• Conclusion


    Sister Carolina Agravante’s CASAGRA Transformative Leadership Theory focuses on the Three-Fold Transformative Leadership Concept namely,


    1) Servant-Leader Spirituality, wherein a leader, through spiritual exercise, realizes that his model in caring for individual is Jesus;
    2) Self-Mastery, which involves individual’s self-awareness through formal education in nursing, a continuous education, seminars attended and his involvement in organizations; and lastly,
    3) Special Expertise, which draws emphasis in the nurse faculty’s involvement in the formation of his students.

    Indeed, Sr. Carolina’s CASAGRA Transformative Leadership Theory is timely in this ever fast-paced world. Nursing as a profession is inevitably changing and the demand to be at par with technology made it more competitive. Nursing students need nursing teachers to look up to. Embodied with these three concepts, it is timely to put this theory into practice.
