Nursing Leadership: power, politics and gender: the role of emotional intelligence

Abstract

The huge outpouring of public tribute on the recent death of Ronald Reagan (RR), and the many statements attesting to his `great leadership¿ came as a surprise to many. This was a President who was on the world stage at a time, when for many of us, less attention was being paid to international politics. Nevertheless, in many ways RR was portrayed as a somewhat unsophisticated man who had little conversation beyond movies and baseball.
