Abstract
Nursing leadership development is important in today's changing health care climate. Nurse leaders affect staff satisfaction, patient outcomes, and the fiscal status of most health care organizations. This article delineates why leadership development is important to nursing, how to strengthen nursing leadership, how to design a methodology for building an internal nursing leadership development program based on levels of curriculum content, and what members of an organization can help teach the curriculum.
