64 Conclusion
The following quote returns us to the learning objective of this chapter: learners will be able to recognize the value of shared decision-making and responsibilities while acknowledging team members’ expertise for achieving desired health outcomes.
“The beauty of collaborative leadership is that we can ask questions collectively, seek and receive feedback, and because of the breadth and depth of perspectives gained, the processes and outcomes are so much more than we could imagine individually. We can understand the why differently, learn new ways to take action, and find many more potential paths to what we need to do. Collaborative leadership lives within relational spaces and reminds us of our shared humanity, something which is as important as our autonomy and competency. Such leadership can then facilitate achieving shared purpose in these uncertain times – all in hopes of thriving peoples and a healthy planet.”
