In 2014, the American Nurses Credentialing Center published an updated Magnet Recognition Program Application Manual. However, the components of the Magnet Model remained the same: emphasizing the importance of using a leadership style known as transformational leadership. Transformational leadership has been shown to be particularly effective in turbulent and uncertain environments, such as those found in today's healthcare organizations. Although not every organization will achieve Magnet status, nurses at all organizations can learn how to use the principles of transformational leadership to support a professional practice environment that results in outstanding patient care. This module explains what transformational leadership is, why transformational leadership is a key part of Magnet nursing organizations, and how it can promote work satisfaction among nurses and improve care for patients.
