The DUHS Nurse Executive Council (NEC) is comprised of senior nursing leadership, which includes: all unit Chief Nursing Officers (CNO), Assistant Chief Nursing Officers (ACNO), and nurse leaders from ambulatory care units. All units are represented on the DUHS NEC to ensure the team promotes consistency and allocates resources equally throughout the health system. This team is responsible for planning, creating, and implementing nursing priorities every year for 4600 nurses in their health system.
IT SHOULD come as no surprise to most nurses that the best and most experienced clinical members of wards or unit teams do not necessarily make the most effective managers. Yet employers persist in appointing senior clinical staff into ward or unit managerial posts, or worse, encourage clinical staff to take up managerial posts and then burden them further by asking them to retain clinica! responsibilities (Stanley 2006a, 2006b}.
Transition to Leadership Scholarly Paper: Transformational leadership Leadership demonstrated by nurses has been identified as an essential aspect of efficient functioning within a unit as well as, it is a pillar of high quality nursing care (Ajanaku & Lubbe, 2021).

Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Indeed, in an ever-changing, complex health care environment, nursing leadership has become a crucial factor in managing challenges and maintaining patient safety (Fischer, 2016).
However, there are certain strategies that can overcome these barriers. For instance, the nurse’s resistance to change and poor communication of objectives is overcome by constant communication of the benefits of this leadership style not just through word, but also through actions until they understand its
The corporation’s cultural values include compassion for patients, teamwork and an aspiration to win, and driving results with determination, urgency, and accountability.

As the healthcare landscape continues to shift, medical providers and hospitals are continuously being challenged to develop clear and concise visions and redesign care delivery in ways that will usher proper transitions to value-based care. As value-based healthcare continues to take root, more and more hospitals and providers are finding themselves with little option but to join the movement. However, the jump from previously utilized fee-for-service models to value-based healthcare is not an easy one, and many healthcare organizations are finding it difficult to do so. The greatest challenge lies in successfully making the transition from volume to value-based healthcare in ways that are financially stable. Such inherent difficulties faced by those within the healthcare system are what have necessitated strategic

Advocating and designing care with the patient and family is a true skills set and cultural attribute that adds tremendously to a culture of safety and patient – centeredness but requires the most able leadership to build these bridges across the many professionals engaged in care. Building this culture is a leadership challenge and there is no one in my experience better able to make these changes than nursing leaders ( Maureen Bisognano, 2009). Nurses should not just be at the bedside or within the nursing community but must be involved as leaders and decision – makers throughout the healthcare system. As Maureen Bisognano (2009) points out, the best nurses are accomplished envoys among different players and interests involved in direct patient care, which is a skill needed throughout organizations and businesses, not just in hospitals or
