Systems lean into nurse educator initiatives
07/23/25 at 03:00 AMSystems lean into nurse educator initiatives Becker's Clinical Leadership; by Mariah Taylor; 7/18/25 There is a key driver behind the nationwide shortage of nurses: a severe nurse faculty shortage. To solve both shortages, more systems and nursing programs are creating formal venues to enlarge the nurse educator pipeline. Like the nurse shortage, universities and nursing programs are facing a nurse faculty shortage that has reduced their capacity to accept and train students. Too few nurses are pursuing advanced degrees and becoming educators in the field, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. So systems are developing programs that boost interest and remove barriers for nurses who want to teach. These programs — many of which launched in the last year — range in commitment and scale. Here are a few examples: ...

Wisdom in leadership—Do we have the time to be wise?
07/16/25 at 03:00 AMWisdom in leadership—Do we have the time to be wise? Forbes; by Melanie Hughes; 7/13/25 In today’s corporate world, where speed often seems like the ultimate competitive advantage, many leaders and organizations risk losing something far more valuable: wisdom. The question is pressing—do we have time to be wise? I was inspired to revisit this question by Manfred Kets de Vries’ essay on wisdom. Kets de Vries reminds us, “wisdom can’t be taught,” it emerges instead through life’s crucible: reflection, vulnerability, relationship, and, perhaps most importantly, teaching others. He argues that simply transmitting information—even the best advice—is not enough to cultivate wisdom. It comes from grappling with ambiguity and experimenting in the messy reality of life and work.

Future-proofing leadership requires a deliberate approach to change management — and strategic prioritization.

The 8 virtues of great leaders
07/09/25 at 03:15 AMThe 8 virtues of great leaders Forbes; by Eli Amdur; 6/27/25 ... I write on leadership (and a few other topics) because I’m supposed to be an “expert.” Well, let me set the record straight. That word – expert – makes me nervous. ... But I’ve learned along the way since my career began 57 years ago, and leadership is one area in which I can share some value ... [Leadership theory] should support the axiom that it is not skills alone that will determine leadership in the 21st century and beyond. It’s the humanity of the leader that will do it every time. ... So, as I rest my case about leadership virtues being the differentiators, here’s what I’ve learned along the way: The Eight Virtues of Great Leaders.
The hidden skill that separates great leaders
06/19/25 at 03:00 AMThe hidden skill that separates great leaders Forbes; by Cicely Simpson; 6/13/25 The most important communication lesson you’ll learn in your career is often overlooked. And it’s not what you think. Being in rooms with world leaders and hundreds of CEOs for the past 25 years has taught me one lesson about communication that stands out above all: Everything matters in context. Most people assume great communication is about being clear. And while clarity is crucial, it’s not enough. What truly elevates your leadership is your ability to communicate with context.

Do you provide any similar type of training for your employees and volunteers, designed to simulate contexts and interactions with persons with dementia? Surely, you can!

Furthermore, only about half of nursing home residents nearing the end of life receive hospice care. So, how can we improve palliative care for individuals in nursing homes? [This] podcast explores this crucial question with three leading experts: Connie Cole, Kathleen Unroe, and Cari Levy.

The best leaders ask the right questions
05/20/25 at 03:00 AMThe best leaders ask the right questions Harvard Business Review On Leadership, Episode 110; podcast by Arnaud Chevallier; 5/14/25 Few leaders have been trained to ask great questions. That might explain why they tend to be good at certain kinds of questions, and less effective at other kinds. Unfortunately, that hurts their ability to pursue strategic priorities. Arnaud Chevallier, strategy professor at IMD Business School, explains how leaders can break out of that rut and systematically ask five kinds of questions: investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective. He shares real-life examples of how asking the right sort of question at a key time can unlock value and propel your organization. With his IMD colleagues Frédéric Dalsace and Jean-Louis Barsoux, Chevallier wrote the HBR article “The Art of Asking Smarter Questions.”
