title: Middle nurse manager effectiveness.
abstract: In a nationwide survey of academic health center chief nurse executives (CNEs) and middle nurse managers (MNMs), human management skill was ranked as the most important criterion of effectiveness. The characteristic of flexibility/negotiation/compromise was second. Neither group reported fiscal management skills as a top priority for MNM effectiveness. The authors compare the results with earlier studies of the effectiveness criteria of CNEs, for whom human management skills were ranked second and general management skills first.
