Just as action speaks louder than words, stealth leadership achieves results, not rhetoric. Twenty‐first century thought leaders value transparency, return on investment, and sustainability. Stealth leadership operationalizes these concepts by shifting the focus from subjective personality to objective performance. In the spirit of disruptive innovation, stealth leadership substitutes simplicity for complexity.
Ensuring that caring individuals are graduated from colleges of nursing is necessary to meet the holistic needs of a multicultural society. Two instruments, The Nyberg’s Caring Assessment Scale and Nkongho’s Caring Ability Inventory, assessed caring attributes in pre-clinical Baccalaureate and Associate degree nursing students. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring was chosen as the theoretical foundation. Although most students had low to moderate levels of internal caring, some students in both groups possessed high levels of caring. Implications of the study suggest that caring education is needed during nursing school.

San Francisco: Jossey-Bass. 368 pp. ISBN: 978-04701-8545-2 $29.95 (Hardcover).Einstein once observed that imagination is better than science. Only those with imagination are intrepid enough to conceptualize "visions, strategies, and insights on managing in a new era" because there are no definitive, empirical answers. Because closure cannot be achieved until the "new era" has matured, Frances Hesselbein and Marshall Goldsmith's collaborative effort epitomizes scholarly speculation.Uncertainty characterizes the 21st century, as reflected in research on the progression of information technology, titled Did You Know? According to Fisch, McLeod, and Bronman's (2009) thought-provoking video:• The top 10 in-demand jobs for 2010 did not exist in 2004• We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist, using technologies that haven't been invented, in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet • One in four workers has been with their current employer for less than a year • One in two has been there less than five years
