Fitzpatrick, PhD, MBA, RN, FAAN, FNAP, FAANP (hon), Director, Marian K. Shaughnessy Nurse Leadership Academy Elizabeth Brooks Ford Profession of Nursing Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing Distinguished University Professor Case Western Reserve University “So what is leadership?” This is the simple (yet complex) question that I am often asked. Here are the answers I provide: Leadership is part of your being, the moral compass that permeates all that you do, say and believe. Leadership is an attribute that if reflected in your everyday interactions with everyone in your orbit, your family and friends, your co-workers, and those who you barely know, but with whom you have contact. Leadership is being authentic in the way you behave with others, the communication that you share and the feelings and thoughts that you have. Leadership is also a set of skills, learned behaviors that encourage others toward a shared vision, common goals, and a greater purpose. Leadership is finding meaning and purpose in your work. Leadership is modeling the way in everything that you do and say. Leadership is self-awareness, listening to yourself, reflecting on your own beliefs, your knowledge and skills. Leadership is doing what you can to actualize your unused potential. Leadership is managing conflict to create true win-win situations. Leadership is learning from others, the children in the playground who are spontaneous in their support of each other, and the board members in the meeting who are supportive in their own way. Leadership is humility, knowing that none of us is infallible Leadership is a belief in the power of our collective humanity, working together for the good of all. Leadership is sharing your deepest convictions about the way that nursing and health can and should be, reaching for the stars that promote health as a right and not a privilege. Leadership is caring for those most vulnerable, the neglected, the ill, the downtrodden, the marginalized…just as nurses do every day in every organization. Leadership is listening to those whose views are radically different from yours and trying to find a common purpose and a common ground for the good of all. Leadership is professionalism, understanding the social contract that we as nurses have with the public, upholding our ethical obligations to all in our care, and living our professional nursing standards. Leadership is assuming responsibility for our own actions, being accountable for our actions and understanding the consequences. Leadership is pushing the boundaries when the boundaries need to change. Leadership is investing in others’ greatness. Leadership is identifying needed change and creating the vision and processes to initiate change. Leadership is providing guidance, to individuals, groups, and organizations. Leadership is active and decisive decision-making to achieve shared goals. Leadership is taking a risk, to implement a vision and achieve goals. Leadership is understanding yourself, being aware of your potential and the power of intentional communication. Leadership is building relationships with your those who can help you and those you can help, building relationships for the purpose of helping others to actualize their potential. Leadership is mentoring others, and allowing yourself to be mentored. Leadership is promoting collaboration and building community. Leadership is knowing when to step back, when there is an affront to your integrity. Leadership is being transformational. Leadership is being an advocate, for patients, for colleagues, and for the public health. Leadership is being a trusted professional. Leadership is motivating others to act. Leadership is embracing change and effecting change as needed. Leadership is acclaiming others’ successes and assisting them to achieve their highest potential. Leadership is YOU! How many of these leadership attributes describe you? Which of these leadership attributes do you want to develop or strengthen? What is your plan to make it happen?
