Although leadership has been studied extensively, most research has focused on the political and military spheres. More recent work has also examined the role of leadership in sectors such as manufacturing and technology, both areas where it is essential to encourage and nurture innovation. Yet, in the health sector, where innovation is now high on the policy agenda in many countries, there is a paucity of research on how leadership can foster a culture of innovation. In this perspective, written for those seeking to foster innovation in the health sector, we offer a narrative synthesis approach of eight theories and concepts that have been empirically shown to support innovation through all phases of the innovation process.
虽然领导力已经被广泛研究，但大多数研究都集中在政治和军事领域。最近的工作还研究了领导力在制造业和技术等领域的作用，在这些领域，鼓励和培养创新至关重要。然而，在卫生部门，创新现在是许多国家政策议程的重点，但是关于领导力如何培养创新文化的研究却很少。在这篇针对那些寻求在卫生部门促进创新的人撰写的观点文章中，我们提供了一种叙述性综合方法，介绍了八个已通过创新过程所有阶段的实证研究证明能够支持创新的理论和概念。
