A coalition is made up of a group of individuals that share a common interest or goal,
and willing to work together to achieve a mutual goal. That goal should be as broad as trying to
improve the overall quality of life for most people in the community. The American Society of
Superintendents of Training Schools was one of the first nursing coalitions that were formed in
the Unites States in 1893, now they are known as National League of Nurses (NLN). Internal and
external coalition functioning is an essential predictor of coalition success, which has been
linked to perceived coalition ability to support evidence-based programs, coalition effectiveness,
coalition sustainability and coalition goal achievement. This coalition consists of healthcare
organization, nursing educators, education agencies, and interested members of the public who
share the common goal of building a diverse and strong nursing workforce for promoting
excellence in nursing education. For an effective leadership team within a coalition, there are
many key elements are necessary including a strong relationship between the group and its
leaders, clear view of the goal, commitment, listening and understanding skills, organizational
skills, strong interpersonal skills, and leadership credibility within the group. Effective and good
communication is one of the most important skills to have in leadership roles (NLN, 2017).
