The “actions” of the nurse theorists have shaped nursing as a discipline by providing distinct knowledge that serves as a guide for research, practice, education, and leadership. With these “actions,” the theorists have “inspired” generations of nurses dedicated to excellence in nursing; the theorists were and are some of the original leaders in nursing. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on a personal leading-following path guided by Parse’s humanbecoming paradigm, specifically her leading-following model.
