Philosophy of Nursing Journal 4Leadership can manifest itself in different roles (client advocate, teacher, caregiver, coordinator, change agent) and through different theories and approaches to leadership. After reading Hood (2018) Chapter 17, reflect on your effectiveness as a leader. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What strategies, theories, or approaches align with your evolving philosophy of nursing? Why? How will you incorporate leadership in nursing in your philosophy of nursing or your vision and mission statement? 

Select a health care setting you want to focus on for your sustainability initiative (e.g., local hospital, veterans hospital, ambulance service, urgent care, nursing home, etc.).
