title: Staff development for leadership.
abstract: Leadership, that amorphous concept so essential to nursing and so difficult to describe in its broadest context, can be learned if viewed as a set of behaviors that may be applied selectively to assist a group to move toward its goals. Given a supportive climate, a variety of approaches are effective, including one-to-one consultation, role modeling, goal orientation, and workshops on specific leadership behaviors.
