katharine j. densford international center for<br />
nursing leadership<br />
curious, possess an eager mind, be dedicated to, and work<br />
consciously toward, fuller international understanding <strong>of</strong> nursing<br />
contributions to the health <strong>of</strong> local and global communities. Such<br />
values and beliefs, as well as principles and action, suggest the need<br />
for ongoing wisdom work related to nursing leadership.<br />
There is a great need for nursing leadership wisdom work<br />
derived from a generative philosophy. Working in partnership with<br />
individuals, groups, organizations, and systems, I believe together<br />
we can create wise and resilient leaders who can navigate complex<br />
systems and guide us into the future. For example, this fall, the<br />
Center, in collaboration and partnership with Wisdom Out (www.<br />
wisdomout.com), will <strong>of</strong>fer a leadership development program:<br />
Leadership Resilience: Wisdom that Supports Meaningful Change.<br />
In the spring, the Center will partner with the <strong>Minnesota</strong> Hospice<br />
and Palliative Care Association (http://mnhpc.org/public/hospiceminnesota/about-hospice-minnesota)<br />
to <strong>of</strong>fer a pre-conference<br />
workshop on pain management in palliative and hospice care as<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the 2013 Florence Wald Lectureship on Hospice and Palliative<br />
Care <strong>Nursing</strong>.<br />
I am eager to work with you and your organizations to craft<br />
programs that meet your pr<strong>of</strong>essional leadership, research and<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional development needs. If you have ideas, opinions or<br />
want to establish a partnership with the Center, please contact me<br />
dpesut@umn.edu or 612-626-9443. I look forward to co-creating<br />
the future with you – with wisdom work in mind.<br />
“Wisdom is the application <strong>of</strong> intelligence,<br />
creativity, and knowledge to the common<br />
good by balancing intrapersonal (one’s own),<br />
interpersonal (other’s) and extra personal<br />
(institutional or other larger) interests over the<br />
long and short terms, through the mediation<br />
<strong>of</strong> values, so as to adapt to, shape, and select<br />
environments.” (Sternberg, 2004).<br />
