Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Physicians are frequently called upon to take on leadership roles. These roles can come in various forms, ranging from academic leadership roles (eg, division or department chief or chair) to educational leadership roles (eg, clerkship or residency program director) to leadership roles in a practice setting (eg, director of a practice group). Although some of the desired skills and competencies for the leader may be specific to particular roles and responsibilities, others are more generic and applicable to any of these leadership positions. This chapter concentrates initially on the generic aspects of leadership and concludes by discussing some of the challenges that are more specific to hospitalists and to the hospital environment. In addition, instead of trying to review the voluminous leadership literature, presented here will be a personal perspective, based upon experiences in a variety of leadership positions over many years. Discussion of leadership will be divided into four primary components: the personal attributes that a leader should demonstrate, the skills that should be acquired, a suggested approach to reach a goal, and leadership challenges for hospitalists in the hospital environment.
