Leadership isn’t attained, it’s learned.

Observing and learning from effective leaders, seeking mentorship, and actively engaging in leadership opportunities contributes to the development of leadership skills.

On this episode of Moments Move Us, we meet Cynthia Latney, the Senior Vice President and Chief Nurse Executive at OhioHealth. Cynthia has been working in nursing practice and leadership for over 36 years. Due to her experience, she shares the importance of being your authentic self as a leader while creating teams that can continue to thrive after you leave. Observing and learning from effective leaders, seeking mentorship, and actively engaging in new opportunities can contribute to the development of leadership skills.

Furthermore, Cynthia reflects on a multitude of challenges the practice faces, including industry burnout, the process of redefining the typical work-life balance of a nurse, as well as the chaos of brand new obstacles prompted by the pandemic.
