Virtual Leadership Lab

The Leadership Laboratory is a blended learning program (online work and Zoom meeting) held over a seven-month period. The program is a fresh format for the leadership development of nurse managers and is facilitated by Dr. Barbara Mackoff.

Grounded in peer-to-peer consultation and evidence-based management, this program maximizes opportunities for managers to advise each other, convey wisdom and share best practices in dealing with leadership issues in the context of evidence-based management.

What is the impact from the labs?

Through interactions with colleagues from across the country, nurse managers have the opportunity to develop expertise on topics and challenges relevant to their leadership practice. Groups from the same facility are encouraged to participate together to reinforce learning.

What to expect in Learning Labs

Each monthly Leadership Lab is organized around one of six key leadership practices. The lab consists of interactive discussion posts, videos and periodic readings and assessments leading up to a Live Learning Lab. Participants can expect to spend approximately 1.5 hours of online work leading up to the Live Learning Lab and 1.5 hours on the Live Learning Lab Zoom meeting.
