Transitions from Traditional Leadership to Inclusive Leadership in Nursing
Date: April 15, 2025
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Cost: ANA-Ohio Members - Free
Non-Members - $25.00
Contact Hours: 1.0
Registration will open after April 2nd.
Presenters: Chris Seminatore, Ed.D, MSN, MBA, RN, CEN, EMT-P and
David Ealy Jr., Ed.D., MHA
Session Description: Defining how to be a leader has varied throughout history. Initial theories suggested that a person’s traits, technical skills, or knowledge qualified them as a leader. More recently, leadership theory has focused on how well leaders form relationships with their followers. Traditionally, these relationship theories may be referred to as transformational, servant, transactional, or authentic leaders. An evolving relationship leadership theory, inclusive leadership, is relevant to nursing leaders as it can positively affect employee engagement, patient and organizational outcomes, and turnover intention. This discussion will review traditional leadership theories and introduce the characteristics, benefits, and implementation of inclusive leadership.
Accreditation Statement: ANA-Ohio is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
