The Coaching Companion for Thriving Nurse Leaders
Leading with Mastery and Heart: The Coaching Companion for Thriving Nurse Leaders offers a fresh approach and on-the-spot coaching for nurses who lead. Catherine Robinson-Walker has revised and organized this Collection of her featured “Nurse Leader” columns so they form a “just in time” (vs. “just in case”) leadership development pathway. “Leading with Mastery and Heart” can be read from beginning to end, or opened anywhere to a topic that’s compelling.
Each chapter reflects Catherine’s relaxed, relatable writing style and each addresses a specific – and all too common – leadership challenge. Just a few of the salient topics covered in this Collection are:
- How to stay centered and positive in the midst of highly stressful situations.
- How to manage resistance and negativity.
- How to provide genuine inspiration along with direction.
- How to combat limiting circumstances and beliefs.
With its time-tested, real-world advice, Leading with Mastery and Heart: The Coaching Companion for Thriving Nurse Leaders is written for any leader – especially those who are current or aspiring nurse managers or executives – looking to quickly and effectively hone their leadership skills.
