title: Nursing leadership: to thrive in a world of change.
abstract: Change is becoming the norm in health care environments. Nurse executives in leadership positions are an essential part of an institution's ability to adapt successfully and flourish with change. It is important for the nurse executive to have a clear concept of leadership, the change process, and organizational cultures. This will allow the nurse executive to create an environment within the organization where change is seen in a positive manner and staff are empowered to meet the challenges of health care today.
