Midwifery Leadership

Abstract: This chapter identifies from leadership literature salient aspects of leadership perceived as useful for midwifery leadership development. It learns from corporate organisations and higher education institutions and compiles content to inform the development and exercise of midwifery leadership at all levels. It describes leadership strengths, resilience and versatility required to enable midwifery leaders to face the world in and outside of midwifery.
