Leadership Theories and Healthcare: An Overview
Keywords:

Abstract
Leadership research is a buzzing, dynamic, and perpetually evolving area, with leadership having a plethora of different interpretations. Over time, leadership study and practice has moved from a predominantly vertical, top-down paradigm to one which is more horizontal and side-to-side. This paper briefly explores the different mainstream theories of leadership, with a focus on healthcare and public health. Greater penetration of evidence-based, transformational leadership approaches remains important in healthcare.
