One of the most effective ways to learn is in a community of people with a shared purpose. Therefore, by recognizing and cultivating the learning communities that arise within most organizational structures, we are actually organizing ourselves to learn. Using stories to inspire the reader to reflect and apply these concepts, the author explores learning communities in a variety of fields, including examples that involve entire organizations, single workgroups, and those that cross organizational boundaries.

The multicultural team clearly is a part of the landscape in many work environments today. This article focuses on the opportunity for leaders to create a climate in which people of diverse cultures are invited into full participation as their unit contributes its very best to the achievement of the mission and goals of the organization. Within this environment, members are valued for who they are and what they share, without bearing on race, religion, ethnicity, and orientation or physical limitations.

Retention and turnover of staff, particularly highly skilled nurses, are important issues for administrators in the current health care environment. The purpose of this article is to review the literature to improve our understanding of factors related to staff retention. Group cohesion, job stress, manager style, and autonomy are examined. Strategies to improve retention, which focus on these critical factors, are described.

Disease state management (DSM) offered in a community-based setting is convenient for the consumer, driven by "best practice" protocols, delivered by nursing specialists, supported by the newest information technology, outcome-driven, and the ultimate in clinically integrated delivery systems. Because the DSM is delivered in the lowest cost setting, the home or workplace, it also offers significant cost savings. Community-based DSM will likely be a central component of 21st century health care and holds many opportunities for entrepreneurial nurse managers. This article describes a community-based DSM that has achieved excellent clinical outcomes, high patient satisfaction, high physician satisfaction, and substantial cost reduction.
