As nursing workforce retirements increase, a continued push for effective leadership will be critical to healthcare outcomes in the coming decades (Vitale, 2018). As workforce shortages continue, it will be critical to educate managers who can advocate for, support, and empower staff. Healthcare organizations have a duty to provide nurse managers with the tools and support needed to manage effectively. Recommendations for organizational support include (Vitale, 2018):

• Clear aims and roles of the nurse manager to prevent ambiguity and lack of authority

• Strategic succession planning: identifying potential managers well in advance to allow for mentorship, formal education, and leadership development

• A focus on the interpersonal skills required to lead and manage people in the workplace

In addition, healthcare organizations need to support an approach to leadership that is aligned with the concepts related to the transformational leadership model. Transformational leadership is a core component of the Magnet Recognition Program® (ANA, 2015) and is based on a foundation of practices and behaviors that promote organizational outcomes such as:

• Improved job satisfaction

• Organizational commitment

• Productivity

• Turnover
