National Nurses Week 2023: Leadership Development Begins at the Unit Level, Chief Nursing Executive Maureen Sintich Says

"Whether it be thinking about leadership from a relationship perspective, or to be able to listen with empathy, or to be able to make an impact with our teams, there's a component of our nursing background that never goes away." — Maureen Sintich, chief nurse executive and executive vice president, Inova

Maureen Sintich, Inova's CNE and EVP, felt like “a fish out of water” when she first joined her healthcare organization’s operations team, but that was a long time ago.

For today's special feature on an influential nurse leader, I spoke with Sintich about how leadership development has changed dramatically since she first became a nurse leader.
