The nurse manager workforce is aging so rapidly that we face a succession planning crisis in the near future. Despite this, many hospitals place little emphasis on formal leadership development. The next generation of leaders will come from self-motivated nurses learning from coaches and mentors how to become better managers.
One of the speakers at last month’s Nursing Management Congress in Texas conducted a quick, informal poll among attendees to see which age brackets were represented. Overwhelmingly, one group stood out: those who were less than 15 years from retirement. The speaker’s aim was to illustrate the point that our nurse manager workforce is aging and we face a succession planning crisis in the near future.
