Learn MoreMerriam Webster defines teamwork as “work done by several associates with each doing a part but all subordinating personal prominence to the efficiency of the whole.” There is a general consensus in the research literature that a team consists of two or more individuals, who have specific roles, perform interdependent tasks, are adaptable, and share a common goal, according to Health Service Research. So by these definitions, all healthcare is teamwork—a multidisciplinary effort in which health professionals from different specialties must work together to provide excellent patient care.
Healthcare is becoming more complex and specialized, with increased demand for complex health services and fast adoption of new methods. Also, patients are older, usually with more acute care needs when they arrive at the hospital and often have multiple diseases to manage. These trends have forced providers take a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare, including a greater need for effective, integrative teams.
This is a positive trend because it:
There is a very large contrast between leading and managing. When you think of some of the best leaders you know, probably many, if not all, of these traits are present.
These are the traits of great team leaders:
Leadership transforms the environment for all and stands in stark contrast to management. While there is some functional cross-over between leading and managing, the task of managing looks very different than leading.
Typically, you are managing when you:
More so than managers, leaders are energized not just by the goals of the team or organization but by transforming and leading individuals to be leaders themselves. These people don’t just take responsibility for tasks that must be performed but for revitalizing an organization. They define the need for change, they create new visions and they ultimately do transform the organization.
When highly effective leaders can create equally effective teams, these are the hallmark habits of the teams, according to Bernard Bass in Transformational Leadership (2006).
When these items are missing, teams don’t function and quality suffers:
Just like the qualities of good teams, anytime we reflect on the best leaders we have known, several trends emerge. First of all, transformational leaders behave in ways that result in their being role models for their followers. The leaders are admired, respected and trusted. It is difficult to be inspired by leaders that are untrustworthy, unethical or insincere.
Strong leadership habits encompass the following:
The best healthcare organizations will be the ones where leadership is valued, trained for and where the principles of strong teams and effective leaders will be disseminated widely at all levels. There are no shortcuts to great healthcare leadership, but the journey is worth it when your organization’s teams experience quality gains and increased morale and job satisfaction.
There are several options for the kind of training that is helpful in developing nurse leaders. The approaches can be combined to create ongoing opportunities that grow with the individual.
