Abstract
Effective leadership in the health-care setting is vital for delivering effective and efficient patient care while meeting organizational and departmental challenges. Hospitals face unique obstacles relating to regulation and accreditation, process inefficiencies, aging or difficult-to-treat patients, allocation of resources, and patient satisfaction. This article describes the characteristics of a leader, integrative leadership in the health-care setting, and ways to engage coworkers in solving complex health-care problems.
