Being a part of the nursing professional we have the exciting opportunity to collaborate with so many other health care professionals. Specifically to health care, it takes a team to care for just one patient there collaborative leadership is extremely applicable. In all, I am extremely excited to have this opportunity to explore such a process with each of you!

Collaborative leadership is sharing the role of leader and bringing people with different education and experiences together to create a more enhanced leadership team that sees different perspectives and has different ideas.

Collaborative leadership is combining strengths of various different disciplines to reach a common goal. In a healthcare setting, it helps improves the quality of care patients receive. I believe interdisciplinary collaboration is key to not only quality care, but as a social system in general.

Collaborative leadership to me is when various professions within the healthcare system work together to help promote positive health outcomes for a patient. It involves each member having the ability to share and voice their opinions in an open and excepting environment.

To me collaborative leadership is where people from all fields of the healthcare system work together to achieve a common goal. It values the opinions and ideas of all members in the system. Also, With different skills from the different areas of health professions, together it will help to facilitate positive health outcomes for its clients.

Collaborative leadership is when people from all walks of life (professions, educational background, ethnicity, etc) come together for the greater good. These people choose to work with eachother in order to solve problems and improve their community. In this setting, there is no one leader, not one person is in charge. Everyone works together as equals and everyone has a chance to voice their opinions and concerns, without fear of rebuff.

I believe that collaborative leadership is an essential component of a successful interprofessional healthcare team. A collaborative leader encourages discussion and collaboration between all team members, and ensures that decision-making is a team process that is based on the knowledge and expertise of all team members (including the patient). Collaborative leadership is not based on a hierarchical structure, rather it is flexible, as every patient’s situation is unique and the team may require a different healthcare professional to lead based on his or her own area of expertise. I think that practicing collaborative leadership in a health care team would have a positive impact on both patient care, and team dynamics.

Collaborative leadership is working in a team where everyone is heard and respected. This form of leadership removes the hierarchical structure of an organization and values the role of each member of a team.

Collaborative leadership is a fancy term of co-existence. Each person becomes a leader in same or different field and has equal opportunity to share one's knowledge and opinion to others. Since each person can be a leader and a fellower, this can create in depth discussion more openly and freely. Of course, there is a side effect. Since everyone has equal rights to share one's opinion, it is difficult to determine what to prioritize.

But i believe that Health care environment can benefit from having a collaborative leadership in terms of creating in depth conversation among different field.

Collaborative leadership, to me, is working with different groups of people to achieve a common goal. In the health care setting, this would be health care providers from different professional backgrounds working together under a common understanding and leadership to achieve the best health outcome for the patient.

Collaborative Leadership is when a group of people from different fields and backgrounds come together to achieve a  common goal. In our case, that goal is excellent healthcare and meeting the needs of a patient who is very ill. There are times where each person in the group may need to be the "leader" and spearhead treatment in their respective field. With this in mind it is important to know when to step aside and let someone with more experience take the lead and listen and see how you can be of help.

Collaborative leadership is showing respect and openness to other health professions through communication in order to achieve the best patient care.Every field in the health care system has their own strengths and weaknesses. By cultivating an environment where collaborative leadership is practiced constantly, one field's strength can make up for another's weakness. In the end this will result in the ideal patient care that we all strive for.

Medical Laboratory Science Student,

Collaborative leadership is being able to bring various groups of people from different backgrounds together, in a constructive way. In health care, bringing different disciplines together is essential to bettering patient care. It is very easy to become immersed in ones specific field and forget that there are so many people working towards the same goal. Understanding each other will aid in growing and expanding out knowledge as healthcare professionals.

Medical Laboratory Science student. Collaborative leadership is when a group of people come together and benefit from one another as they share their individual strengths, ideas and knowledge. Cooperation is an important building block in making a functional team that aims to achieve the same goal and therefore, it is important to treat everyone's thoughts and values with respect. As mentioned by many other students in this board, collaborative leadership is essential in our field and it is something that we must put into practice in our everyday lives.

Collaborative leadership is accepting that other healthcare field exists and being open to working with one another.

With the knowledge of people from other field,  we can provide the best possible care and medical assistance that all patients deserve.

Collaborative Leadership in the Healthcare field is most important if you plan to move forward and evolve to meet the high demands of patient care and healthcare. With so many variables influencing the public perception of what health is and the misrepresentation of facts available on the internet and through social media the demand for leadership within the healthcare field extends from small communities to a larger world perspective. As a major in health sciences and a former health practitioner for 5+ years, what I have experienced as the contributing factor to all good decisions are based on the collaboration of knowledge and information from the point of view of inquiry rather than advocacy. If you are leading from a place of advocacy-meaning that you are advocating for the result you are invested in, you are looking at information from one perspective and with bias to your own directive. If you approach leadership collaboration from the perspective of inquiry you are using shared knowledge to make the best decision for all based on the amount of resources available to you. As a leader this is important as this allows team members to share knowledge while gaining new perspectives. In healthcare the trends are always changing, new information is becoming more readily available for the public everyday and the outdated trends on hierarchal systems are limiting the ability to communicate with each other. To move forward with the impeding change on the perspective of healthcare we must embrace the need for collaborative leadership, leading first from the heart asking ourselves the why of what we do. If we can do this, healthcare leaders will become better communicators and solutions can be found to benefit all affected by change.

Medical Radiography student. In my opinion collaborative leadership is an important aspect for healthcare members and the overall work environment. To make collaborative leadership work, it is essential to allow others to speak their mind and value their ideas. By doing so members will bring in different skills and expertise and in time will share control to reach their common goal.

That is why open communication and respect between team members allows for effective and efficient results.

Nursing Student. In my opinion collaborative leadership is essential to providing cohesive and appropriate care to clients. It involves different members of the health care team working towards a common goal by collaborating with one another. Each team members' role in valued and respected. In my experience, collaborative leadership seems to be lacking from a lot clinical sites. Unfortunately this seems to lead to conflicts and poor client care. I hope this module will help solidify my understanding of collaborative leadership and equip me to bring this practice into my clinical experience.

I believe collaborative leadership is an essential part of the health care environment, although it's not used enough. Collaborative leadership brings different health care professionals together to help create a common goal for each patient. Through this module I hope to learn, listen and be able to apply it to my clinical experience and my future career.

I believe collaborative leadership is important in creating better patient outcomes and satisfaction. As members of different healthcare professionals work together by bring their expertise from their respective fields it creates a environment where the patient and the healthcare workers can work towards a common goal together.

To me, collaborative leadership is an integrated group dynamic. As was previously mentioned, collaborative leadership is a group of multi-disciplinary people that work together to solve a goal. Each individual brings forth their expertise and can adopt a leadership role when their expertise is the most needed. It is a dynamic process that allows for open communication and requires respect.

I believe that Collaborative Leadership is an important aspect in the healthcare environment. Not only does it have a positive effect for the patient, but also for healthcare professionals themselves. Collaborative Leadership involves having more than one leader on a healthcare team. It involves having multiple team members that contribute to leadership, all providing their own area of expertise, working towards one common goal.

Collaborative Leadership is a leadership where not just one person is assigned to lead. It is based on individual's interests, expertise and skills. Collaborative leadership involves setting a goal and sharing responsibilities in order to achieve a positive outcome for that goal. I believe the most important part about collaborative leadership is that being a team member is most important than being a team leader.
