title: Pursuit and achievement of leadership: a view from the top.
abstract: There is no single formula for successful leadership or unique phenotype for successful leaders. There are, however, unifying principles and approaches that enhance the likelihood of success and fulfillment in leadership roles. Here we discuss the requirements for leadership positions in neurology and those personal qualities, management styles, priorities, and philosophical approaches that are likely to make individuals successful in such positions that serve to inform, mentor, and encourage the next generation of leaders in neurology.
