When considering our work over the past 15 years, one major theme comes to mind as the key to leadership success: aligning passion with purpose. Leaders in our industry are, more often than not, drawn to serve in healthcare because of a pivotal personal experience or a desire to improve health and wellbeing for others. We know that in order for work to be meaningful, passion (something that excites you) must be aligned with purpose (deep-seated motivation behind doing something).

May is National Nurses Month and to recognize the critical role that nurses play in the health ecosystem, we’re continuing to explore the impact of nurse leaders on patients, health systems, and the entire industry and demonstrating why it is so important to invest in nurse leadership, engagement, and empowerment strategies. 

There’s a reason the American Nurses Association calls nurses the “backbone of healthcare provision in the United States.” Nurses provide critical health care services, are often a patient’s first or primary point of contact throughout their care journey, and help promote overall health and wellness in the communities they serve through education and practice. 

As the world of work changes, organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain optimal talent. In response, healthcare organizations are reviewing — and in some cases, overhauling — their talent strategies to validate leadership competencies and prepare leaders to meet current and future challenges.
