Abstract
This book has 20 chapters and is divided into three parts: Part one introduces clinical leaders as role models, part two describes the tools in clinical leadership and part three looks at issues with clinical leadership. The 5 chapters in part one of the book explore the different styles of leadership, followership and management. Traits attributed to effective leadership includes clinical competence, sound knowledge, effective communication, flexibility and being supportive. A new theory of congruent leadership where leaders have to match values and beliefs in their actions is discussed. Simply put, leaders have to walk the talk.
