The elements needed to create and preserve an effective coalition are leadership, membership, resources, and serendipity, which is the ability to grasp the moment.  The most important element is leadership.  Coalitions cannot succeed without excellent leadership.  Coalition leaders can be inspirational or organizational.  An inspiring leader will use his or her personal strengths to motivate and assist coalition members to make decisions.  This leader will encourage others to solve problems, take risks, and bring new ideas to the table.  An organizational leader will follow up with members in between meetings to keep the agenda moving forward and ensure communication among the members.  Often, both types of leaders are desired to serve the coalition but sometimes one person can serve in both roles (Bowers-Lanier, 2016).
                The elements for effective leadership in a coalition are applicable to both my personal and professional life.  In nursing, whether one is a formal or informal leader, staff will look towards and follow someone who motivates and inspires them.  A person with passion, integrity, and kindness can inspire a team to meet organization goals.  Nursing is hard work and teams need that person to look up to and trust.  Strong leadership that can keep front-line staff engaged can benefit any organization by creating a culture that recruits and maintains staff (Bradley et al., 2018).  In my personal life, I would like to think I am successful as a leader in both roles.  My young adult children see me working, going to school, and still managing my home.  I hope to be inspiring and motivating them to follow their own dreams, to do more, learn more, and be more.  That being said, it also takes good communication skills and every now and then, conflict management skill.  It all takes patience, commitment, and empathy.  I believe that a key strategy for success, as a leader at home or at work, is that everyone is on board with the goals.
