Emergent leadership in health care
A humbling experience this past weekend, honored as a mentor to this country’s leading executive nurses who, as it turns out, are the emerging innovation leaders in health care. They are doing things that easily and far surpass the will and imagination of their boards, physicians, and policy makers.
Forget about the partisan rhetoric that belies a national indifference to those who deserve access and quality in the care. Many of these leaders are CEO’s in the boardroom, but behind the scenes are innovating in every corner of health care. They are the ones driving the local and state level experiments that we will look to for revolution and evolution at the national level.
The problem is that no one knows this, but that will change as these leaders will capture the optimism deserving of issues at the root of every dimension of life quality. I am very proud of them and am graced to serve.
