Improve workplace health through effective followership

Resilience is a challenge in the veterinary profession and dis­cussions are often philosophical in nature, but this presentation gives techniques to be used in the clinical setting to improve re­silience of the team and individuals. The key technique centers on demonstrating and developing effective followership. Effec­tive followership is the concept of providing respectful dissent, appropriate initiative and creative thinking in a team setting. And the presenter argues that if used by all members of a team, it will significantly improve resiliency.
