Abstract
A competent healthcare simulation technology specialist (HSTS) exudes both managerial and leadership skills. Both are important to building a robust and high functioning simulation program. Techniques to evolve leadership effectiveness can be obtained in a formal educational environment and also through informal mechanisms. A future leader should further develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities through lifelong learning as it greatly improves the effectiveness of the HSTS to grow well beyond their initial desire and passion. In the end, leadership is a valuable skill that expands the effectiveness of the team and the simulation program.
