Why Leadership Isn't a Miracle Cure

for the Covid-19 Crisis

GIANPIERO PETRIGLIERI

If I hear more calls or congratulations for leadership in the COVID-19 crisis, I’m going to be sick. And so will a lot more people, who are innocent victims of what I like to call “leaderism”—an intoxication with leadership that harms us more than the ills we invoke leaders to cure. But don’t take my word for it. Look at the science.

Shortly before the coronavirus hit, a team of scholars from Europe and the United States unveiled the findings of a daunting new study. Kevin Kniffin, Jim Detert, and Hannes Leroy were curious about the popularity of a simplistic dichotomy that suggests “leaders” are different than “managers.” Leaders ignite people’s imaginations and mobilize them with a compelling vision. They inspire. Managers worry about figures, stick to processes, and keep the lights on. They control. Those who deploy that contrast hasten to add that we need both.

The HolliBlu Story:
A Story About Connecting.

CARA LUNSFORD

In 2016 I met a beautiful woman who was battling stage 4 breast cancer. I was her home health nurse for 8 months and was also with her the night she passed away. We had forged an amazing friendship over that time together, with many conversations about end-of-life before she passed. She spoke candidly about how she wanted to experience the dying process and I listened.

During one of our chats, she asked me to find and release blue butterflies after she passed away. I went in search for them but, much to my dismay, I was unable to find any before I was called back to the house to be with her in her final hours.

t was a beautiful and peaceful passing, just as she had planned. While I sat next to the bed, alone, I held her hand and asked for a sign that she had made it home................

Upcoming Show...

NURSING MUST ADVOCATE FOR ITSELF!

October 5th, 2020, @10 AM Pacific Time

on VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness Channel

This episode hits a LOT of the notes I have been trying to promote through this show. The value of Nurses, the work that we do and our unique contributions to the health of our citizens has been almost completely left to the people who often know the least about us. James Kerridge, DNP, DON of AMITA St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago will join me October 5 at 1 PM ET/12 N CT/10 AM PT to delve into Nursing engagement, burnout, moral distress, nurse wellness, defining our own roles and value rather than allowing others to do that for us. How are Nurses the quintessential group of people to take healthcare forward for the benefit of patients’ positive outcomes over the money-driven healthcare that has lowered USA standards and effectiveness.
