Question

Effective teams in nursing are essential and lead to improved efficiency, better coordinated care, and better patient outcomes. Two strategies that nurse leaders and managers can use to build effective teams include effective communication and setting clear expectations and goals. Effective communication builds a positive work environment by allowing members of the team to collaborate, talk, listen, and empathize with one another. As a result errors are reduced, productivity is improved, and continuity of care is promoted (Caralyn, 2021). A team that shares goals and clear expectations is more effective than a team without set directions. When nurse leaders establish expectations and goals, every member of the team knows their role and duties (Duquesne University, 2023).
