Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing / 11th Edition — Theory and Application by Carol J. Huston

Most nursing leadership texts stay abstract. Leadership Roles and Management Functions in Nursing is built around the opposite instinct: several hundred learning exercises that hand you a staffing shortfall, a disciplinary conversation, or a budget cut and ask what you would do. Huston pairs each management function with the leadership behaviour it demands, which is what makes the book stick after the exam.

What the book covers

• Decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking frameworks for managers
• Staffing, scheduling, delegation, and workload distribution
• Conflict management, negotiation, and handling difficult employee conversations
• Ethics, advocacy, legal responsibility, and professional accountability
• Budgeting, fiscal planning, and resource allocation on a unit
• Quality control, performance appraisal, and organisational change

Who it’s for

Undergraduate and RN-to-BSN students in a leadership or management course, new charge nurses, and nurse managers preparing for a formal role.
