Nurse leadership during a crisis: ideas to support you and your team
- Moore, Carley
Abstract
There are three central themes of crisis leadership: communication, clear vision and values, and caring relationships. During a crisis - such as the current coronavirus pandemic - these are essential parts of nurse leaders’ roles. This article examines the existing evidence about each of these themes and suggests ways in which nurse leaders can support themselves and their teams. It also discusses the implications for training and the future opportunities that arise as a result of a crisis.
