In this lesson, learners will explore how to resolve team-based tensions using structured leadership tools designed for real-world nursing challenges. They'll apply frameworks like DESC, SBAR, and root cause analysis to navigate high-stakes disagreements—such as communication breakdowns during shift handoffs or escalating friction between clinical team members. By diagnosing sources of misalignment and practicing response strategies, learners will gain the skills to restore trust, reinforce accountability, and lead with clarity under pressure.

In this lesson, learners will explore how to lead clinical teams through tension and recovery with clarity, empathy, and resilience.
