- Do you consider yourself to be a leader? Even if you aren’t officially designated as the leader of a group, it may turn out that you are considered to be a leader by the people you are in a group with. If you tend to find yourself in this position then you might want to explore the difference between being a formal leader vs. being an informal leader. You may also be interested in this information if you operate any sort of small business or team. That’s because knowing who your informal leaders are is just as important as knowing who you’ve assigned to a leadership role.

reassurance

successful strategies proven in industries outside of health care and adapting them to your organization's needs provides a greater possibility of long-term advantage. [1] The use of informal influence leaders represents one such strategy.
