Abstract
Shared leadership, where influence is distributed among health professionals, is considered essential for the complex challenges facing healthcare. In this chapter, the concept of shared leadership related to interprofessional practice is discussed. We describe the different types of leaders within healthcare and what team processes support developing shared leadership. In addition, we present the evidence supporting shared leadership and how shared leadership can be measured with social network analysis. We then discuss the implications of these concepts for interprofessional practice and educating health professionals. We conclude with some specific recommendations for training students in shared leadership and interprofessional practice.
