AB In  the  past,  physicians  were  assigned  leadership  roles  based  on  clinical  and  academic  accolades  rather  than  any  true  leadership  skills  they  might  possess.  These  leaders  often  worked  in  a  paternalistic  fashion,  with  a  steep  hierarchy.  Contemporary  leaders,  however,  need  to  be  more  collaborative,  team-oriented,  and  directionally  strategic.  They  should  be  active  listeners,  demonstrate  empathy  and  awareness,  have  a  commitment  to  the  organization,  and  exhibit  skills  in  the  areas  of  persuasion  and  foresight.1  Leaders  must  align  their  interests  with  their  organization's  mission  and  vision  while  keeping  the  big  picture  in  mind.  Communication  leading  to  team  building  is  essential.
