Leading through Serving: The Christian Nurse Leader

Christian nurse leaders embody the principles of servant leadership by fostering teamwork, compassion, and humility, guided by a biblical worldview. This paper explores the role of servant leadership in nursing, focusing on key areas such as team building, mentorship, quality patient care, and creating a positive work environment. Inspired by Robert Greenleaf’s servant leadership framework and the teachings of Jesus Christ, Christian nurse leaders prioritize the well-being of others while making informed decisions that enhance patient outcomes and operational success. By integrating ethical standards, biblical values, and collaborative practices, servant leaders leave a lasting impact on healthcare organizations, improving the professional development of their teams and promoting a culture of excellence and service.
