Nursing Leadership & Success Planning
In a survey conducted in Canada in the year 2003 by the association of Nurses in
Ontario, it was recorded that with collaboration and funding they have started creating a
sustainable work environment for nurses in the healthcare organizations. Nurses play a vital
role in achieving the organizational goals of high productivity, high-quality recovery and
treatment and timely access to health. However, several challenges have been faced by the
organization to recruit and train the nurses and the workforce and the reason that has been
suggested is the poor work environment provided to the nursing staff (Registered Nurses’
Association of Ontario, 2013).
A healthy work environment is needed for nurses which are complex and have lots of
dimensions that comprise numerous components and relationships among the components. A
comprehensive model is required to effectively guide the progress, development, and
implementation organized and systematic approach which will enhance the work
environment for the nurses in hospitals. Healthy workplace and sustainable environments for
nursing staff are defined as a practice or setting which will maximize or improve the health
and wellbeing of the nurses both emotionally and mentally which will result in quality patient
care and deliverables as well as organizational growth. It helps improving supportive and
evident decision-making skills. It made nurses about the capabilities they hold within
themselves which helps in shaping the care they proved to the patient such as resilience,
flexibility, emotional intelligence and skillful expertise (Stephens, 2017).
Creating a healthy environment is regarded as individual as well as collective
responsibility from both the sides. The entities like visibility and assess to the leaders is also

important to model the values and actions. The model for the improvement suggests that the
function of an individual is highly influenced by the interactions that are made between the
environment and the person. Hence, the aim of improving the environment and the
surrounding will certainly improve the person’s efficacy. It focuses on the promotion of a
healthy work environment at different levels and components. These levels start right from
the individual efforts to the organizational efforts. The model focuses on different
assumptions such as providing a healthy work environment for safety and quality care. The
individual and organizational level determinants influence the nursing interventions. There
are several cognitive and cultural components on each level of the model (Registered Nurses’
Association of Ontario, 2013).
Nursing leadership is an important concept and plays a vital role in the delivery of
patient care. The transformational practices are significantly supported by the evidences.
Leadership practices that are being reflected by the nurses effectively communicate with the
patient assessment and their queries. Nurses clarifying the information from patients and
families gives a promoting understanding and helps them in making informed decisions with
greater clarity and knowledge about the care that is to be provided to the patient (Hiyama,
2017).
Communication skills play a vital role in enhancing the clear and distinct remarks and
assessment of the task with the patients and the higher authorities. Moreover, quality of
advocacy must be enhanced which directly indicates the preservation of the dignity of the
patient and maintain the equality. Negotiation leadership quality must be inculcated so that
they can successfully handle the conflict by assessing it correctly and using the right
strategies to work on it (Berkowitz, 2017).
There are five major practice of the transformational leaders which includes building
relationship and trust with the patients and clients. It stabilizes the internal and external
interactions and the partnership. Creation of the workplace environment which so
empowering and strengthening which helps in supporting the works, opinions of the nursing
staff and avail them with opportunities. Environment which supports knowledge, learning,
and skill is crucial as it makes them worthful and respectful (Inouye, 2018).
Apart from these the organization support also plays a significant role hence it should
value the role the nurses play in proving the care to the patients. They must be supplied with
sufficient financial and human resources as credibility to selfless work. They must be

provided with the necessary information, opportunities and support and a conducive
environment to pursue effective nursing skills and professionalism (Spence, 2008).
Conclusion

healthy workplace that makes the nursing more sustainable in the organization. These
improved leadership outcomes would help in individual and organizational growth.
Leadership practices effectively handles the crisis and the issues faced and supports the
shortcoming of the staff. Moreover, the interventions with the help of the model help to
improve their work as well as the outcomes received from the patient. These attributes like
communication, negotiation and leadership skills among the nurses are linked with the
transformational and sustainable leadership.
