Successful leaders are refined through contemporary education in the socio-administrative sciences. As with any changing discipline, a new approach to teaching and learning must be employed - one that embraces the skills of all health care team members and values entrepreneurial thinking and problem solving. This approach requires a new set of skills based on contemporary management principles, including followership, team building, tracking and assessing progress, storytelling and communication, financial analysis and cultivating innovation, all of which promote transformational change.
