8 Leadership Research in Healthcare

A critical account of the rise and spread of ‘leadership’: The case of UK healthcare

“…Reviewing this field, Gilmartin and D"Aunno (2007) draw attention to several distinctive aspects of healthcare delivery (e.g. the existence of "powerful professionals, especially physicians, who dominate many aspects of day-to-day work in healthcare," p.390)-distinctive features of healthcare which, they contend, add complexities to attempts to transfer leadership theories from elsewhere.…”

A Systematic Review of Physician Leadership and Emotional Intelligence

“…91 A fuller description of the curriculum and format for 1 such program is available from the Cleveland Clinic's Leading in Health Care course. 58,87,92 This cohort-based course enrolls 30 to 35 nominated emerging leaders yearly and provides a participatory curriculum in 10 oncemonthly sessions that address issues of institutional mission, vision, and values; finance and accounting; and organizational development (including EI with 360-degree feedback and executive coaching, team building, negotiation, conflict resolution, and situational leadership).

Transformation and Perception: How an Information System Project Can Be Carried out Successfully

Two lines of theoretical research determine the boundaries of the transformation without offering a specific reading grid of management for the first phase of organizational transformation.…”
