Leadership without bosses: shared leadership in the creation of a health network.
After province X's Minister of Health announced that health administration would be regionalized, administrators from two hospitals, a health unit and a nursing home planned a health network. In planning the network, the participants looked beyond their own facilities as being separately governed and separately funded organizations. This study investigates the exercise of shared leadership in order to increase the understanding of the nature of leadership and the meanings attributed to leadership activity by the various participants.
