Leadership is a key factor for quality work and targeted nursing action in the Intensive Care Unit. It is necessary for the leader to gather technical and relational skills and abilities so that his work has higher quality. Objective: Identify how nurses lead in intensive care units according to the literature. Materials and Methods: This is an integrative literature review to identify the leadership profile of nurses in an intensive care unit. The studies included in the sample were those published between January 2018 and August 2022, indexed in PubMed, VHL and LILACS, which answered the guiding question. Results and Conclusions: Critically and reflectively, each of the studies contributes in a different way to the process of building and reinforcing the leadership of nurses in an Intensive Care Unit environment. Aspects such as active leadership, the organization of processes, the specialty for patients with high complexity and the harmonization of the ICU environment are among the points observed by the authors. The study makes it possible to think that active leadership promotes continuity, order, reliability, safety, as well as being able to bring focus to multiprofessional, interdisciplinary actions and focus on quality of care in the intensive care unit.
