Abstract

This was the question asked by Elaine Maxwell in the last edition of the Journal of Research in Nursing. Specifically, she asked, ‘Leadership: What is it good for?’ (Maxwell, 2020)then clarified the question by asking, ‘who are we leading and to what end?’ Finally, she asked us to seek clarification about and to debate, ‘what professional leadership is, could and should be’.In this response, I hope to take up the challenge and respond as well as I can, by clarifying aspects of professional leadership and describing why I think leadership is vital by specifically focusing on what I think professional leadership is good for.
