Description
Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing, 11th Edition (Huston)
Nursing leadership is taught badly when it is taught as vocabulary. Huston’s text is built the other way round: theory is introduced and then immediately put to work in exercises that mirror real staffing conflicts, budget constraints, quality problems and ethical binds. That experiential design is why the book has held its position as the leading text in the field across eleven editions.
What the Book Covers
- Leadership and management theory — and the difference between the two, which matters more in practice than students expect.
- Decision-making, problem-solving and critical thinking in a clinical management context.
- Ethics, law and advocacy — professional obligations when they conflict with organisational pressure.
- Staffing, scheduling and workforce management, including delegation and skill mix.
- Fiscal planning and health care economics at unit level.
- Quality control, patient safety and performance appraisal.
- Organisational, political and cultural change — leading it, and surviving it.
How It Teaches
- Hundreds of active learning exercises — the core of the book’s method.
- Evidence-based content updated for current practice conditions.
- Applied case scenarios that require a decision and a defence of it.
Who It Is For
- Undergraduate nursing students in leadership and management courses.
- RN-to-BSN and graduate students moving into charge and management roles.
- New nurse managers and charge nurses.
- Nurse educators teaching leadership content.
