How can collective leadership influence the implementation of change in health care?

Abstract

Aim

This study focuses on how a collective leadership style could influence the implementation of change in health care.

Methods

Kotter's 8-step process and leadership can guide the implementation of change. Collective leadership can highlight all levels of staff engagement, establish an organizational culture of learning and trust, and create continuous improvement. At the same time, it can formulate a well-designed plan; develop efficient strategies; communicate and empower the staff; assess the performance; and integrate the improvement.

Results

Collective leadership can establish vision and trust, highlight all levels of staff engagement, establish an organizational culture of learning and trust, create continuous improvement, communicate and empower the staff and integrate the improvement.

Conclusions

Collective leadership can be a powerful way to overcome the barrier and create an effective environment of adaptation of changes by analyzing Kotter's eight stage process.
