Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: As baby boomers age, the need for new healthcare leaders will emerge. Hospitals should be diligent to ensure organizational stability and eliminate derailment. Hiring and promoting leaders based on their multiple intelligences aids in securing personnel that embody the organization’s desired attributes. The problem addressed the relationship between leadership roles and demographic variables and the intrinsic multiple intelligences of nurses within the United States. This study population (N= 381) included nurses within the United States within Survey Monkey’s database. The theoretical framework of this study was Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory. The data garnered from this study can facilitate social change by aiding human resources departments in the hiring and promotion process. The results indicated a statistically significant relationship between five of the seven intelligences and leadership. The findings also conveyed a significant relationship between 13 of the 49 demographic variables and the intelligences. More research is needed to further the knowledge relative to the intelligences and the hiring and promotion processes.
