Leadership is a word often heard in any workplace, and healthcare services are no different. Much has been written about leadership styles and theories, with a search of one online retailer revealing 153,589 books available on the subject. How many midwives have those books on their shelves? In a time when maternity services are rising to meet new pressures and demands, many commentators are calling for leadership to drive the profession on. How do we, as midwives, reflect on our own leadership style and the impact it has on others? Here we discuss the importance of leadership in midwifery as a profession, and to individuals, regardless of grade or position. We use an example of a project within our service to illustrate the opportunities for leadership to flourish throughout a whole team in order to achieve an end goal.
领导力是在任何工作场所都经常听到的一个词，医疗保健服务领域也不例外。关于领导风格和理论已经有很多著述，在一家在线零售商上搜索一下就会发现有153,589本关于这个主题的书籍。有多少助产士的书架上有这些书呢？在产科服务不断发展以应对新压力和新需求的时代，许多评论家呼吁发挥领导力来推动这个职业的发展。作为助产士，我们该如何反思自己的领导风格及其对他人的影响呢？在这里，我们将讨论领导力在助产士职业以及对个人的重要性，无论其级别或职位如何。我们以我们服务中的一个项目为例，来说明在整个团队中发挥领导力以实现最终目标的机会。
