The leadership in the healthcare sector is one of the most important for successful management, which can deliver a good health care services. The leadership must include the right skills, behaviors as well as future perspectives. It is an essential role in the health care environment. Their main role is to influence change through different leadership styles. It has been a good topic to research since the different styles result in different outcomes. There is a wide range of theory behind the topic and different aspects of how to become an effective leader, which can contribute to better management of the healthcare sector.
The leadership impacts the functioning of the sector and it can lead to success or failure. It can improve the quality in the sector as well as impact the organizational behavior. The topic is important to examine since various different views and theories about the leadership in health care exists and can cause confusion. The importance of leaders is one of the main reasons to research the topic, since they can have the greatest impact on the healthcare governance and can transform the health services (Jasper and Jumaa, n. p.). The topic would be good to examine based on practical cases and different theories since there exists a gap between the theory and empirical data and evidence. It is important to define the needed competencies in order for the leaders in the sector to lead in the best way possible. The healthcare leaders are involved in the constant changing complex environment with changing health care goals. The review of the literature shows that the topic has been researched in a descriptive way with the focus on the perspective behaviors, qualities and skills and lacks the holistic approach and framework, which is one of the most important things for orientation, reflections and practices which should involve different characteristics of leaders based on the challenges they face and their capabilities inside the context and also consequences their actions have for the overall healthcare (Larson and Vance, 165-171).
