Abstract
Background
There have been calls for the development of leadership attributes in healthcare practitioners through leadership development programs. However, understanding how leadership is conceptualized is needed to assure effective participant-centred leadership development programs. The purpose of this study was to elucidate how the construct of leadership is conceptualized by multiple stakeholder groups associated with medical school leadership programs.
Methods
We conducted a total of 77 semi-structured interviews with six major demographic groups: Trainees (n= 16), Mid-Level University Leaders (n= 10), Clinician Leaders (n= 17), Senior University Leaders (n= 10), Medical Scientists (n= 12), and Senior Leaders, external to the University (n= 12) to address the research question.
Results
Content analyses revealed that the leaders were expected to create a compelling vision and a foster a motivating culture within the organization. Integrity and a sense of passion about leading were viewed as being principal characteristics of a leader. The twin skills of technical competence and communication were endorsed as most important for a leader. Finally, leaders are expected to be accountable for outcomes.
Conclusion
Medical school leadership training programs should strive to incorporate these characteristics, given their broad appeal to diverse interest groups.
