title: The nurse executive and interdisciplinary team building.
abstract: Team-building efforts of the nurse executive will raise nursing's status and strengthen nursing's image as a reliable, self-managed department able to make valuable contributions to health care delivery. Nurse administrators who assume the responsibility of building and maintaining productive interdisciplinary teams at the executive level will be rewarded with increased visibility, recognition, and power. Such opportunities for leadership should not be ignored or left to the purview of hospital administrators, physicians, or any other discipline.
