The investigator is interested in developing a targeted leadership development programme based on transformational leadership theory and strong evidence to implement among charge nurses.

Based on the current health scenario and considering the challenges posed by Covid-19, there is a need to develop transformational leadership skills of charge nurses with a view to develop future leaders.
