Summary:According to the International Council of Nurses (ICN), senior nurse managers and nurse executives have a mandate to scale up nursing leadership skills and decision-making authority globally.1 To this end, ICN sponsors 3 leadership programs for nurse leaders in developing and developed countries: Leadership in Negotiation, Global Leadership Institute, and Leadership for Change. All these programs are geared towards developing a high caliber of nurse leaders who possess competencies to address the demands for patient safety and quality in today's complex global healthcare environment. Huston2 asserts that the nurse leader for 2020 must embrace a global perspective regarding healthcare and professional issues. Nurse leaders must be politically perceptive, adaptive to rapid change and chaos, and highly adept in decision making, team building, and collaboration.2,3
