Complex adaptive systems are ones in which many different systems interact. In the health field, these systems are used as an adaptive process when learning new rules or behaviors to emphasize on the relationships of the agents involved (Butts & Rich, 2015). Continuous, consistent, and coordinated environments strengthens relationships among patient and staff (Geary & Schumacher, 2012). This process can be achieved by simple rules to improve functions within a system that shape the behavior of agents (Geary & Schumacher, 2014). Focusing on leadership complexity would be one way to improve staff safety. This style of complexity allows a person, known as a leader, to implement new rules, behaviors, or changes. The leader can be compared to a
