Annual meeting keynoter O’Hagan urges nurse leaders to take risks

Speaking at AONL’s annual meeting in April, Sarah Robb O’Hagan, a former executive managing brands such as Gatorade, Nike and Virgin Atlantic, offered ways nurse leaders can challenge themselves to gain new experiences and hone leadership skills. Her five strategies include taking risks, embracing your strengths and being willing to fail. Leaders who are know their strengths are better able to motivate others, she noted. "If we're doing a good job of knowing who we are at our core as leaders, then the most important thing is how you bring out the best in others, so they can play to their full potential," O'Hagan said.
