As unit managers, you will collaborate closely with the medically responsible physician (MLA) and make operational decisions.
Working in shared leadership places high demands on trust, humility, and shared values.

Therefore, close and effective collaboration within the management team is essential.

Additionally, you have a genuine interest in people and are an engaged manager who wants to continue to profile the operations and develop it forward together with your fellow manager.
Shared leadership places high demands on trust, humility, and shared values. Transparency and close collaboration are therefore prerequisites for success.
