What Is Relational Leadership?
About Interprofessional Education
Interprofessional education occurs when two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. — World Health Organization (WHO, 2010).
About Relational Leadership
Relational Leadership (RL) is a human-centered approach to working with others that cultivates connection and awareness to increase belonging, collaboration, equity and impact across health systems. RL promotes psychological safety and helps people feel seen, heard and valued for their perspectives and contributions.

“Relational Leadership reflects my core values around connecting with others, seeking to understand, building shared experience, and overcoming loneliness and isolation. The Relational Leadership community offers an opportunity to collaborate with others who share the desire to work differently, integrating our whole selves into our work.”

“Being a part of the Relational Leadership community has been transformational for me, and my own leadership style has evolved because of my participation. This experience is honestly the closest that I have ever gotten to bringing my ‘whole self’ to a professional setting.”
Kimberley R. Nichols, MD, FASA
Senior Associate Dean for Medical Student Education
“This was probably the single most positive, energizing leadership development activity I’ve participated in at Carolina or elsewhere. The Relational Leadership message captures the essence of our strengths as a collegial, collaborative culture, and gives us language and tools to take our organization to the next level.”

“I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the opportunity to attend RLI. I think about it every single day. I recently finished a stretch on inpatient Solid Oncology, and I used the RLI strategies nearly every hour with patients, families, nurses, PT/OT, SW, and our team. It had immediate impact on the quality of care my patients received.”
