Book Synopsis

This Facilitator Guide is designed to work with the textbook and Learner Activities Workbook and follows a similar format.

Learners can use the reflective questions and narratives to guide their reading, thinking, and group discussions or activities.

Like the textbook, this Facilitator Guide comprises five parts, which support nurse leaders' development in clinical practice or academic settings.

PART I -- The guide presents leadership theories in organizations. There are four topics in this part, which are close-ly connected:

PART II -- Leadership's roles in creating healthy work environments are addressed. The four topics in this part sup-port readers in establishing and promoting organizational culture and environments:

PART III -- Four visionary leadership theories are applied in practice:

PART IV -- The role of nurse leadership in collaboration, leading change, and innovation is presented:

With an emphasis on collaboration and partnerships, this book moves away from hierarchical forms of leadership to teach more engaged, open, equitable, inclusive, authentic and caring leadership styles.

"The pandemic has proven to be a pivotal time in the history of healthcare. Nursing leaders are heeding the mindful call to lead from head, heart, and hands to set the course for the future of nursing and create a caring health ecosystem to transform humanity. Visionary Leadership in Healthcare will be an invaluable resource for the healthcare community and facilitate our kuleana (responsibility) to lead with inspiration, hope, and resilience."

"Visionary Leadership in Healthcare redefines leadership as an expression of love and caring. This robust book spans the breadth of leadership theory and translates it into practice based on trust, caring, and compassion. With contemporary narratives and reflective questions for each chapter, this book is a relevant way forward for the practice of caring conscientiousness for all healthcare leaders. A must-read for all nursing academics teaching leadership practice and all executive healthcare leaders to reach a more reflective, intentional leadership presence."

"This volume is an important addition to the library of core sources for nursing leadership practice, particularly when that leadership is guided by Caring Science. Nursing, as a values-led profession, requires leaders that are grounded in their core values and led by purpose. This book helps the reader move toward greater engagement, openness, equity, inclusiveness, and authenticity-truly a values-based caring style of leader. I appreciate the case studies and reflective questions to help the reader move from absorbing knowledge to application. The section on nurturing healthy and healing work environments is so timely for addressing the global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on caregivers, particularly nursing. I look forward to adding this work to my personal library and using it to help guide a next generation of nursing leaders in their growth and development."
