Description

“This book claims to be ‘like no other and that is so true. The editors and authors each add quality guidance around distributed leadership to readers, providing evidence-based examples, useful websites and key reading material to support and supplement the ideas being presented.”
Bridie Kent, Professor in Leadership in Nursing, University of Plymouth, UK

“This book, thankfully, isnt about self-defined heroic organizational leaders or power-hungry political leaders – it tells the stories of the people doing leadership every day in their work to make healthcare happen.”
Scott Taylor, Business School Director of Admissions, University of Birmingham, UK

This innovative book brings together experts from health sciences, nursing, business and management backgrounds to provide a broad analysis of the growing field of distributed leadership.

•Synthesizes and explores recent developments in the leadership and distributed leadership research literature
•Supports research and theory with examples of cases of effective distributed leadership in clinical practice, service quality, patient safety, leadership development, general nursing, midwifery education, oncology services, intellectual disability, evidence-based practice and organizational change and development
•Provides an international focus, to encourage reflection on learning from experiences across Europe and beyond
