As the current nursing shortage intensifies under the weight of an aging population, retention of front-line staff is becoming paramount. Studies have consistently demonstrated that the leadership style of nurse managers plays a significant role to this end. This paper describes some of the challenges that managers encounter in their dealings with the contemporary multigenerational workforce - including the baby boomers, generation X and generation Y (the "millennials"). A review of research findings suggests the insufficiency of a single leadership approach to nurse management compared to more tailored generational strategies. Application of the transformational leadership model provides the background and tenets from which solutions are proposed for multigenerational management.
随着老龄化人口的压力使当前护理人员短缺问题加剧，留住一线员工变得至关重要。研究一直表明，护士长的领导风格在这方面起着重要作用。本文描述了管理者在与当代多代员工队伍（包括婴儿潮一代、X一代和Y一代（“千禧一代”））打交道时遇到的一些挑战。对研究结果的回顾表明，与更具针对性的代际策略相比，单一的领导方式在护士管理方面存在不足。变革型领导模式的应用为多代管理提出解决方案提供了背景和原则。
