- Abstract
Objective: To identify the challenges faced by the new graduate nurses in leading a group. Method: bibliographical research carried out at the BVS. Results: Leadership styles; Leadership and the importance of the communication; and Leadership and the academic formation of the nurse. To exert an efficient leadership style it is necessary to know and to conciliate the maturity level of the led people. Beyond the leadership capacity, the leader must develop communication competencies. When leaving the university, the new nurses don't have a clear definition of their roles, therefore we understand that some changes may be necessary in the formation professionals in order to turn them into leaders. Conclusion: We conclude that the success of a leader depends on the establishment of a relation of trust and respect, and we believe that the leadership is a group process, where influences happen with the purpose to reach a goal, and therefore it is linked to an action meaning, which can be learned.
