title: Leadership effectiveness: how do you measure up?
abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide leaders with a tool to collect accurate data of subordinate's perceptions. Leaders in the nursing profession must feel comfortable and be encouraged to seek the opinion of the staff they serve. Without actively seeking the feedback of subordinates there is no opportunity for personal growth and insight. So, while asking for staff feedback can be a "daring adventure" for any leader, leading staff who do not want to follow will result in an organization of "nothing" in today's health care arena.
