This course will provide students with the theoretical underpinnings of leadership, management and nursing theory. Theoretical constructs in leadership and nursing theory are examined in relation to historical perspective, theory development, and theory-based practice. In addition to nursing theory, students examine the foundational constructs of leadership theory. Examination of leadership theory and process in relation to the professional role of the nurse leader is undertaken. Students perform a leadership self-assessment and create a personal leadership agenda during this course. The course also focuses on developing critical thinking in others, aspects of today?s professional leader, and developing models for transformational leadership. (2 credits)
