Abstract
Clinician leadership is important
for quality healthcare delivery,
but does it collide with the image
of a healer? This study explores
different leadership styles
of doctors and contextual factors
causing it in a corporate,
private hospital in South India.
Managerial Grid questionnaire
and Semi-structured interviews
are used to elicit data. Thematic
Analysis is used to interpret
Semi-structured interview data.
It is found that a few position
holders are exhibiting appropriate
style while most of them are
exhibiting styles that are incompatible
with their job description.
The deterrents identified in
the study prevent the healer to
become a leader. At the same
time, these deterrents also prevent
the healers to reconcile with
the growing importance of clinical
leadership.
