Abstract
As a nurse, leader and advocate, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of nursing leadership. From my early days of clinical practice to my tenure as the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) at the Simcoe County Branch (SCB), I have seen how effective leadership can drive change, improve patient outcomes and enhance the work environment for employees. However, I have also observed the challenges that arise when leadership is fragmented or siloed. To truly transform Canada's health system, we must embrace the full spectrum of nursing leadership and unite in our shared purpose.
