TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 18. Senior Leaders and Teamwork in Their Organizations A1 - Mosser, Gordon A1 - Begun, James W. PY - 2014 T2 - Understanding Teamwork in Health Care AB - Section III (Chapter 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17) presents ideas for improving teams and teamwork. It assumes that teams are present and regarded as standard practice in organizations. In many organizations, however, this is not the caseā€”in fact, organizational policies and practices often work against rather than promote the success of teamwork. Senior leaders of these organizations are responsible for creating the cultures and structures in which teams thrive and also for providing needed resources for teams to succeed. In this section of the book, we first (in Chapter 18) provide guidelines for senior leaders committed to improving team presence and performance in their organizations. Then in Chapter 19 we discuss the potential for a future in which teamwork is expected and rewarded throughout the healthcare sector.
