Abstract
Healthcare systems around the globe face the common challenges of rising medical costs, lagging quality and limited access. Improving medical care worldwide will require new leadership and innovative solutions. This article sets forth a brave leadership strategy designed to help clinicians overcome their fears of change and embrace the best solutions for their patients. The A-G model presented in this article gives leaders a powerful tool to help achieve meaningful transformation within a healthcare organization by allowing them to articulate a bold vision, generate the trust of their colleagues and demonstrate the courage needed to overcome the inevitable resistance they will encounter.
