To do their duties, they must promote the growth of mindset, adhere to a code of ethics, be open, transparent, and honest in their interactions, be genuine, and instill a work culture of personal growth, clarity, accountability, and innovation. Authentic leadership and mindfulness practices if combined together create nurse managers who have clearer, more focused thinking, and a growth mindset that helps subordinates improve and grow. Aim: The present study aims to; assess authentic leadership, mindfulness, and managerial competencies levels among nurse managers in hospital. Subjects and Method: Design: a descriptive design was used. Settings: the study conducted at Shirbeen Hospital. Subjects: consisted of 70 nurse managers and 226 nurses.
