Six Essential Skills for Leading People, Performance, and Change

Nobody prepares you for everything that happens when you step away from the bedside and into nurse leadership.

Suddenly, you're responsible for staffing, budgets, difficult employees, organizational decisions, and changes you didn't necessarily ask for. You're expected to have answers, solve problems, support your team, and somehow keep your own head above water.

Drawing on real experiences from her nursing and leadership career, Melanie Troxell, MSN, BA, RN, CV-BC, shares the stories, mistakes, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies that helped shape her approach to leadership.

Through humor, candor, and occasionally uncomfortable truths, Getting Up Off the Floor explores six essential leadership skills: translating organizational decisions, turning performance data into action, understanding the business of healthcare, building trust and accountability, leading change, and developing teams that can thrive without constant rescue.

You'll encounter difficult physicians, challenging employees, unexpected mentors, leadership decisions that don't make sense, and moments that remind us why we became nurses in the first place.

With practical Nurse Leader Advantage™ tools and thought-provoking questions throughout, this book helps nurse leaders strengthen their judgment, communicate more effectively, make better decisions, and lead with both confidence and compassion.

Because leadership will knock you down sometimes. The important thing is what you learn, what you change, and how you get back up.
