In Vision 2025, what does 'Leaders' mean?

• A. Influencing Change in Policy, Environments, and Complex Systems
• B. Providing Direct Patient Care
• C. Increasing Market Share
• D. Reducing Costs

Answer: (A)

Leaders in Vision 2025 are defined by their ability to influence change across policy, environments, and complex systems. This means stepping beyond individual tasks and direct patient care to shape the broader context in which care is designed and delivered—driving policy reforms, shaping care settings, and guiding system-wide improvements through collaboration and strategic thinking. The other options describe concrete activities or goals (delivering care, chasing market share, cutting costs) rather than the expansive, system-level influence that characterizes leadership in Vision 2025.
