  • Title: Leadership: social identity and guiding from within.
    Author: Kerfoot KM.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 2007; 25(5):296-8. PubMed ID: 18080627.
    Abstract:
    An important field in leadership research is that of the social identity of the group and what that means for leadership. In health care, there are many different types of social identities that vary by hospital, geography, and profession. Leaders often sabotage their effectiveness when they do not consider the social values of the group. The work of leaders is to help move units and organizations to a higher level of performance. Identifying the social identity of the group is the first step. The most successful have expertise in assessing the social identity of groups and developing a commonality of a shared vision that represents the best work of the group and of the leader.
