The nursing unit has experienced high stress and a higher than normal turnover rate. The manager asks a longtime member of the nursing staff to analyze the manager's job performance. What is most likely the reason for this request?
1. The manager is questioning his or her leadership style and its effectiveness.

3. The manager is attempting to show concern about unit conditions.
4. The manger is inquiring about other leadership styles the nurse has encountered.

Rationale 1: This nurse manager is in a stressful situation. Assessing whether his or her management or leadership style is helpful or appropriate allows the manager to enhance his or her performance. It is likely that this nurse is questioning his or her effectiveness in the role and is asking for the opinion of an experienced nursing colleague.
Rationale 2: The evaluation process may require this input, but the rest of this scenario points to another answer.
Rationale 3: The manager is not likely to be just trying to show concern.
Rationale 4: The manager has asked the nurse to critique the manager's style, not about other styles.
