This discussion paper argues for the critical importance of successful leadership for effective mental health nursing, observing that nursing leadership has long been regarded problematically by the profession. Using empirical and theoretical evidence we debate what leadership styles and strategies are most likely to result in effective, recovery-orientated mental health nursing. Models of transformational and distributed leadership are found to be highly congruent with mental health nursing values, yet the literature suggests it is a type of leadership more often desired than experienced. We note how the scholarly literature tends to ignore the "elephant in the room" that is organizational power, and we question whether transformational leadership pursued within a specific clinical context can influence beyond those confines. Nevertheless it is within these contexts that consumers experience nursing, effective or otherwise, thus we should advocate what is known about effective leadership wherever it is required.
本讨论文件认为成功的领导力对于有效的心理健康护理至关重要，观察到护理领导力长期以来一直受到该专业的质疑。我们利用实证和理论证据来讨论什么样的领导风格和策略最有可能导致有效的、以康复为导向的心理健康护理。转型和分布式领导模式被发现与心理健康护理价值观高度一致，但文献表明，这种领导方式更多的是被期望而不是被体验。我们注意到学术文献往往忽略了组织权力这一“显而易见的问题”，我们质疑在特定临床环境中追求的转型领导力是否能够超越这些界限产生影响。然而，正是在这些背景下，消费者体验着护理，无论是有效还是无效，因此，我们应该在需要的地方倡导有效的领导力。
