nurse leaders take the time to know each team member, learn their strengths, weaknesses, and motivations and dedicate themselves as mentors and leaders to those in their charge.

3.    Intellectual Stimulation: Transformational nurse leaders value the idea of team members who think outside the box and search for better ways of accomplishing things. They encourage creativity, welcoming new ideas and input.

4.    Idealized Influence: Transformational leadership in nursing includes the act of idealized influence, setting a good example for others to follow and doing so in a manner that makes them want to be better.
