Ashley,
I agree that leadership consists of a multitude of characteristics. According to Broome and Marshall (2021), nursing leadership needs to involve a positive and supportive work environment. This can be accomplished through ethical and moral values (Mondini et al., 2020). Additionally, resilience can be a key attribute to effective leadership and building of confident practice (Kester & Wei, 2018). I believe that we can all appreciate those who maintain resiliency as it can further contribute to their overall authenticity and value of becoming a great leader.
When it comes to nurse leaders within our current practice, I think its great when there are those who maintain strong skills, behaviors, and expertise while also valuing others as equals with full attention and understanding given. Like your experience, it is vital that leaders have “open doors” for others to communicate effectively and build upon trust; which further helps fortify positive relationships and inspire continued commitment to ongoing learning and development. Thanks for sharing and have a great rest of your week!

Hi Ashley,
I enjoyed reading your discussion! Very interesting. You mentioned boundaries. What are some universal boundaries that all leaders should have? Are they always easy to define?
