Leadership is crucial for organizational success in the healthcare industry. Practitioners and researchers have noted how leadership can impact organizational profitability, team productivity, customer loyalty, and team productivity. They have also noted how, for employees, leadership affects performance, attitudes, and behaviors that are critical for success. However, research on leadership in healthcare is still lacking and several research gaps still need to be filled. The purpose of this issue is to bring together the state-of-the art research on leadership and to analyze its future directions for researchers and practitioners in the healthcare industry.
