QUESTION

The nurse manager frequently interacts with staff and other hospice facility employees.

Communication is purposeful because the manager assesses current issues, such as specific satisfactions and dissatisfactions with the newly implemented computerized documentation system. Informally, the manager gathers available staff members to address similar learning needs. Many times, staff members are found coaching other staff about improving use of the new system. According to Senge (1990), the activities demonstrated in this example are:

a. Dialogue, team learning.
b. Resilience, personal mastery.
c. Shared vision, systems thinking.
d. Mental models, teachable moments.

ANSWER:

ANS: A
Building shared vision occurs when leaders involve all members in moving personal visions of the future into a consolidated vision common to members and leaders.
