The nurse executive as multiple frame manager.

Determining the skills a nurse executive needs to be successful in today's changing health care market continues to be a popular focus for discussion and research. The use of multiframe organizational management, an approach previously unexplored with nurse executives, was the focus of a qualitative research study with five nurse executives practicing in a large midwestern metropolitan area. The study not only revealed how nurse executives use this skill in their everyday practice, but also provided a profile of how one nurse executive uses multiframe organizational management.
