Interview data from four groups of nurse executives further define transformational leadership. In Part 1 (June 1995 JONA), the group that received the highest staff mean scores were more balanced in their leadership style. The second group, which also received high scores in Part 1, were analytic and enjoyed moving in to "clean up" situations. In the groups receiving lower scores, one relied on common sense in dealing with issues and the other influenced others on a situational basis. The author provides further definition on the composition of excellent nursing leadership.
