They are sure in their own minds of what will work, and aware of the risk involved in all decisions. Leaders do not risk the health or safety of staff or patients, or the career of others, but they are willing to take reasonable risks with their own careers. Leaders take responsibility True leaders in medicine take charge and responsibility for every facet of their operation. When things don't go so well, they take responsibility for the failure and vow to move forward despite the problems. Then, they get to work once again to make the practice's next project successful while learning from mistakes of the past.
Leaders move forward Leaders are always moving forward toward their objectives and goals.
The progress may be slowed at times and setbacks may occur, but the overall momentum is forward. Practices with true leaders in medicine are often first to try new policies, procedures, and technologies. They push to be the best they can be, with all the pride associated with being the best. Subordinates take their lead from their leader. They will emulate, consciously or subconsciously, the conduct and values that they see in their leaders.
