Nursing leaders from six countries engaged in a year-long discussion on global leadership development. The purpose of these dialogues was to strengthen individual and collective capacity as nursing leaders in a global society. Field experiences in practice and education were shared. Perspectives on global leadership can strengthen nurses' contributions to practice, workplace and policy issues worldwide.
Transformational leadership empowers nurses' increasing confidence. Mentoring is needed to stimulate leadership development but this is lacking in many settings where nurses practice, teach and influence policy. Organizations with global mission provide opportunity for nurses' professional growth in leadership through international dialogues.
Dialogues among participants were held monthly by conference calls or videoconferences. Example stories from each participant illustrated nursing leadership in action. From these exemplars, concepts were chosen to create a framework. Emerging perspectives and leadership themes represented all contexts of practice, education, research and policy. The cultural context of each country was reflected in the examples.
Themes emerged that crossed global regions and countries. Themes were creativity, change, collaboration, community, context and courage.
Relationships initially formed in professional organizations can be extended to intentionally facilitate global nursing leadership development. Exemplars from the dialogues demonstrated nursing leadership in health policy development within each cultural context. Recommendations are given for infrastructure development in organizations to enhance future collaborations.
来自六个国家的护理领导者参与了为期一年的关于全球领导力发展的讨论。这些对话的目的是增强作为全球社会中护理领导者的个人和集体能力。分享了实践和教育方面的实地经验。关于全球领导力的观点可以加强护士对全球范围内实践、工作场所和政策问题的贡献。
变革型领导力增强了护士的信心。需要指导来促进领导力发展，但在许多护士实践、教学和影响政策的环境中却缺乏这种指导。具有全球使命的组织通过国际对话为护士提供了在领导力方面专业成长的机会。
参与者之间每月通过电话会议或视频会议进行对话。每位参与者的实例故事展示了实际行动中的护理领导力。从这些范例中选取概念来创建一个框架。新出现的观点和领导力主题涵盖了实践、教育、研究和政策的所有方面。每个国家的文化背景都体现在这些例子中。
出现了跨越全球区域和国家的主题。这些主题是创造力、变革、协作、社区、背景和勇气。
最初在专业组织中形成的关系可以扩展，以有意促进全球护理领导力发展。对话中的范例展示了在每种文化背景下卫生政策制定中的护理领导力。针对组织中的基础设施发展提出了建议，以加强未来的合作。
