Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 7 page paper analyzing the source of one medical center’s vice president’s effective leadership. Effective leaders must possess an optimum blend of “people skills” and technical knowledge. This is particularly true in nursing, perhaps more so than in any other field. Ability alone cannot serve to make a manager’s leadership truly effective. The organizational structure also must be designed in such a way that it provides the leader with the freedom necessary to exercise creativity and effective leadership. This paper discusses an effective leader at Hamot Medical Center in terms of the types of leadership theory she uses and the support that the medical center’s organizational structure provides. Includes an abstract. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
