Abstract:
The benefits of effective leadership in healthcare organizations are well documented. With the expansion of fertility care and the importance of the IVF laboratory in the industry, leadership in this unique setting is of paramount importance. However, the traditional pipeline for developing IVF laboratory personnel focuses primarily on technical skills, with little if any formal focus on leader development. Because of this, there are growing calls for key laboratory professionals to receive leadership training. To this end, an evidence-based Leader Development Model is presented and suggestions offered for the advancement of laboratory personnel that will aid in their growth as leaders, allowing them to become more effective in their roles as professionals in the field, yielding benefits for both their teams and the organizations they serve.
