Homework: Transformational Leadership Analysis
Northouse (2016) explains that transformational leadership "is concerned with emotions, values, ethics, standards, and long-term goals." It is a leadership skill that has the unique ability to motivate people to "accomplish more than what is expected of them." How might transformational leadership be applicable in your leadership role?
For this Homework, you examine transformational leadership within your own workplace environment. As a member of the nursing leadership team, you can help create a healthy workplace culture that promotes excellence in nursing.
