Nursing and leadership: a personal view from outside the profession.
Following identification of some key concepts in leadership, the structure of the nursing profession is approached via class, gender, culture, practice, education and industrial features. While the need for micro-level leadership is identified, it is argued that major opportunities exist in restructuring nursing's educational bases and practice organisation, supported by mastery of industrial matters. Unification of the profession is necessary to achieve a higher profile and greater respect.
