Transformational Nurse Identities: How to revolutionise your leadership

by Michelle Taylor

Overview

More than ever, healthcare is under-resourced and under-staffed, making nurse leadership a daunting and stressful role. You're looking at this book as you suspect there could be more you can do as a leader for your team. You know this is a critical time in healthcare. It's time nurses claimed the

professional leadership development that other professionals and organisations have enjoyed for years.

It's shocking-if not surprising-that 70.9% of nurses felt burned out and two-thirds were anxious and depressed during the pandemic. Junior nurses are the worst affected. For nurse leaders, that demands a radical rethink about leadership. They must create workplaces that are more fulfilling and rewarding

than ever. In Transformational Nurse Identities, Michelle Taylor reveals her radical leadership strategy that is being used by hundreds of nurse leaders who have discovered it is not only effective-it's fun. In this book you will learn how to:

• reduce your stress and your teams' stress
• lead a change initiative that the team will be excited about
• coach your team to develop essential critical-thinking skills
• identify dysfunctional nurse identities
• easily identify and remember the kind of leader you want to be
• transform your team
• keep nurses learning and performing
• develop your skills as an unleavable leader.

Demand for effective healthcare leadership will continue to grow, so now is the time to transform your skills as a nurse leader and make work fulfilling again.
