The theory “CASAGRA Transformative Leadership” is a psycho spiritual model. It is coined after the name of the investigator: Sr. CArolina S. AGRAvante

The model is a Three-Fold Transformation Leadership Concept rolled into one, comprising of the following elements:

1. Servant-Leader Spirituality;

2. Self-Mastery expressed in a vibrant care complex;

3. Special Expertise level in the nursing field one is engaged in.

These elements rolled into one make-up the personality of the modern professional nurse who will challenge the demands of these crucial times in society today.

The CASAGRA Transformative Leadership Theory is classified as a Practice Theory basing on the characteristics of a Practice Theory stated by McEwen (2007), which are the following:

a. Complexity / Abstractness, Scope - Focuses on a narrow view of reality, simple and straightforward;

b. Generalizibility /Specificity - Linked to a special populations or an identified field of practice;

c. Characteristic of Scope – Single, concrete concept that is operationalized;

d. Characteristic of Proposition – Propositions defined;

e. Testability – Goals or outcomes defined and testable;

f. Source of Development – Derived from practice or deduced from middle range theory or grand theory.
