As CEO of Trusts in Blackpool and Leeds, he put this focus on staff engagement into practice to great success. Julian then introduced lean methods that flourished in the culture he had created, and when external factors such as COVID-19 began to erode that culture, returned to refresh that underpinning shared purpose.</p><p><strong>Reflection: </strong>Julian has developed a toolkit of behaviours and approaches, refined through experience and reflection, to help him elucidate and bring to life both the values and goals of the workforce. Because he shares these values, he has been able to lead with authenticity, creating engaged workforces, empowered to drive continuous improvement. We can reflect on Julian's approach as leaders ourselves: how can we align the values and visions of our staff, and ensure they are empowered to realise both?</p>","PeriodicalId":36677,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Leader","volume":" ","pages":"269-273"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139716485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the traditional role-based leadership approach may hinder IPC. Instead, physicians should also take followership roles, allowing other healthcare team members (OHCTMs) to lead when they have expertise and/or experience. Understanding of leadership and followership within IPC remains limited in primary care for patients with chronic illness. Hence, this review aims to explore the definitions and conceptualisations of leadership and followership and to map relevant training in this context.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews, an electronic search was conducted across PubMed, Embase and Web of Science.

Only two articles defined leadership approaches, and none explicitly addressed followership. Nevertheless, our analysis identified leadership shifts from physicians to OHCTMs, and vice versa for followership, driven by complexity of care, physician shortages and healthcare costs. Enablers of these shifts included physician trusting OHCTMs, collaborative practice agreements and physicians' interprofessional experience. Barriers included traditional hierarchies, OHCTMs' lack of competence and physicians' lack of IPC experience.

However, most of the quantitative reviews have focused on the extent of the pandemic's impact on the HCWs and have thus failed to fully capture the HCWs' experiences and the complexity of the problems they encountered. Therefore, this qualitative systematic review elucidates the HCWs' challenges brought about by the pandemic, their perceptions of the existing support and the support that require further attention.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The literature search spanned five databases: Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL and PsycInfo, targeting qualitative studies of HCWs' pandemic experiences from December 2019 to December 2023.
