AB As the field of nuclear medicine continues to evolve, a need for new leaders will emerge and leadership development will become critical. “Authentic leadership” is an emerging leadership style rooted in humanism that can be used in conjunction with other leadership styles. Authentic leadership has positive implications for health-care settings, including improved patient care, job satisfaction, motivation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. This article reviews the philosophic foundations of authentic leadership theory and key characteristics of an authentic leader in the context of nuclear medicine.
