title: Visioning: an important management tool.
abstract: Visioning is a powerful process that assists us in creating a picture of an ideal future. A vision is a dream, personally created, of how we would like our world to be. In sharing our visions we find common ground and a sense of connection. Today, in an unprecedented way, nurses at all levels are expected to exhibit leadership in setting direction for nursing practice. Assisting nurses to create and share their vision of the future is a mark of transformational leadership. It is an act of empowerment and an expression of caring.
