Several leadership styles can be effective in nursing, including:
- Transformational Leadership: Inspires and motivates staff to achieve their full potential and embrace change. - Transactional Leadership: Focuses on structured tasks, rewards, and penalties to manage performance. - Servant Leadership: Prioritizes the needs of the team and patients, emphasizing empathy and ethical behavior. - Democratic Leadership: Encourages participation and input from all team members in decision-making processes.
