ABSTRACT
Why should educational programs teach leadership, and why
should universities and colleges who offer allied health
care programs be concerned with training future clinicians
to be leaders? Leadership development is a topic wrought
with passion among business professionals and educators
alike. Leadership is something everybody needs and it
remains vague and ambiguous. Leadership is a mystical,
almost ethereal, quality that you cannot define, yet know
when you see. Advancing the allied health care professions
and the members of the allied health care community is
proving to be difficult without the necessary leadership
skills. |
