Do Leadership Skills Impact Clinical Decisions Made by Ward Managers?

I am employed as a lecturer at a School of Health Sciences in the South of England. My interest in the theory of decision making developed whilst undertaking a clinical decision-making module during my Master of Science program. I have since been a module leader for clinical assessment and decision making, teaching qualified nurses undertaking further study. My previous role in clinical practice as a senior sister/ward manager offered me the opportunity to undertake a leadership program. The ward manager's role encourages practitioners to make their decision making transparent.
