Commentary Congruent leadership: values in action

چکیده
Clinical leadership is best understood if our knowledge and insights of it are based on a theoretical foundation or a paradigm specifically related to clinical leadership. This paper discusses why current leadership theory, particularly transformational leadership, is inadequate for helping nurses understand or develop clinical leadership capabilities. It also outlines the new theory of congruent leadership that has developed from significant and sound research undertaken in the clinical setting, to offer a theory that can better support and develop nurses understanding of clinical leadership.
