Going beyond “two-getherness”: Nurse managers’ experiences of working together in a leadership model where more than two share the same chair

Over the past decade, shared leadership between managers has attracted increasing attention in organisation and management research (Denis et al., 2012; Dust and Ziegert, 2015). It is a leadership model used also in different types of health care settings (Choi et al., 2012; Hodgson et al., 1965; Klinga et al., 2016; Steinert et al., 2006), including nurse managers in intensive care units (ICUs) (Rosengren and Bondas, 2010; Rosengren et al., 2010). Organisational changes and improvements in technology have brought about challenging demands on nurse managers.
