  This well-respected text is designed to teach nursing students about leadership and the management process and to supply the practicing nurse with valuable information about nursing administration. This 6th edition has been thoroughly revised and reorganized into two distinct parts to provide a logical, streamlined approach. Part One, Leadership, discusses communication, stress management, decision-making, motivation, power and politics, conflict management, and leadership theories. Part Two, Management, is organized according to the management process: Plan, Organize, Staff and Control. In response to the dramatic changes in health care in recent years, the revision expands both content and focus. New and expanded content discusses delegation, team development, transformational leadership, cost containment, free market competition, and continuous quality improvement. The 6th edition focuses throughout on current trends that include technology, ethics, diversity and managed care.
