The pandemic years have laid bare the many faults and inequities in global healthcare systems. By exposing what is broken, COVID-19 has created a paradigm shift, spurring healthcare systems to evolve beyond an illness narrative toward one that focuses on health and healing. As nurses and healthcare professionals help lead this systemic change, they must re-envision their leadership styles.
Visionary Leadership in Healthcare equips and empowers leaders to envision, expand, and transform the current healthcare system to achieve a global, life-sustaining perspective. Drawing on decades of experience, authors Holly Wei and Sara Horton-Deutsch embrace an evolved worldview as they call to move away from hierarchical leadership to more engaged, open, equitable, inclusive, authentic, and caring leadership styles.
