title: Teaching leadership with role theory.
abstract: A model based on Mintzberg's use of role theory to describe managerial functions was applied to nursing education. The model builds on interpersonal, informational, and decisional activities of managers (Mintzberg, 1978), and identifies nine subroles that are frequently carried out by managers in nursing. Organization of material using this structure has been well-accepted both by baccalaureate nursing students and by practicing nurses whose educational background in management concepts is limited.
