With the aim to enhance the senior nursing managers to be
caring leaders so that they can nurture
their team members to be holistic care providers, a one
year program has been developed with
emphasis on self-reflection and self-cultivation. It
aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a one-year
leadership enhancement program in an acute general
hospital. Both quantitative and qualitative
approaches were adopted. A pre and post questionnaire
survey and the content analysis of selfreflective essays were conducted. The
overall means of the servant leadership scale and the
workplace wellness scale were significantly higher
after the program. Both scales were also found to
have a significantly medium level of positive
correlation. Reflective essays showed positive
feedbacks complementing the quantitative data that the
program was well received and effective. A
leadership enhancement program based on a servant
leadership model with emphasis on selfreflection and self-cultivation was found
to be effective in promoting nurse leaders well-being in one acute general hospital. This program is worth to be
considered as an in-service leadership training program
in other acute hospitals. However, further research should be conducted at the
same time to assess its effectiveness to build
up more evidence.
