"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

"
- U.S. President John F. Kennedy
A good nurse leader is someone who can inspire others to work together in pursuit of a
common goal, such as enhanced patient care.
An effective leader has a distinctive set of personal qualities: integrity, courage, initiative
and an ability to handle stress. This individual is often admired in their efforts to think
critically, set goals and skillfully communicate and collaborate.
Nurses "may hold the key to transforming healthcare and dragging it into the 21st century
in terms of work practices and reform, Genevieve L. Thyer, Dip Ed, MN, BSN, RN,
writes in the Journal of Nursing Management. "This is because nurses are visionary,
creative, involved in decision making at patient level and have gender-based qualities,
and communication strategies the healthcare sector needs," she says.
In today's quickly evolving environment of healthcare, it's time to develop creative
leadership, i.e., the capacity to think and act beyond the boundaries limiting your
potential and avoid professional derailment or faltering career moves.
