Shared governance. Unlike a more traditional hierarchal structure, the shared governance professional practice model emphasizes a collective responsibility, and as such it is conducive to the development of a coaching culture. At organizations with this type of structure, nurses have responsibility and accountability for nursing practice. Leaders and staff members work together to jointly create expectations, and feedback is provided through formal and informal peer review, much as the coach provides guidance when working with a staff nurse to further leadership development.Shared governance structures that bring together novice and expert nurses allow for the facilitation associated with coaching, enabling new nurses to learn to think through problems, develop innovative alternatives, and share in decision making. The inspiration that is a hallmark of coaching is evident when staff members are encouraged by managers and peers to accept the new challenges made available through this practice model, such as opportunities to serve on committees or as chairs.
