Florence Nightingale's work exemplified what it means to be an effective Change Manager. In Florence Nightingale Was the Ultimate Change Manager, I highlight how Nightingale's work to improve sanitary conditions in military hospitals and, ultimately, healthcare stands up as a template for modern-day change management best practices.

Nightingale's ADKAR:

• A: Awareness of unsanitary conditions
• D: Desire to improve patient outcomes
• K: Knowledge through data collection
• A: Ability to educate and train Nurses
• R: Reinforcement through quality checks

So, how will you be a change agent today?
