Nursing Leadership & Management

Followership is an emerging concept and it is described as a set of skills and behaviors that help improve team performance. An effective leader creates vision, sets direction and enables a culture in which others can thrive and work together to deliver organizational goals. Like leadership, good followership is increasingly being recognized as an important component of high performance. (Whitlock 2013)

These organisations have their own missions & philosphy’s and valuses … their own culture and leaders and followers are part of this.
