After a merger: the dilemma of the best leadership approach for nursing.
The following case study exemplifies for the nurse leader some of the difficulties involved in making a merger work and selecting the best options to sustain nursing services following the merger. Three nurse leaders look at the case study from a variety of viewpoints and suggest a range of responses that gives the reader an opportunity to consider a selection of insights that best address the issues presented in the case study. All of the respondents have been involved in complex mergers and bring a depth of experience to their review of the case.
