"Nursing Leadership During Crisis provides powerful insight into the new leadership necessary for our current healthcare environment. Informed from the recent pandemic, the authors stress leading differently through influence and innovation with an emphasis on self-care and mindfulness for the leader who must care for self in order to care for and lead others. It is a must read for developing and mentoring nursing leaders."

"Nursing Leadership During Crisis provides a clear call to action for all nurse leaders inevitably navigating the confluence of the Covid-19 pandemic and a wide range of profound societal shifts. Through a series of compelling narratives, the authors reveal the historic opportunity at hand to lead with joy and purpose through human connectedness and relationships as a path to intentionally transforming the nursing profession's impact from most trusted to most influential."

"The importance of leadership in nursing cannot be overstated. Situating leadership in today's context is the unique contribution of this book. The pandemic affected clinical practice, higher education, the workplace, and our overall society in unprecedented ways, including the economic shutdown. The shutting down of our society made racial injustice visible. The crises resulting from these challenges demand a new skill set and profile for leaders that go beyond the past personas. This book provides a road map and mechanism to develop the socially responsive leaders needed as we move to a preferred future."

"This book will be used for generations by nurse leaders and others due to its practical and theoretical information. The authors hit on all the critical topics needed to manage a crisis and provide tools, strategies, and stories to help the reader internalize the information. I highly recommend this book for lessons on everyday leadership, as well as crisis leadership."

"This book cannot be published at a better time. As we move from pandemic to endemic, readiness is key, as there will be other crises in healthcare. The authors are seasoned experts who have weaved wisdom from many disciplines into content vitally applicable for emerging leaders in today's healthcare milieus. The cutting-edge content and chapter exercises operationalize theoretical tenets to practice. Kudos to the authors for this seminal, much-needed work!"
