title: Executive leadership, community action, and the habits of health care politics.
abstract: Health care executives must lead the way to the comeback of "voluntarism" in their field. This will require having four key political habits: (1) acting out of a sense of civic responsibility, (2) avoiding the dangers of faction and "magic bullets", (3) building alliances by a process of conferring with other relevant leaders and groups, and (4) participating in community activism, i.e., acting on, not reacting to, local problems and pressures.
