The  Developing and Sustaining Nursing Leadership Tips and Tools (2014), brochure describes evidence-based practices that nurses performing both formal and informal nursing leadership roles can use to enhance their skills. It reviews the Five Practices of Transformational Leadership and includes a Leadership Self-Assessment.

Leadership practices are relationship-based and are fundamental for transforming nurses’ work settings into healthy work environments. These practices can apply to all nursing roles and levels of leadership. Point-of-care nurses who may not think of themselves as leaders will find meaningful examples of leadership at the point-of-care.
