title: Leadership for the future.
abstract: Leaders are responsible for guiding others through a future that may be anticipated but is ultimately unknown. In addition, leaders are responsible for creating a positive future. If nurse leaders are to be successful in this process, they would benefit from knowing trends that are projected for the future, reflecting on the kinds of skills that are needed to meet the challenges presented by those trends, and proposing strategies that can be used for effective leadership in our uncertain future.
