There are many meaning-making moments within the leader-leader protégé relationship that shapes each person moment-to-moment over time. It is important that there is a nursing theoretical framework to serve as the foundation to build a professional relationship with a knowledge base that is unique and shared by the leader-leader protégé. It is essential to think about the ways in which leading and mentoring may be connected, so that mentoring may arise within leadership. The purpose of this paper is to explore the essences of Parse’s (2021) leading-following model in light of mentoring.
