Abstract:
As surgeons progress through their careers, they are often entrusted with leadership roles in administration, education, research, and patient management. Insights into one's own personality type and leadership style as well as an understanding of the value of emotional intelligence are critical for success. Knowledge of group dynamics and team leading; networking; techniques in leading, changing, and innovation; as well as proficiency in negotiation and conflict resolution are also essential to the development of leadership skills.
