EXEMPLAR: our shared experience of implementing action learning sets in an acute clinical nursing setting: approach taken and lessons learned.
Abstract This paper outlines the process employed by a Nurse Unit Manager and her senior nursing team to introduce action learning sets (ALSs) to the nursing staff of an inpatient medical unit. During the process, a workplace culture creative visioning exercise was also facilitated. A key finding of the exercise was that the process enabled others to act while challenging the process and encouraging the heart. Effective leadership enabled staff involved to foster growth.
