Our Leadership Philosophy

Transformational leadership is a management style that motivates teams to take ownership for their roles and perform beyond expectations. Instead of assigning tasks from the top, transformational leadership teaches people how to think critically rather than just do what they are told.

• We believe in creating work environments that are CIINDE (Caring, Innovation, Intuitive, Nurturing, Dynamic, Empowering).

• We believe leaders inspire a shared vision, by living and modeling the mission, vision, and core values in all aspects of their life.

• We believe in building relationships through trust and creating a culture that supports knowledge development and integration.

• We believe in nurses as advocates and leaders.

• We believe in possibility and responsibility to reward, recognize, and celebrate the contributions of individuals and teams.

• We believe in a Culture of Creativity. We encourage people to be creative and innovative and to exceed beyond the basis of their roles and responsibilities.

• We believe in Lifelong Learning and the Beginners Mind. We encourage people to take responsibility for their growth and development by engaging in self-care practices and embodying their unique way of being.

• We believe in respectful Communication. We believe in open, honest, and ethical communication. 

• We believe in Interprofessional Collaboration. We have the responsibility to ensure we have adequate representation in an environment of inclusivity to accomplish our shared vision and goals.

• We believe nurses need to be leaders of change in all roles – from the bedside to independent practice – to advance health and wellbeing.

• We believe nurses should have a voice in health policy decision making and be engaged in implementation efforts related to healthcare reform, particularly regarding quality, access, value and client centered care.

• We believe in integrity.
