During the fall of 2000, the Patient Care Services Education
Team, with the sponsorship of Mary Ann Thode, Tony Gately, and
Marilyn Chow, began the Leadership Series for managers of nurses.
We call this series, “Leading in a Changing Environment.”
We recognize the need to bring our managers of nurses together
to identify strategies and tools to enable them to lead within
our changing environment at Kaiser Permanente. The objectives
for the series of conferences include:
Encouraging the heart and spirit within one’s self
and one’s work environment
Identifying strategies and tools for better communication
and team building within our work units
Understanding the power of influence and decision making
Identifying strategies and tools for enhancing a culturally
diverse work environment
Identifying innovative services and sharing of best practices
Using the six
Nursing Pathways as a guide for identifying implementation
of successful nursing practices and nursing staff development
Since its inception, we have held seven forums, reaching
over 2000 managers, directors, and executives.
Evaluations show sessions are positively received, providing
managers with an opportunity to have candid discussions with
organization leaders.
