Dr. Mary Oriol was the keynote speaker on the topic of Leadership at the “The Future of Nursing in Southeast Louisiana” forum hosted by the Louisiana Action Coalition in Kenner, LA on April 16, 2014.
Dr. Oriol presented quotations from leaders through the ages, such as Sun Tzu in 500 BC to Michelangelo in 500 AD to Harry Truman in 1948, and many others. Dr. Oriol demonstrated how their leadership principles can serve as a guide to managing and adapting to changes in healthcare associated with the Affordable Care Act as well as recommendations by the Institute of Medicine for nurses and nursing education.
Kudos to Dr. Oriol!
