Abstract

Recent changes in healthcare policy including the sentinel paper from the Institutes of Medicine, now known as the National Academy of Medicine, 2010 report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health and the most recent, The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity reports have demonstrated the changing role of nurses creating a growing need for nurse leaders. The healthcare industry is seeking to find a leadership style that will facilitate the goals of providing quality care in a collaborative environment. With its natural focus on service, the style of the servant-leader is one option. A literature critique of servant-leadership, nursing and nursing education revealed a lack of research in this area. The authors wrote this article to elucidate existing literature on the topic and discus why further research into the need to incorporate servant-leadership into nursing education is important to facilitate the advancement of the profession.
