Jenna's communication, coordination of resources to meet organizational goals and her leadership style are exemplary. Since she assumed her current role in April of 2022, her staff and I have witnessed her do five things that define excellent leadership. Jenna Davis “models the way, inspires a shared vision, engages in the process of the team, enables others to act, and encourages from the heart” (Kouzes and Pozner 2012). She also deserves a nomination for her inter-professional collaboration and communication. Ineffective communication between professionals is a major obstacle and is directly related to outcomes and quality (Clarin 2007). I have personally seen her here long after hours and on weekends doing additional preparation for the next day's or next week's surgery. I would encourage the nominating committee to talk to the nurses she manages for more personal examples of how effective a leader she is. 

Note: This is Jenna's 2nd DAISY Award!
