“Professionalism is acting as per the rules and regulations of one’s job” (Wilberforce, P. Personal Communication, January 6, 2016).

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).

In my undergraduate studies, I was first drawn to deconstruction and phenomenology after being astounded by philosophy’s reframing of theology’s conception of truth and understanding of ontology. Continental philosophy offered astute observations about the way human beings think and feel in the world in ways that theology felt wanting. Thus, I did further studies into continental philosophy in dialogue with my theological studies. I pursued a continuation of graduate studies in theology to continue research of how faith pertains to justice and to philosophy. My main concern in studying philosophy alongside theology – and reason for interest in graduate study of philosophy – is to be able to clearly articulate the implications of a phenomenology

They are able to connect, communicate and coordinate across multiple departments, professional opinions and voices, and the daily schedules of patients. 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
