Sharing leadership for diffusion of innovation in professionalized settings

Graeme Currie, Dimitrios Spyridonidis · 2018 · Human Relations

Managers initially champion and fund innovations, but doctors later take the lead in persuading peers, while nurses adapt innovations to local settings. Financial performance, whether nurses adopt hybrid roles, and organizational hierarchy all shape whether shared leadership succeeds in spreading innovations across the organization.
