Leadership is fundamental to the nature of nursing to ensure the development of safe practice, interdisciplinary relationships, education, research and ultimately, the delivery of quality healthcare. Leadership and Nursing: Contemporary Perspectives 2e presents a global perspective of leadership issues within the Australian context. It builds on the premise that nursing leadership is for all nurses — not just those who are authorised to hold a position within an organisation.

The text is aimed at senior undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students making the transition to practice as well as professional nurses seeking to strengthen their clinical practice and governance. New chapters on: Indigenous leadership in nursing: Speaking life into each other’s spirits Leadership and its influence on patient outcomes Leadership and empowerment in nursing Leadership and health policy Developing and sustaining self Interprofessional education (IPE): Learning together to practise collaboratively Leadership and the role of professional organisations Leading nursing in the Academy Avoiding derailment: Leadership strategies for identity, reputation and legacy management
