Important read for all nurses

I was required to read this book for a class on Nursing Leadership. It is an excellent book hitting on many relevant topics in nursing leadership. There are chapters on the history and development of nursing leadership as well as ideas and goals for the future. Each chapter is infused with relevant quotes from a wide variety of sources that add to the information being learned at the time. One particular chapter of significance is #6 dealing with Gender Perspective in Leadership, something very important in nursing as more men are coming into a traditionally female profession. Overall, I think this book should be required reading in all nursing education programs and it is now a staple and reference in my library. For those who wish to increase their leadership potential, this is an absolute must read. I also recommend The Dream Manager by Matthew Kelly. Combined these too books have reshaped a lot of my thoughts and ideas about leadership and the correct way to manage people.

Good choice for leadership models

well organized and easy to read. Small nough to fit in pocketbook and read on lunch break

Excellent Resource for NLN CNE Certification Exam

This book was recommended at a preparation course for the NLN CNE exam for nurse educators. This book, The New Leadership Challenge: Creating the Future of Nursing is excellent at providing needed information related to leadership and nursing. This book would also be a good textbook to the nurse educator teaching a nursing leadership course to nursing students. I definitely recommend this book to anyone preparing for the CNE exam as well as for general information on leadership as it applies to nursing.

New Leader

As a new leader and returning nursing student, I find this book engaging and insightful. The content is pertinent to my current practice.

Just What We Need!

As an author myself, I search for references that cover new concepts in a concise, comprehensive, and inviting way. Grossman and Valiga give us just what's needed to motivate nurses to think about the importance of acquiring leadership skills at all levels of nursing. Beautifully designed, well written, and just the right size (Seinfeld would definitely call it "bag-worthy"), this book uses a concise format to cover everything from stewardship to chaos theory in context of a changing health care setting. I recommend this book for any student or nurse. If you happen to teach nurses, you'll love the critical thinking exercises that guide and challenge new nurses to ponder their own growth as a leader.
