Basing their textbook presentation on the premise that leadership is something different from organizational management, Grossman (nursing, Fairfield U.) and Valiga (research and professional development, National League for Nursing) discuss different definitions of leadership, examples of leadership in a number of fields in addition to nursing, and the types of leadership that nursing needs in the present and future.

Just What We Need!,
This review is from: The New Leadership Challenge: Creating the Future of Nursing (Paperback)
As an author myself, I search for references that cover new concepts in a concise, comprehensive, and inviting way. Grossman and Valiga give us just what's needed to motivate nurses to think about the importance of acquiring leadership skills at all levels of nursing. Beautifully designed, well written, and just the right size (Seinfeld would definitely call it "bag-worthy"), this book uses a concise format to cover everything from stewardship to chaos theory in context of a changing health care setting.I recommend this book for any student or nurse. If you happen to teach nurses, you'll love the critical thinking exercises that guide and challenge new nurses to ponder their own growth as a leader.

Important read for all nurses,
By
This review is from: The New leadership Challenge: Creating the Future of Nursing (Paperback)
I was required to read this book for a class on Nursing Leadership. It is an excellent book hitting on many relevant topics in nursing leadership. There are chapters on the history and development of nursing leadership as well as ideas and goals for the future. Each chapter is infused with relevant quotes from a wide variety of sources that add to the information being learned at the time. One particular chapter of significance is #6 dealing with Gender Perspective in Leadership, something very important in nursing as more men are coming into a traditionally female profession.
Overall, I think this book should be required reading in all nursing education programs and it is now a staple and reference in my library. For those who wish to increase their leadership potential, this is an absolute must read. I also recommend The Dream Manager by Matthew Kelly. Combined these too books have reshaped a lot of my thoughts and ideas about leadership and the correct way to manage people.
