Nursing leadership skills have changed dramatically in a short period of time. Just being able to cover the schedule and ensure adequate orientation for new employees are not enough in today's health care environment. This article outlines steps to ensure adequate staffing levels, assess productivity, and justify the operational supplies and capital equipment necessary for effective patient care. It also outlines steps nursing leaders can take to market their programs and services. AORN J 73 (April 2001) 774–787.
