title: Applying the Adams influence model in nurse executive practice.
abstract: The ability to influence others is a required competency for nurse executives trying to achieve positive patient/organizational outcomes. The Adams Influence Model (AIM) is a framework for understanding the factors, attributes, and process of influence. The AIM is grounded in nursing and organizational literature and provides nurse leaders with a road map for developing an effective strategy to achieve influence with individuals and/or groups. The authors describe the AIM and present a case study illustrating its application by a chief nurse executive.
