title: Doctor as professional and doctor as leader: same attributes, attitudes and values?
abstract: This article examines the links between medical professionalism and medical leadership and discusses how the values that are required to be a 'good doctor' are the same as a 'good leader'. The potential of this overlap to inform the debate on developing and assessing both medical leadership and professionalism is evaluated.
