Abstract: | The impersonal approach to health care leadership is over. Specialization, hierarchies, and impersonal decisions have led the public to distrust health care organizations. The charges of unnecessary cardiac surgery and abuses led the public to question our integrity. Annison and Wilford (1998) note that the character of a person and the character of an organization lead one to trust or distrust. They note that openness is one of the most important characteristics upon which we judge the character of a person or an organization. As the operating framework of partnerships and transparency becomes one that our staff and patients expect, our ability to handle openness will be an important way in which we are judged. |
