Nursing leadership is an important aspect of providing quality care. It involves utilizing the skills and abilities of nurses to influence decision-making, set organizational goals, and provide direction for staff. Nursing leaders are expected to be knowledgeable in clinical practices, have strong interpersonal skills, and be able to motivate other nurses toward achieving desired outcomes. Leaders must also possess excellent communication skills that enable them to effectively collaborate with colleagues, share information with patients and families, advocate for change within their organization, and engage in constructive dialogue among stakeholders.
