Quality leadership: involving staff in continuous quality improvement.
Helen and I hope that you have gained a deeper insight into what it means to be a dynamic leader. We are convinced that leadership skills can be learned. Once learned, they must be operationalized in practice. Practice makes perfect, and the more you use leadership skills the more you master the art of leadership and become more of a craftsman reaping the benefits of intense learning and work. Leadership is a journey. It is a long and often painful one. But, it is the only safe road to travel in this turbulent time. You can become a dynamic leader. The articles in this issue are just an initial step to help you realize your leadership potential and direct you on the right road to fast becoming an effective leader. Helen and I, and her staff thank you for allowing us to share the dynamics of leadership. Hopefully, one day soon I can write a commentary on your success story. Please contact me with your stories so that we can learn through your particular experiences. I invite those interested in contributing to this column to contact me directly. Thank you, and may the road you travel always be the long hard road to success.
