Barriers caused by organizational culture that can be encountered by nursing leaders that can make them feel powerless can be multiple factors. The culture that is found in organizations includes the values, customs, norms, beliefs and mores that dictate this how people behave within that culture. This cultures influences how people behave within that organization, for better or worse. Nurse leaders within a corporate model can feel powerless by a lack of communication from upper management, keeping employees uninformed, administration distancing themselves from employees, conflict among staff and lack of trust can leave nurse leaders feeling quite powerless within an organization. Some other barriers include: a lack of involvement, the negative image of nursing, a lack of enabling structures, a process which exclude nurses, and a lack of available resources (Shariff 2014). Nurse leaders may also come across barriers due to financial reasons and bureaucracy from upper management if the nurse leader is wanting to implement changes in their department or an area of management.
