About this book:
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.
· This book provides an overview of leadership theories from ancient times to the present and a framework for applying emergent theories to develop adaptive, relational leaders. It also explores the factors necessary to create and sustain healthy workplace environments for patients and practitioners. Areas for innovation include:
o The evolution of leadership theories
o Disaster management
o Diversity, equity, and inclusion
o Organizational culture and collaboration
o Policy change
o Political and social determinants of health
