Program Description:
Strong leadership is core to successful shared governance.  Effective leaders use the structure of shared governance to build a culture of excellence, where nurses have accountability and responsibility for nursing care. This workshop brings together individuals and teams with leadership roles in shared governance-from the chair of a unit council to the CNO of the organization--to focus on developing leadership skills and behaviors specific to leading in a shared governance environment.  Groups from the same organization will benefit from this interactive workshop to discover together what effective leadership involves and the impact it can have. Topics covered will include leadership characteristics and behaviors for effective shared decision making, vision setting, outcomes development, ensuring success and sustainability of a shared governance model, and critical skills to effectively build a team and run meetings.
