Personal model of leadership
Transformational leadership is a perfect style that is can be used in nursing. This is relative to the fact that, nursing requires teamwork to achieve the goals of the patient, certification and even those of the individuals. Ideally, every other member of the professional team, has some significant inputs that they bring to the treatment plans (Lin, MacLennan, Hunt & Cox, 2015).

Ideally, the leader is focused on the performance of the team when compared to the transformational leader who focuses on the larger picture as well as the growth of the team at the individual levels (Sherman & Habel, 2017). However it is also crucial to mention that, in the case of an emergency, the leader is able to control the situation with much ease and efficiency. In such a situation, the transformational leader is likely to have a hard time trying to take control of the group as every other member of the team is trying to take part in the decision making process ("How Nursing Leadership Styles Can Impact Patient Outcomes and Organizational Performance | Bradley University Online", 2017).
