abstract = {2020 was welcomed as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife, but it will long be remembered as the year of COVID‐19. It has illustrated the best in nursing resourcefulness and has also been the year when many nurses and other key workers died, mainly due to a lack of personal protective equipment. The Year of the Nurse and Midwife seems an appropriate time to reflect on nursing leadership and plan for the future. Thus, in this editorial, we as a group of nursing leaders from across Sigma Chapters in the United Kingdom—Phi Mu (England), Upsilon Xi at Large (Wales), and Omega Xi (Scotland)—aim to draw on this emergent critical dialog about nursing leadership to offer our collective position for embracing future opportunities afforded by this unexpected global event. We constructively focus on three key aspects: (a) leadership as not visible; (b) leadership as not collaborative; and (c) leadership not advocating for personhood of citizens. We aim to take a future facing position and search for what can be done and what is possible in the future, moving out of the immediate crisis into recovery.},
