Graduate students learn effective management.
This article describes an active learning approach used in a management seminar for master's students to assist them in internalizing knowledge gained in the seminar. Participating in a research project aimed at identifying the qualities of an effective nursing manager enabled students to improve their research abilities, examine their work environment, and thereby increase their motivation and satisfaction. The study results supported findings of earlier studies, emphasizing "human skills" as most important for effective management.
