Beyond the Bedside — Chapter 10: Leading, Managing, & Delegating
From code-blue decisiveness to quiet-hour diplomacy, this episode turns leadership theory into bedside action. We break down styles (autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, servant, transactional, transformational, quantum), the five management functions, Magnet & shared governance, just culture, Lewin’s change model + the 8-step plan, and conflict tools (PEARLA + strategies). Cases bring it to life: Rehema’s campus STI group, Stephen’s ICU multi-trauma plan, Jack Camp’s unit-culture reset, and a new grad navigating a preceptor’s suicidal crisis. You’ll get step-by-step workflows for safe delegation (ANA/NCSBN aligned), time management, mentorship vs preceptorship, and SWOT/SOAR planning—plus NCLEX-style prompts with quick rationales. Lead from any chair, protect RN scope, and build a resilient, learning unit culture.
