In healthcare like any other business segment, leadership is vital.  Historically, healthcare organizations have been challenging to direct and lead.  This is mainly due to the complexities involved in taking care of human beings.  According to Andersson (2015), in healthcare, a common concern for organizations is leadership or the lack thereof.  Nurses play a vital role in healthcare.  They work alongside physicians to provide the best care possible.  The nursing profession needs to develop leaders from the bedside to the executive board (Lee, Daugherty & Hamelin, 2019).  One of the concerns for this segment of healthcare is that it was facing a shortage of professionals.  Experienced nursing leaders were retiring, and this has created a chaotic situation according to Lee, Daugherty & Hamelin (2019).  Nursing leaders would need to be developed as the field of nursing would be dominated by younger professionals.  A solution to this concern is for these younger nursing leaders to have formal leadership training.
