Staff engagement: it starts with the leader.

* Nursing cannot grow stronger unless we can recruit and sustain a cadre of engaged, spirited, and involved leaders. * The body is designed to work most effectively in a series of 90-minute increments with a recovery time in between. * The science of leadership/management can be seen as a game of chess where the pieces can move in all directions all over the board based on the uniqueness of each player. * Creating an optimistic culture where people feel they have hope and freedom to grow and mature will create a sense of engagement.
