Abstract
Effective leadership requires understanding and operating within 3 intersecting “circles”: (1) sharing a vision and goals, (2) adapting to context or situation, and (3) gaining willing followers. These 3 characteristics distinguish leadership from management, although leadership also often involves some managerial functions. To be successful, the leader needs to be attentive, self-aware, resilient, proactive, and have a clear sense of when to lead and when to manage. Especially important for the leader in a medical faculty environment is the ability to adapt to new situations and contexts.
