Is Experience Overrated?
Karlene M. Kerfoot, PhD, RN, CNAA, FAAN
Nurs Econ. 2013;31(1):39-40.
Introduction
Abby Mikawski (pseudonym) had done all the right things, in her opinion, on her quest to become a chief nursing officer (CNO). She planned her career progression to include changing positions and relocating to learn from leaders she respected and to work in various roles that would give her the breadth and depth of experience appropriate for her future. An important part of her plan was to learn about the “big picture” and to achieve health care experiences outside of the hospital. She carefully chose master’s and doctoral programs that she believed would provide the right kind of learning needed for her future career.
When she started looking for positions as a CNO, the first prerequisite was always “Experience as a CNO required.” In spite of securing several interviews, the outcome was always the same – the candidate chosen was one who had CNO experience. In fact, in Abby’s opinion, some of the people chosen were not particularly successful as CNOs. Abby became discouraged to learn the career path she had planned so carefully was not valued and she was not given a chance to prove her worth. Fortunately, the story ends well. Abby looked beyond the health care system, and now is a highly respected influential nursing leader in a health care related company that recognized her unique strengths and gave her a chance to lead in spite of her being an “outsider.”
We have to wonder how many Abbys there are out there who are being displaced by people lacking a diverse breadth of experience. When the Abbys go on to make enormous contributions elsewhere, we have to question the judgment of those looking exclusively for candidates with experience, rather than valuing the potential contribution of clever, innovative people with broad experiences. It would be interesting to follow the pathways of people we turn away in health care. Are we doing the right thing, or creating lost opportunities for health care to learn and grow from outsiders whose thinking is not filtered through the usual socialization of the inpatient, procedure-centered model of health care? At a time when we need creative and innovative thinkers to guide the country through the transformation of health care, unfiltered leaders should be in high demand.
