Shared Leadership Council
At Cedars-Sinai, we’ve elevated our Shared Leadership structure to ensure that nurses at all levels have a voice. Each month for a full day, clinical nurses and formal nurse leaders come together to discuss important issues that impact their clinical practice and the work environment.


Role Clarity
Understanding roles and accountabilities is essential to creating high-functioning teams and the future nurse leaders of tomorrow. We’ve equipped and empowered our nurses to partner with formal leaders in important decision-making—this builds trust.
