[Excerpt and supplemental materials for] Visionary leadership in healthcare: Excellence in practice, policy, and ethics
(Sigma Theta Tau International, 2022)
This item record pertains to an excerpt from Visionary Leadership in Healthcare: Excellence in Practice, Policy, and Ethics, which is provided free of charge by the publisher.
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

[Excerpt and supplemental materials for] Core competencies of civility in nursing & healthcare
(Sigma Theta Tau International, 2022)
This item record pertains to an excerpt from Core Competencies of Civility in Nursing & Healthcare, which is provided free of charge by the publisher.
About this book:
Incivility and other workplace aggressions have a significant impact on the lives of healthcare professionals, faculty, and students, as well as the patients and families in their care. Incivility in academic and practice environments can provoke uncertainty and self-doubt, weaken self-confidence, and cause detrimental and lasting effects on individuals, teams, and organizations. These behaviors can fracture relationships and result in life-threatening mistakes, preventable complications, harm, or even the death of a patient.
In Core Competencies of Civility in Nursing & Healthcare, Cynthia Clark—a nurse-leader dedicated to organizational change and an unwavering advocate for civility and dignity for all—provides an abundance of practical solutions to create and sustain communities of civility, diversity, inclusion, and respect in academic and healthcare environments. Using a wealth of evidence-based interventions, hands-on tools, and scholarly resources, this book expands current thinking on the topic of civility to create and support healthy, productive work and learning environments for the benefit of all.
