Review
Review quotes for the main book, Visionary Leadership in Healthcare.
"Wei & Horton-Deutsch have used their voices-and those of an immensely talented pool of coauthors-to write a book that actually leads us toward developing and sustaining visionary leadership and supplies us with the necessary passion to engage. This text belongs on the bookshelf of all thoughtful and compassionate leaders and will be the go-to resource for our emerging healthcare leader colleagues!" -Judith F. Karshmer, PhD, PMHCNS-BC, FAAN Dean and Professor, Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation Chief Wellness Officer Arizona State University
"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."-Kelly M Johnson, PhD, RN, NEA-BC Senior Vice President, System Chief Nurse Executive, and Chief Nursing Officer The Queen's Medical Center
"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."-Karen Drenkard, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN Associate Dean and Professor George Washington University School of Nursing
"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."-Gay Landstrom, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAONL, FACHE Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer, Trinity Health
"Drs. Holly Wei and Sara Horton-Deutsch, known for their professional work in Caring Science and the promotion of transformational relationships, have honored healthcare professions with their new book, Visionary Leadership in Healthcare. A must-read!"-Dale E. Beatty, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Caritas Coach Chief Nurse Executive, Vice President of Patient Care Services Stanford Health Care
