Concepts

Key Concepts

- The CASAGRA Transformative Leadership Model have concepts of leadership from a psycho-spiritual point of view, designed to lead to radical change from apathy or indifference to a spiritual person. 

- Servant-leader formula is the enrichment package prepared as intervention for the study which has three parts that parallel the three concepts of the CASAGRA transformative leadership model, namely: the care complex primer, a retreat-workshop on Servant-leadership, and a seminar-workshop on Transformative Teaching for nursing faculty. 

- Special expertise is the level of competence in the particular nursing area that the professional nurse is engaged in workshop is the spiritual exercise organized in an ambience of prayer where the main theme is the contemplation of Jesus Christ as a Servant-leader. 

- Servant-leadership behavior refers to the perceived behavior of nursing faculty manifested through the ability to model the servant leadership qualitiesto students, ability to bring out the best in students, competence in nursing skills, commitment to the nursing profession, and sense of collegiality with the school, other health professionals, and local community.

- Nursing leadership is the force within the nursing profession that sets the vision for its practitioners, lays down the roles and functions, and influences the direction toward which the profession should go. 

- Transformative teaching may also be termed Reflective teaching, an umbrella term covering ideas, such as thoughtful instruction, teacher research, teacher narrative, and teacher empowerment. 

- Care complex is the nucleus of care experiences in the personality of a nurse formed by a combination of maternal care experiences, culture based-care practices indigenous to a race and people, and the professional training on care acquired in a formal course of nursing. 

Three-Fold Transformative Leader Concept

I. The Servant-Leadership Spirituality here is prescribed to run parallel to the generic elements of the transformative leadership model.

      

This formula consists of a spiritual exercise, the determination of the vitality of the care complex in the personality of an individual and finally a seminar workshop on transformative teaching.

The servant-leader formula prescription includes a spiritual retreat that goes through the process of awareness, contemplation, story telling, reflection, and finally commitment to become servant-leaders in the footsteps of Jesus.

II. The Self-Mastery consists of a vibrant care complex possessed to a certain degree by all who have been through formal studies in a care giving profession such as nursing.

III. The Special-Expertise level is shown in a creative, caring, critical, contemplative and collegial teaching of the nurse faculty who is directly involved with the formation of the nursing.
