True leaders are secure enough with their abilities to help develop future leaders. This ultimately helps everyone to succeed and exceed goals. Leaders take safe risks Risk taking in medicine has a poor connotation, but can be healthy. In this arena leadership shines where management seeks safety.
Leaders are more willing to speak out in the heat of controversy.
Leaders dare to try new and innovative ideas. 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.
