Abstract
The nurse leaders’ role in facilitating the creation of healthy work environments
continues considering the unprecedented challenges created by the COVID pandemic.
Rebuilding an energized, thriving workforce requires courageous leadership. Tackling
human resource issues, disrupting silos, and discarding nonproductive processes necessitate
a profound commitment to positive change. The nurse leader finds ways to connect with
other leadership and staff to regain trust, handling each situation with empathic
concern and thoughtful communication. A positive example of disrupting to rebuild
is provided.
