Risk taking is a key aspect of academic leadership essential to meeting the challenges and opportunities in higher education. What are the practices of risk taking in nurse faculty leaders? This interpretive phenomenological study examines the experience and meaning of risk taking among nurse leaders. The theme of doing the right thing is brought forth through in-depth hermeneutic analysis of 14 individual interviews and two focus group narratives. The practice of doing the right thing is propelled and captured by leaders through a sense professional responsibility, visioning the future, and being true to self and follow one's core values. This study develops an evidence base for incorporating ways of doing the right thing in leadership development activities at a time when there is tremendous need for highly effective leaders in academic settings. Examining the practices of doing the right thing as a part of leadership development lays a foundation for building the next generation of nursing leaders prepared to navigate the ever-changing and complex academic and health care environments.
冒险是学术领导力的一个关键方面,对于应对高等教育中的挑战和机遇至关重要。护理教师领导者的冒险实践是什么?本解释性现象学研究通过对 14 名个人访谈和 2 个焦点小组叙述的深入解释学分析,考察了风险承担的经验和意义。通过专业责任感、展望未来以及忠于自我和遵循核心价值观,领导者推动并抓住了“做正确的事”这一实践。在学术环境中急需高效领导者的当下,本研究为将“做正确的事”的方法纳入领导力发展活动提供了证据基础。将“做正确的事”作为领导力发展的一部分进行研究,为培养下一代有能力应对不断变化和复杂的学术和医疗保健环境的护理领导者奠定了基础。
