How can leadership contribute to a supportive culture?
Leadership plays a pivotal role in fostering a supportive culture. Nurse leaders should practice open communication, encourage feedback, and recognize the hard work of their teams. By promoting transparency and trust, leaders can create an environment where nurses feel safe to express their concerns and ideas. Regular team meetings, one-on-one check-ins, and an open-door policy can significantly enhance the sense of support and community within the unit.
