The dialogue for this column is a summary of a dialogue among two preeminent nursing scholars and myself that took place “live” at the 40th Meeting of the American Academy of Nursing, focused on transforming healthcare. The dialogue was recorded and transcribed verbatim. In editing the dialogue I tried to leave it conversational which was the nature of the interaction. The paper that follows reflects the thinking of two executive nurse leaders who use different nursing frameworks as the basis for their practice. Translation of their practice models to leadership is presented as a natural transition to transformation.
