Abstract

The subject of leadership is rarely addressed in the health care literature and the field is essentially silent to the need for leadership in long-term care. In this article, leadership is defined as the art of influencing and engaging colleagues to serve collaboratively toward a shared vision. The leadership model includes passion; commitment; vision; service; education; inclusion of staff patients, andfamilies; and self-knowledge.
