Letter to the Nurses (1872)
“A person in charge must be felt more
than she is heard—not heard more than
she is felt”
“a person… in charge must have a
quieter and more impartial mind than
those under her, in order to influence
them by the best part of them and not
by the worst”

PRACTICE TEST

good leader may not manage well. Both roles
can be learned; skills gained can enhance either
role.
