c. Solves all of the problems

A
Traditional models of coercive or authoritative leadership styles have nurse managers demanding or directing nursing staff to action without wanting to hear opinions on solving problems. The transformational leader empowers staff to use evidence-based practice strategies to improve patient care outcomes. Transformational nurse leaders maintain visibility with staff, are supportive and considerate of staff, and constantly interact with staff by demonstrating a willingness to share leadership responsibilities with them.
