Aim: The development of nurse leaders is critical to the future of the nursing profession. Strategies to address the current loss of nurse leaders are urgently needed. The aim of this analysis is to clarify the concept of talent management as an approach by which organizations can identify, strengthen, and support emerging and current nurse leaders. Background: The nursing profession worldwide is experiencing a shortage of nurse leaders. As nursing leaders are retiring, too few nurses are prepared to replace them. Nursing leadership is vital to effectively navigate healthcare system challenges and improve patient outcomes. Talent management moves beyond succession planning to attract, develop, and retain nursing leaders. Design: Walker and Avant's model is used for concept analysis. Data Source: A literature search was accomplished using Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, MEDLINE, PubMed, Business Source Premier, Canadian Major Dailies, and Management and Organization Studies. Review Methods: Keywords: talent management, succession planning, succession management, nursing, nursing leader, leadership, administration, and executive. Results: Definitions for the concept of talent management are elusive in both the business and nursing literature. There is a lack of clarity with regard to the definition of talent management. Conclusion: The critical attributes for talent management of nursing leadership are the identification of emerging nurse leaders and engaging them in the development of their leadership competencies. The use of this concept analysis for talent management will enhance and facilitate the stability of nursing leadership positions in today's healthcare organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
