Scholarship – Building Academic Leadership Capacity Through Coaching

This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Scholarship track features Anne Krouse and Janice Brewington. The discussion centers on their research into building academic leadership capacity through coaching, highlighting the transformative impact of the NLN's LEAD program on participants. The study identified three key themes: encouraging intentional self-reflection, validating perceptions of challenging professional situations, and strategizing options for action plans and behaviors. Drs. Krouse and Brewington emphasize the importance of self-awareness, values clarification, and the distinction between coaching and mentoring in developing effective leaders. The episode underscores the need for nurse educators to embrace their leadership roles, take risks, and lead with integrity and authenticity.Learn more about Drs.
