Healthcare institutions and providers are in complexity. Networks of interconnections from relationships and technology create conditions in which interdependencies and non-linear dynamics lead to surprising, unpredictable outcomes. Previous effective approaches to leadership, focusing on top-down bureaucratic methods, are no longer effective. Leading in complexity requires leaders to accept the complexity, create an adaptive space in which innovation and creativity can flourish and then integrate the successful practices that emerge into the formal organizational structure. Several methods for doing adaptive space work will be discussed. Readers will be able to contrast traditional leadership approaches with leading in complexity. They will learn new behaviours that are required of complexity leaders, along with challenges they will face, often from other leaders within the organization.
医疗机构和医疗服务提供者处于复杂的环境中。人际关系和技术形成的互联网络创造了这样的条件：相互依存和非线性动态导致令人惊讶、不可预测的结果。以往注重自上而下官僚方法的有效领导方式已不再有效。在复杂环境中进行领导要求领导者接受复杂性，创造一个能让创新和创造力蓬勃发展的适应性空间，然后将出现的成功实践融入正式的组织结构中。将讨论几种开展适应性空间工作的方法。读者将能够对比传统领导方式与在复杂环境中进行领导的方式。他们将学习复杂性领导者所需的新行为，以及他们通常会从组织内其他领导者那里面临的挑战。
