In 2009, The Joint Commission revised its leadership standards to reflect the need for a culture that supports quality performance. Leaders in accredited organizations are expected to “create and maintain a culture of safety and quality throughout the organization” (Schyve 2009, 20). Compliance with these standards requires leaders to
? demonstrate their commitment to quality,
? set quality expectations for those who work in the organization,
? evaluate the culture on a regular basis,
? encourage teamwork and create opportunities for this collaboration to flourish, and
? address disruptive behavior of people working at all levels of the organization.
