,Chapter 1 Conceptual Base for Leadership and Management

1) The nurse manager asked all staff nurses to develop effective leadership competencies. How
should the staff nurses interpret this request?
1. This is an unrealistic expectation, because only managers are leaders.
2. This is possible if the nurses learn about and use relevant leadership and management theories
and styles.
3. In order to become leaders, the staff nurses will have to emphasize control, competition, and
getting the job done.
4. Unless the staff nurses possess the traits of a natural born leader, this is an unrealistic
expectation.
Answer: 2
Explanation:
1. A nurse does not need to have a formal management position with a management title to be a
leader; if nurses demonstrate leadership competencies, they are considered nurse leaders.
2. In today's healthcare environment, nurses must have knowledge of relevant leadership and
management theories and styles. This knowledge helps nurses emerge as leaders. Nurses are also
leaders of their own nursing practices.
3. Control, competition, and getting the job done are past theories and styles that are not as useful
in today's environment.
4. Leadership is a skill that can be learned.

transformational leadership.
2) Peter Drucker's view of management stimulated the shift toward the realization of the
importance of participatory organizations. Which option provides a scenario that is an example of
a participatory organization?
1. The control of the organization is centralized, and decisions are made by upper-level
management.
2. Staff nurses are expected to provide support and nurturing for management's decisions.
3. The organization's approach to leadership is autocratic and bureaucratic.
4. Staff nurses provide input into planning and changes for their own unit.
