The Quality Improvement Journey

Why leadership and teams is important

How we lead teams and how they cooperate will affect how effective and sustainable they are at quality improvement work. Teams should have opportunities to trust each other, come up with new ideas, and solve problems together.

This collaborative approach also involves working with people who use your service. It's essential for any team or organisation working with today’s complex improvement challenges. These skills are important all along the improvement journey.
