CONCEPTS, PRINCIPLES, THEORIES AND METHODS OF DEVELOPING NURSING LEADERS AND MANAGERS IN THE HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS

The process of leading and directing an

organization to meet its goals through the use of appropriate

resources.

The act of influencing and motivating a

group of people to act in the same direction towards achieving a

common goal.

LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT• do not have delegated authority

but obtain their power through other means, such as influence

• legitimate source of power due to the delegated authority

• focus on group process, information gathering, feedback, and empowering others

• emphasize control, decision making, decision analysis, and results

• have goals that may or may not reflect those of the organization

• greater formal responsibility and accountability for rationality and control than leaders

“father of scientific management”

Four overriding principles of scientific management:

1. Traditional “rule of thumb” means of organizing work must be replaced with scientific methods.

2. A scientific personnel system must be established so that workers can be hired, trained, and promoted based on their technical competence and abilities.

3. Workers should be able to view how they “fit” into the organization and how they contribute to overall organizational productivity.

Four overriding principles of scientific management:

4. The relationship between managers and workers should be cooperative and interdependent, and the work should be shared equally.

Theory of Social and Economic OrganizationBureaucracy

• Need for legalized, formal authority and consistent rules and regulations for personnel in different positions

• Henri Fayol (1925), first identified the management functions of planning, organization, command, coordination, and control.

• Luther Gulick (1937) expanded on Fayol’s management functions in his introduction of the “Seven Activities of Management” -planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting, and budgeting.

• Mary Parker Follett (1926) was one of the first theorists to suggest participative decision making or participative management.

• Managers should have authority with, rather than over, employees.

• Elton Mayo and his Harvard associates (1927-1932), look at the relationship between light illumination in the factory and productivity.

• Hawthorne effect indicated that people respond to the fact that they are being studied, attempting to increase whatever behavior.

• Douglas McGregor (1960),

X and Theory Y, posited that managerial attitudes about employees can be directly correlated with employee satisfaction.

Theory Y managers believe that their workers enjoy their

work, are self-motivated, and are willing to work hard to

meet personal and organizational goals.

Theory X managers believe that their employees are basically

lazy, need constant supervision and direction,

and are indifferent to organizational needs.

• Chris Argyris (1964), managerial domination causes workers to become discouraged and passive.

• If self-esteem and independence needs are not met, employees will become discouraged and troublesome or may leave the organization.

• The Great Man Theory, from Aristotelian philosophy, asserts that some people are born to lead, whereas others are born to be led.

• Great leaders will arise when the situation demands it.

• Trait Theories assume that some people have certain characteristics or personality traits that make them better leaders than others.

Democratic Leader exhibits the following behaviors:

• Less control is maintained.

• Economic and ego awards are used to motivate.

• Others are directed through suggestions and guidance.

• Communication flows up and down.

• Decision making involves others.

• Emphasis is on “we” rather than “I” and “you.”

• Criticism is constructive.

Authoritarian Leader characterized by the following behaviors:

• Strong control is maintained over the work group.

• Others are motivated by coercion.

• Others are directed with commands.

• Communication flows downward.

• Decision making does not involve others.

• Emphasis is on difference in status (“I” and “you”).

• Criticism is punitive.

Laissez-faire Leader characterized by the following behaviors:

• Is permissive, with little or no control.

• Motivates by support when requested by the group.

• Provides little or no direction.

• Uses upward and downward communication between members of the group.

• Disperses decision making throughout the group.

• Places emphasis on the group.

• Does not criticize.

• Fiedler’s (1967), Contingency Approach, suggests that no one leadership style is ideal for every situation.

• Interrelationships between the group’s leader and its members were most influenced by the manager’s ability to be a good leader.

• Hersey and Blanchard (1977), developed a Situational Approach to leadership.

• Tridimensional leadership effectiveness model predicts which leadership style is most appropriate in each situation on the basis of the level of the followers’ maturity.

• As people mature, leadership style becomes less task focused and more relationship oriented.

• Burns (2003), suggest that both leaders and followers have the ability to raise each other to higher levels of motivation and morality.

There are two primary types of leaders in management.

• The traditional manager, concerned with the day-to-day operations, was termed a transactional leader.

• The manager who is committed, has a vision, and is able to empower others with this vision was termed a transformational leader.

TRANSACTIONAL LEADER

Identifies common values

Is a caretaker

Inspires others with vision

Has long-term vision

Looks at effects

Empowers others

TRANSFORMATI0NAL LEADER

Focuses on management tasks

Is committed

Uses trade-offs to meet goals

Does not identify shared values

Examines causes

Uses contingency reward

Gardner The integrated leader-manager

• Power is defined as the capacity to act or the strength and potency to accomplish something.

• The manager who is knowledgeable about the wise use of authority, power, and political strategy is more effective at meeting personal, unit, and organizational goals.

• Reward power is obtained by the ability to grant favors or reward others with whatever they value.

• Punishment or coercive power is based on fear of punishment if manager’s expectations are not met.

• Legitimate power is the power gained by a title or official position within an organization.

• Expert power is gained through knowledge, expertise, or experience.

• Referent power is power that a person has because others identify with that leader or with what that leader symbolizes. Charismatic power is distinguished by some from referent power.

• Informational power is obtained when people have information that others must have to accomplish their goals.

MODES OF PLANNING DESCRIPTION

Reactive occurs after a problem exists

Inactivism seek the status quo

Preactivism utilize technology to acceleratechange and are future oriented

Interactive or Proactive attempt to plan the future of their organization rather than react to it

• Forecasting involves trying to estimate how a condition will be in the future.

• Takes advantage of input from others, gives sequence in activity, and protects an organization against undesirable changes.

• Strategic planning examines an organization’s purpose, mission, philosophy, and goals in the context of its external environment.

• Complex organizational plans that involve a long period (usually 3 to 10 years) are referred to as long-range or strategic plans.

• SWOT Analysis, also known as TOWS Analysis, was developed by Albert Humphrey at Stanford University in the 1960s and 1970s.

SWOT definitions:• Strengths are those internal attributes that help an

organization to achieve its objectives.• Weaknesses are those internal attributes that challenge

an organization in achieving its objectives.

SWOT definitions:• Opportunities are external conditions that promote

achievement of organizational objectives.• Threats are external conditions that challenge or

threaten the achievement of organizational objectives.

• Vision statements are used to describe future goals or aims of an organization.

• It conjures up a picture for all group members of what they want to accomplish together.

• An organization will never be greater than the vision that guides it.

• The mission statement is a brief statement identifying the reason that an organization exists.

• It identifies the organization’s constituency and addresses its position regarding ethics, principles, and standards of practice.

• The philosophy flows from the purpose or mission statement and delineates the set of values and beliefs that guide all actions of the organization.

• It is the basic foundation that directs all further planning toward that mission.

• The organizational philosophy provides the basis for developing nursing philosophies at the unit level and for nursing service as a whole.

• Goals and objectives are the ends toward which the organization is working.

• Objectives are similar to goals in that they motivate people to a specific end and are explicit, measurable, observable or retrievable, and obtainable.

• Policies are plans reduced to statements or instructions that direct organizations in their decision making.

• These explain how goals will be met and guide the general course and scope of organizational activities.

Policies also can be implied or expressed:

• Implied policies, neither written nor expressed verbally, have usually developed over time and follow a precedent. For example, a hospital may have an implied policy that employees should be encouraged and supported in their activity in community, regional, and national health-care organizations.

• Expressed policies are delineated verbally or in writing. Expressed policies may include a formal dress code, policy for sick leave or vacation time, and disciplinary procedures.

• Procedures are plans that establish customary or acceptable ways of accomplishing a specific task and delineate a sequence of steps of required action.

• Identify the process or steps needed to implement a policy and are generally found in manuals at the unit level of the organization.

• Rules and regulations are plans that define specific action or nonaction.

• Existing rules should be enforced to keep morale from breaking down and to allow organizational structure.

• Kurt Lewin (1951) identified three phases through which the change agent must proceed before a planned change becomes part of the system:

• Unfreezing occurs when the change agent convinces members of the group to change or when guilt, anxiety, or concern can be elicited.

• Movement, the change agent identifies, plans, and implements appropriate strategies, ensuring that driving forces exceed restraining forces.

• Refreezing phase, the change agent assists in stabilizing the system change so that it becomes integrated into the status quo.

Stages of change and responsibilities of the change agent:

STAGE 1—UNFREEZING1. Gather data.2. Accurately diagnose the problem.3. Decide if change is needed.4. Make others aware of the need for change; do not

proceed until the status quo has been disrupted and the need for change is perceived by the others.

Stages of change and responsibilities of the change agent:

STAGE 2—MOVEMENT

1. Develop a plan.

2. Set goals and objectives.

3. Identify areas of support and resistance.

4. Include everyone who will be affected by the change in its planning.

Stages of change and responsibilities of the change agent:

STAGE 2—MOVEMENT

5. Set target dates.

6. Develop appropriate strategies.

7. Implement the change.

8. Be available to support others and offer encouragement through the change.

Stages of change and responsibilities of the change agent:

STAGE 2—MOVEMENT

9. Use strategies for overcoming resistance to change.

10. Evaluate the change.

11. Modify the change, if necessary.

Stages of change and responsibilities of the change agent:

STAGE 3—REFREEZING

1. Support others so that the change continues.

• Edward Lorenz (1960s), discovered that even tiny changes in variables often dramatically affected outcomes.

• Even small changes in conditions can drastically alter a system’s long-term behavior (butterfly effect).

• A budget is a financial plan that includes estimated expenses as well as income for a period of time.

• Accuracy dictates the worth of a budget; the more accurate the budget blueprint, the better the institution can plan the most efficient use of its resources.

• Workforce or personnel budget largest of the budget expenditures because health care is labor intensive.

• Operating budget reflects expenses that change in response to the volume of service, such as the cost of electricity, repairs and maintenance, and supplies.

• Capital budgets plan for the purchase of buildings or major equipment, which include equipment that has a long life (usually greater than 5 to 7 years).

• Formal structure, through departmentalization and work division, provides a framework for defining managerial authority, responsibility, and accountability.

• Roles and functions are defined and systematically arranged, different people have differing roles, and rank and hierarchy are evident.

• Informal structure is generally a naturally forming social network of employees.

• It is the informal structure that fills in the gaps with connections and relationships that illustrate how employees network with one another to get work done.

• The organization chart defines formal relationships within the institution.

• Top-level managers look at the organization as a whole, coordinating internal and external influences, and generally make decisions with few guidelines or structures.

• Middle-level managers coordinate the efforts of lower levels of the hierarchy and are the conduit between lower and top-level managers.

• First-level managers are concerned with their specific unit’s work flow.

• Bureaucratic organizational designs are commonly called line structures or line organizations.

• Ad hoc design is a modification of the bureaucratic structure and is sometimes used on a temporary basis to facilitate completion of a project within a formal line organization.

• Matrix organization structure focus on both product and function. Function is described as all the tasks required to produce the product, and the product is the end result of the function.

MATRIX ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE

• Service line organization, which can be used to address the shortcomings that are endemic to traditional large bureaucratic organizations.

• Flat organizational designs are an effort to remove hierarchical layers by flattening the chain of command and decentralizing the organization.

FLAT ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGNS

Traditional Patient Care Delivery Methods

• Total patient care

• Functional nursing

• Team and modular nursing

• Primary nursing

• Case management

• Nurses assume total responsibility during their time on duty for meeting all the needs of assigned patients.

• Sometimes referred to as the case method of assignmentbecause patients may be assigned as cases.

• Functional nursing is efficiency-based; tasks are completed quickly, with little confusion regarding responsibilities.

• Allow care to be provided with a minimal number of RNs.

• Ancillary personnel collaborate in providing care to a group of patients under the direction of a professional nurse.

• As the team leader, the nurse is responsible for knowing the condition and needs of all the patients assigned to the team and for planning individual care.

• Modular nursing uses a mini-team (two or three members with at least one member being an RN), with members of the modular nursing team sometimes being called care pairs.

• Patient care units are typically divided into modules or districts and assignments are based on the geographical location of patients.

• The primary nurse assumes 24-hour responsibility for planning the care of one or more patients from admission or the start of treatment to discharge or the treatment’s end.

• During work hours, the primary nurse provides total direct care for that patient.

• When the primary nurse is not on duty, associate nurses, who follow the care plan established by the primary nurse, provide care.

• A collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual’s health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality cost-effective outcomes.

• Nurses address each patient individually, identifying the most cost-effective providers, treatments, and care settings possible.

• The leader-manager recruits, selects, places, and indoctrinates personnel to accomplish the goals of the organization.

1. Determine the number and types of personnel needed to fulfill the philosophy, meet fiscal planning responsibilities, and carry out the chosen patient care delivery system selected by the organization.

2. Recruit, interview, select, and assign personnel based on established job description performance standards.

3. Use organizational resources for induction and orientation.

4. Ascertain that each employee is adequately socialized to organization values and unit norms.

5. Use creative and flexible scheduling based on patient care needs to increase productivity and retention.

• Is the process of actively seeking out or attracting applicants for existing positions and should be an ongoing process.

• A leadership role in staffing includes identifying, recruiting, and hiring gifted people.

• Is the process of choosing from among applicants the best-qualified individual or individuals for a particular job or position.

• Involves verifying the applicant’s qualifications, checking his or her work history, and deciding if a good match exists between the applicant’s qualifications and the organization’s expectations.

• The nurse leader is able to assign a new employee to a position within his or her sphere of authority, where the employee will have a reasonable chance for success.

• Proper placement fosters personal growth, provides a motivating climate for the employee, maximizes productivity, and increases the probability that organizational goals will be met.

• Planned, guided adjustment of an employee to the organization and the work environment.

• Induction, the first phase of indoctrination includes all activities that educate the new employee about the organization and employment and personnel policies and procedures.

• Orientation activities are more specific for the position.

• The purpose of the orientation process is to make the employee feel like a part of the team.

• This will reduce burnout and help new employees become independent more quickly in their new roles.

• The better trained and more competent the staff, the fewer the number of staff required, which in turn saves the organization money and increases productivity.

• Staff development activities are normally carried out for one of three reasons: to establish competence, to meet new learning needs, and to satisfy interests the staff may have in learning in specific areas.

• Socialization refers to a learning of the behaviors that accompany each role by instruction, observation, and trial and error.

• Resocialization occurs when individuals are forced to learn new values, skills, attitudes, and social rules as a result of changes in the type of work they do, the scope of responsibility they hold, or in the work setting itself.

• Centralized staffing, where staffing decisions are made by personnel in a central office or staffing center.

• Decentralized staffing, the unit manager is often responsible for covering all scheduled staff absences, reducing staff during periods of decreased patient census or acuity, preparing monthly unit schedules, and preparing holiday and vacation schedules.

• Motivation is the force within the individual that influences or directs behavior.

• Leaders should apply techniques, skills, and knowledge of motivational theory to help workers achieve what they want out of work.

INTRINSIC EXTRINSIC

Comes from within the individual

Comes from outside the individual

Often influenced by family unit and cultural values

Rewards and reinforcements are given to encourage certain behaviors and/or levels of achievement

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Theory of Human Motivation

• Maslow (1970), people are motivated to satisfy certain needs, from basic survival to complex psychological needs, and people seek a higher need only when the lower needs have been met.

Operant Conditioning and Behavior Modification

• Skinner (1953) demonstrated that people could be conditioned to behave in a certain way based on a consistent reward or punishment system.

Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory

• Frederick Herzberg (1977) believed that employees can be motivated by the work itself and that there is an internal or personal need to meet organizational goals.

Vroom’s Expectancy Model

• Victor Vroom (1964), looks at motivation in terms of the person’s valence, or preferences based on social values.

• A person’s expectations about his or her environment or a certain event will influence behavior.

McClellands’s Three Basic Needs

• David McClelland (1971) examined what motives guide a person to action.

McClellands’s Three Basic Needs

• Achievement-oriented people actively focus on improving what is; they transform ideas into action, judiciously and wisely, taking risks when necessary.

McClellands’s Three Basic Needs

• Affiliation-oriented people focus their energies on families and friends; their overt productivity is less because they view their contribution to society in a different light from those who are achievement oriented.

McClellands’s Three Basic Needs

• Power-oriented people are motivated by the power that can be gained as a result of a specific action. They want to command attention, get recognition, and control others.

McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y

• Douglas McGregor (1960) examined the importance of a manager’s assumptions about workers on the intrinsic motivation of the workers.

• Communication is “the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, by speech, signals, writing, or behavior.”

• Occur on at least two levels: verbal and nonverbal.

Internal climateIncludes internal factors such as the values, feelings, temperament, and stress levels of the sender and the receiver

External climate

Includes external factors such as the weather, temperature, timing, status, power, authority, and theorganizational climate itself

• Upward communication, the manager is a subordinate to higher management.

• Downward communication, the manager relays information to subordinates.

• Horizontal communication, managers interact with others on the same hierarchical level as themselves who are managing different segments of the organization.

• Diagonal communication, the manager interacts with personnel and managers of other departments and groups who are not on the same level of the organizational hierarchy.

• Grapevine communication flows quickly and haphazardly among people at all hierarchical levels and usually involves three or four people at a time.

• Assertive communication allows people to express themselves in direct, honest, and appropriate ways that do not infringe on another person’s rights.

• Passive communication occurs when a person suffers in silence although he or she may feel strongly about the issue.

• Aggressive communication is generally direct, threatening, and condescending.

• Passive–aggressive communication is an aggressive message presented in a passive way. This person feigns withdrawal in an effort to manipulate the situation.

S SITUATIONIntroduce yourself and the patient and briefly state the issue that you want to discuss

B BACKGROUNDDescribe the background or context (patient’s diagnosis, admission date, medical diagnosis, and treatment to date)

A ASSESSMENTSummarize the patient’s condition and state what you think the problem is

R RECOMMENDATIONIdentify any new treatments or changes ordered and provide opinions or recommendations for further action

• The leader who actively listens gives genuine time and attention to the sender, focusing on verbal and nonverbal communication.

• The leader must continually work to improve listening skills by giving time and attention to the message sender.

1. Nurses must not transmit or place online individually identifiable patient information.

2. Nurses must observe ethically prescribed professional patient–nurse boundaries.

3. Nurses should understand that patients, colleagues, institutions, and employers may view postings.

American Nurses Association. (2011, September). Principles for social networking and the nurse.

4. Nurses should take advantage of privacy settings and seek to separate personal and professional information online.

5. Nurses should bring content that could harm a patient’s privacy, rights, or welfare to the attention of appropriate authorities.

6. Nurses should participate in developing institutional policies governing online conduct.

• Delegation is getting work done through others or as directing the performance of one or more people to accomplish organizational goals.

• The mark of a great leader is when he or she can recognize the excellent performance of someone else and allow others to shine for their accomplishments.

• Right task

• Right circumstances

• Right person

• Right direction/communication

• Right level of supervision

North Carolina Board of Registered Nursing (2013)

• Conflict is generally defined as the internal or external discord that results from differences in ideas, values, or feelings between two or more people.

• Conflict is neither good nor bad, and it can produce growth or destruction, depending on how it is managed.

• Intergroup conflict occurs between two or more groups of people, departments, and organizations.

• Intrapersonal conflict occurs within the person. It involves an internal struggle to clarify contradictory values or wants.

• Interpersonal conflict happens between two or more people with differing values, goals, and beliefs and may be closely linked with bullying, incivility, and mobbing.

• Bullying is repeated, offensive, abusive, intimidating, or insulting behaviors; abuse of power; or unfair sanctions that make recipients feel humiliated, vulnerable, or threatened, thus creating stress and undermining their self-confidence (Townsend, 2012).

• Incivility is behavior that lacks authentic respect for others that requires time, presence, willingness to engage in genuine discourse and intention to seek common ground (Clark, 2010).

• Mobbing occurs when employees “gang up” on an individual.

• When bullying, incivility, and mobbing occur in the workplace, this is known as workplace violence.

Compromising each party gives up something it wants

Competing one party pursues what it wants at the expense of the others

Cooperating one party sacrifices his or her beliefs and allows the other party to win

Smoothing one party in a conflict attempts to pacify the other party or to focus on agreements rather than differences

Avoiding parties involved are aware of a conflict but choose not to acknowledge it or attempt to resolve it

Collaborating all parties set aside their original goals and work together to establish a supraordinate or priority common goal

• Each party gives up something, and the emphasis is on accommodating differences between the parties.

• The very least for which a person will settle is often referred to as the bottom line.

• Negotiation is psychological and verbal. The effective negotiator always appears calm and self-assured.

• Collective bargaining involves activities occurring between organized labor and management that concern employee relations.

• Management that is perceived to be deaf to the workers’ needs provides a fertile ground for union organizers, because unions thrive in a climate that perceives the organizational philosophy to be insensitive to the worker.

• Time management is making optimal use of available time.

• Good time management skills allow an individual to spend time on things that matter.

• Quality control refers to activities that are used to evaluate, monitor, or regulate services rendered to consumers.

• Health-care quality is the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge.

Hallmarks of effective quality control programs:

1. Support from top-level administration.

2. Commitment by the organization in terms of fiscal and human resources.

3. Quality goals reflect search for excellence rather than minimums.

4. Process is ongoing (continuous).

• Audit is a systematic and official examination of a record, process, structure, environment, or account to evaluate performance.

• Auditing in health-care organizations provides managers with a means of applying the control process to determine the quality of services rendered.

• Retrospective audits are performed after the patient receives the service.

• Concurrent audits are performed while the patient is receiving the service.

• Prospective audits attempt to identify how future performance will be affected by current interventions.

• Outcome audits reflect the end result of care or how the patient’s health status changed as a result of an intervention.

• Process audits are used to measure the process of care or how the care was carried out and assume that a relationship exists between the process used by the nurse and the quality of care provided.

• Structure audit includes resource inputs such as the environment in which health care is delivered.

• Total Quality Management, also referred to as continuous quality improvement (CQI), is a philosophy developed by Dr. W. Edward Deming.

• The individual is the focal element on which production and service depend (i.e., it must be a customer-responsive environment) and that the quest for quality is an ongoing process.

• Toyota Production System is a production system built on the complete elimination of waste and focused on the pursuit of the most efficient production method possible.

• Health-care organizations that use TPS would have caregivers not only attempt to directly solve problems at the time they occur, but it would also have them determine the root cause of the problem, so that the likelihood of the problem recurring would be minimized.

• Performance appraisals let employees know the level of their job performance as well as any expectations that the organization may have of them.

• If employees believe that the appraisal is based on their job description rather than on whether the manager approves of them, they are more likely to view the appraisal as relevant.

Trait rating scales Rates an individual against some standard.

Job dimension scales Rates the performance on job requirements.

Behaviorally anchored rating scales

Rates desired job expectations on a scale of importance to theposition.

Checklists Rates the performance against a set list of desirable job behaviors.

Essays A narrative appraisal of job performance.

Self-appraisals An appraisal of performance by the employee.

Management by objectives Employee and management agree upon goals of performance to bereached.

Peer review Assessment of work performance carried out by peers.

• Be specific, not general, in describing behavior that needs improvement.

• Be descriptive, not evaluative, when describing what was wrong with the work performance.

• Be certain that the feedback is not self-serving but meets the needs of the employee.

• Direct the feedback toward behavior that can be changed.

• Use sensitivity in timing the feedback.

• Make sure that the employee has clearly understood the feedback and that the employee’s communication has also been clearly heard.
