When the emperor has no clothes / Rosanne Raso

Being real and honest rather than living a pretense is an important part of the nurses' leadership practice. This may be a bit of an exaggeration. It isn't always a black and white situation of reality versus fairytale. There are usually subtle or not-so-subtle variations on this theme. Choices aren't so easy in these situations and acting like they are may be a career-limiting gesture. It's possible that your perspective is truly only yours and you have to broaden it to understand a different reality. That seemingly unrealistic change may be innovative and disruptive but not impossible. On the other hand, when it's clear that something is wrong, you have to stay true to your values and be a courageous leader.
