Study Leadership is not a new concept at all. The idea of leadership dated back to the primitive period when humans first formed small communities (Bass, 1990). The importance of leadership is out of debate, yet there remains a mystery about what leadership really is and how to conceptualize it. This elusive concept has received numerous definitions that are arbitrary, ambiguous and subjective (Bass and Bass, 2008). Bass (1990) noted, “there are almost as many different definitions of leadership as

• David John Stanley from the University of Western Australia argues that there is a strong link between clinical leadership and innovation in healthcare. He asserts that expert clinical staff are key to leading changes in practice amongst their colleagues and identify innovation that leads to improved quality of care. These clinical leaders are found at all levels within the organization and may or may not be identified formally as a leader. However, he argues that many managers, and senior leaders
To fully understand why clinical leadership is important it is of value to fully understand the term ‘clinical leadership’. What do the terms clinical and leadership mean? Who does this refer to? The term clinical is easy to define. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as “Relating to the observation and treatment of actual patients rather then theoretical or laboratory studies.” The term leadership however is more difficult to define and despite vast amounts of research, there is no consistent definition
Being a leader is about more than simply managing people. It is about leading a team and demonstrating to their employees through the leaders own actions and behaviors the expectations they have of their team. Eleven topics of leadership qualities, responsibilities, and styles will be discussed throughout this paper, and it will demonstrate how many of the concepts are intertwined and how they impact patients, staff, and organizations. For example, organizational climate and culture can significantly
After a review of Knowles five tenets the authors identify that the skills for success in higher education may not have the “interpersonal and adult relational skills” (p. 4) necessary to succeed in teaching adult education. The research question developed was “what
As the struggle ensues, help is forthcoming through the pronouncements of scholarly authors. This paper consist of a literature review purposed to examine the collective view points of seven scholarly articles, namely, As Diversity Grows, so Must We, by Howard, G.

studies, Nystrom (1993) investigating health care organizations, found that employees in strong cultures tend to express greater organizational commitment as well as higher job satisfaction. Despite these few studies, a void appears to exist in literature examining the direct link between organizational culture types and job satisfaction. As a matter of fact, if we look at IBM then every one at IBM is expected to follow three fundamental principles: respect individual, strive for excellence and provide
Although the conceptualizations of authentic leadership can be found many years ago in the literature, the authentic leadership theory is newly emerging and developing from multiple areas of leadership research, positive organization behavior and ethics (Avolio & Gardner, 2005; Northouse, 2013; Walumbwa et al., 2008). The demand for authentic and more accountable leaders may be due to the failure of the banking industry, corporate scandals (i.e. Enron and WorldCom) (Northouse, 2013) and ethical meltdown
