Abstract
Nurse leaders are often promoted based on stellar clinical performance or tenure without
being provided leadership training. Nurses who receive training in leadership competencies
are shown to be more effective and confident in their roles. The General Self-Efficacy
(GSE) Scale was used to measure the participants pre/post competence and confidence
in their leadership skill. The results showed a statistically significant difference
in the pre- and post-GSE scores of leaders who participated in the leadership development
program. This project demonstrated that providing leaders with a leadership development
curriculum improved their leadership competence and confidence.
