Five nursing homes were investigated using a quantitative method. High- and low-performing nursing homes were carefully chosen as extreme case cases. The principal data gathering methods were more than 200 hours of observation, 80 formal interviews, several informal interviews, and document examination.

Conclusions:

The study was enhanced by using a few complexity science methods, which highlighted the striking disparity between the high- and low-performing nursing facilities. By promoting connections among staff, adequate information flow, and the use of cognitive diversity, leaders in the high-performing institutions acted in accordance with the nursing home's stated and lived mission. Low-performing homes, on the other hand, had leadership that was at odds with the declared objective, which muddled and undermined trust and relationships among staff, contributed to poor communication, and created role isolation and discontinuity in resident care.

Implications for Practice:

The study sheds light on the relevance of mission- and values-driven leadership behaviors, implying that relying too much on mechanistic, linear command-and-control tactics to enhance care, such as punitive measures to ensure regulatory compliance, will have little effect in the long run. Relationship-centered leadership, which incorporates micromanagement and joint molding of resident care, rather than doing the right thing for residents, complements doing the right thing for residents from a shared values-based experience. Developing a clear, consistent corporate objective, having fewer, more flexible rules to stimulate innovation, and allowing lateral decision making are all examples of practice implications.
