1. What action by a nurse-manager best demonstrates servant leadership?
a. Prioritizing the interests of others over the manager’s own interests
b. Cultivating a personal relationship with each subordinate
c. Making decisions on the basis of customer service
d. Communicating a clear vision for the future and asking subordinates to share it
ANS: A
Feedback: Managers who are servant leaders put serving others, including employees, customers,
and the community, as the number one priority. This attitude is not dependent, however, on having
a personal relationship with every subordinate. Customer service is valued, but the servant leader
also emphasizes the needs of employees and the community. Servant leadership has a place for
vision, but this is not a specific characteristic of this type of leadership.

2. The nurse-manager who seeks to exemplify emotional intelligence should:
a. attempt to remove emotion from decision making.
b. prioritize emotion over reason when making decisions.
c. regulate his or her own emotions and those of others.
d. effectively manipulate the emotions of others to achieve goals.
ANS: C
Feedback: Theorists studying emotional intelligence posit that the ability to regulate the emotions of
self and others is key to effective leadership. Emotional intelligence does not involve removing
emotion from decision making; conversely, it does not claim that emotion should trump reason.
Management of emotions is not the same as manipulating the emotions of others, which is unethical.

b. Ensure that employees know the consequences of misleading the manager.
c. Avoid making decisions that displease large numbers of employees.

Feedback: There is no guarantee that followers will not mislead leaders, but adhering to certain
principles, such as making sure that followers are allowed to disagree, will guard against this
happening. The manager can often not avoid making unpopular decisions.
Enacting punitive measures (consequences) has not been shown to encourage honesty. The use of
“informants” is likely to cultivate mistrust and is likely to increase dishonesty.

a. They are brave in all situations.
b. They may have character flaws.
c. They are by nature good-intentioned.
d. Charisma is their strongest attribute.
ANS: B
Feedback: Leaders may be deceitful and trustworthy, greedy and generous, and cowardly and brave.
To assume that all good leaders are good people is foolhardy and makes us blind to the human
condition. It is only when we recognize and manage our failings that leaders achieve greatness. No
one can be brave in each and every situation. Many good leaders have strong charisma, but this is
not always the case.
