National leadership in healthcare: the role of the hospital CEO.
For CEOs, leadership may be exercised in three contexts. However, only two avenues to practice leadership are open to most CEOs: leadership in the CEO's organization and participation as a member of a leadership group. Managers who are successful while functioning as a part of the leadership group generally are those who perform as "transforming" leaders in their own organizations. Transforming leaders hold to strong values and set about to practice them. They do it best when they do for others before doing for themselves. Such behavior draws followers, which in turn confers leadership status on a manager.
