heal.abstract	Background: Transformational leadership style is positively associated with job satisfaction and retention of nursing staff. Although nurse administrators think themselves as transformational leaders’, this is not supported by their subordinates. Methodology: A 26 items self-completed questionnaire was completed by 30 head nurses, about their perception on the type of leadership they exercise. Results: 86.7% were female, 63.3% were 36-45 years’ old and a mean years being a head nurse 7.8 (+/-5.03) years. The majority of participants considered that they are very sensitive, strict, correct, humble and “get things to the edges” for a better tomorrow. Female participants could take strict and unpleasant decisions easier than male (p <0.05), while older head nurses were less tolerant of mediocrity and poor performance than the younger ones (p <0.05). Also older head nurses said the truth and did practice transparency more than their younger counterparts (p<0.05). Head nurses who had more years of experience were willing to easily disagree (p <0.05). Conclusions: Majority of head nurses think they are righteous, humble and they have the guts to improve practice at any personal cost. The findings imply that they consider themselves as transformational leaders. Transformational characteristics are affected by age, gender and years of work experience as head nurses.	en
