Leatt and Porter present an excellent and timely review of the current leadership challenge in the field of healthcare administration. Their case is assembled through a review of relevant management literature and an adept summarization of current thinking and contemporary needs in the leadership zone of healthcare organizations. This commentator views the authors' thesis through the filters of a 30-year career as a healthcare administration practitioner and educator, the last 20 of which have been as a chief executive officer and concurrent professorial appointee at four universities in the United States. A leadership development paradigm at the UAB Health System is used to demonstrate an application of the lead authors' proposed, career-long development process encompassing graduate, postgraduate, mid-career and senior-executive levels.
利特和波特对医疗管理领域当前的领导力挑战进行了出色且及时的综述。他们通过回顾相关管理文献以及巧妙总结医疗组织领导力领域的当前思潮和当代需求来构建自己的观点。这位评论者以其30年作为医疗管理从业者和教育者的职业生涯为视角来审视作者的论点，其中最近20年担任美国四所大学的首席执行官并兼任教授职位。阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校医疗系统的领导力发展范式被用来展示主要作者所提议的贯穿研究生、研究生后、职业生涯中期和高级管理人员阶段的终身职业发展过程的应用。
