What makes a good leader and how can every nurse demonstrate these skills whatever their seniority or setting?

This episode of the Nursing Standard podcast examines the topic of leadership and how all nursing staff and other healthcare workers can find and develop their own style.

Guest Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust chief nurse Karen Bonner talks about her own style of authentic and compassionate leadership and how to inspire staff.

She tells interviewer Nursing Standard editor Flavia Munn how leaders such as herself have had to flex their style to the needs of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ms Bonner, who started her first chief nurse post in Buckinghamshire just as the pandemic was beginning, talks about the well-being techniques she uses to maintain her resilience. 

She also discusses the importance of reflection.
