Better Every Shift for Nurses
Shift Five - Who's the Boss?
Navigating remote clinics with limited resources, learning the hard way that authority doesn’t guarantee followership, and discovering the power of curiosity—this episode explores what really happens when you step into a leadership role in healthcare. What do you do when your team pushes back, your plans unravel, and you realize you don’t have all the answers?
We share honest stories about the difference between being “the boss” and truly leading, the importance of humility and cultural awareness, and why asking questions can be more powerful than giving orders. If you’re a nurse, clinician, or leader who wants to grow, develop, and mature—both personally and professionally—this episode offers practical wisdom and gentle encouragement to rethink what leadership means in healthcare.
Everyone who enters health care wants to do the best they can - for their patients, their colleagues, and themselves. But wanting to do your best is only the beginning. True excellence isn’t a fixed point; it’s a process of personal and professional growth, reflection, and transformation.
At Better Every Shift, we dive into real stories that reveal how our “best” is something that evolves as we learn, stretch, and allow ourselves to mature. Together we explore the messy, inspiring, and sometimes uncomfortable moments that shape us into more effective clinicians and leaders.
