Nurse Manager Engagement: Strategies For Excellence And Commitment Is Based On The Groundbreaking And Highly Regarded National "Nurse Engagement Study" Project Funded By The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The Book Builds Upon The Key Ideas In The Study By Including Examples From Dr. Mackoff'S Conversations And Key Teaching Points From Her Work With Several Hundred Nurse Managers In The Three Years Following This Innovative Study. Nurse Manager Engagement Offers A Groundbreaking Approach--One That Distinguishes It From Other Nurse Management Books By A Focus On Building A Model Of The Solution Rather Than A Description Of The Problem. It Focuses On The Crucial Role Of The Nurse Manager In Engaging Staff Nurses And Building A Pipeline For Future Nurse Leadership.

In this bold, fresh approach to leadership, two psychologist profile more than 50 leaders who have leveraged the legacy of their life experiences into five powerful habits of mind to shape the way they think about, and respond to, challenges in their leadership. Readers learn about the inner work of leaders such as Sara Lee CEO John Bryan, Hearst Magazine President Cathleen Black, Cherokee chief Wilma Mankiller, Princeton President Harold Shapiro, Chicago Cubs President Andy MacPhail, and Ogilvy & Mather CEO Shelly Lazarus. Each leader tells a compelling story of translating the lessons of a lifetime into habits of mind that are central to his or her success. The Inner Work of Leaders is a book with a clear, strategic message: Leadership develops from within. Only when leaders do this inner work (and understand the experiences that have influenced them) can they develop powerful habits of mind for leading and inspiring others.
