Crisis Leadership: Lessons from the Front Line.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented time for leaders to lead. The uncertainty and complexity have been overwhelming, and for many of us, the tools available in our leadership toolboxes have been tested during the pandemic. In my experience, for nurse leaders to best lead during such challenging times, we need to truly understand what the front line needs from us in a crisis. I believe that six leadership practices are key for nursing leaders to support front-line engagement while navigating and leading teams through a crisis.
