Management of Power
Nurse leaders are tasked with many objectives including leading and inspiring clinical
staff while balancing their power. The decisions they make affect the leadership team,
stakeholders, clinical staff and patients. Proper management of power is vital for effective
leaders in driving organizational outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to identify leadership
styles that support managing power in various organizational structures.
Leadership Styles and Management of Power
Nursing leadership requires a certain amount of authority and power to deliver on the
organization’s goal. Nurse leaders are tasked with leading a team to deliver effective, safe quality
patient care (Hughes, Carryer, & White, 2015). Emotional intelligence (EI) and nursing
leadership styles are closely linked to establish effective nurse leaders. [Tyc15] Tyckowski, et al.
(2015) describes emotional intelligence as:
Emotional intelligence is the ability to motivate oneself and persist in the face of
frustrations; to control impulse and delay gratification; to regulate one’s moods and keep
distress from swamping the ability to think; to empathize and hope. (p.174)
The current focus in nursing leadership is on transformational leadership, however,
nursing leaders need to use multiple styles of leadership to adapt to the dynamic changes they
experience daily. Transformational leaders possess professional maturity, excellent
communication skills, belief in the organization and trust in others. This type of leadership has
consistently shown improvement in many outcomes. Nurses led by transformational leaders
have higher self-motivation and job satisfaction rates. These nurses have improved patient safety
