Nursing shared governance (SG) provides an opportunity for alignment between frontline team members and nursing leadership.

Results demonstrated that UPC leadership competencies can be improved through focused 1:1 leadership coaching by identifying a UPC area of opportunity and utilizing evidence-based tools and resources.
