The Janus principle.
The leaders who guide health organizations into formal and informal alliances must serve their own organizations while meeting the demands of a larger environment. Those who recognize the need for change in leadership style are most likely to help their organizations to maintain their strengths within new structures. The authors examine several theories of leadership style, describe the developmental stages involved in forming an inter-institutional organization, and discuss the new leadership tasks and skills that collaboration mandates.
