Narratives of Actionable Medical Leadership From Senior Leaders for Aspiring Leaders in Academic Medicine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physicians understand that certain personal attributes are essential in medical leaders, but they often do not know what actions are expected of them as leaders or what they should do to be more effective leaders.

Purpose

We sought to compile, through interviews with senior leaders at an academic institution, real leadership scenarios for a series of case-based examples to be used during group mentoring sessions for aspiring medical leaders.

Methods

We conducted one-to-one interviews using open-ended questions with 11 current and emeritus chairpersons or chiefs of major departments or divisions at our academic medical center. Questions were designed to elicit anecdotes and examples of actions that demonstrate effective and ineffective leadership. Responses
