[The administration of a clinical department]

The head of a clinical department, more than formerly, is a jack-of-all-trades: he leads his department, teaches, stimulates scientific research, arranges funding and administers clinical care. For the creative and renewing management nowadays required of him, he does not split off tasks, but he attempts to integrate them. Fritts' On leading a clinical department describes the position of today's manager, his style of leading and the various power strategies with which he can survive, for instance cooperative and delegating leadership.
