Objectives: This presentation will explain what leadership is, why it is a concept every physician should know, and why it should be actively practised. Furthermore, a description of leadership theories from "Born to lead" to Transactional and Transformational Leadership to High Impact Leadership will be given and the impact of current developments and the increasing importance will be explained. Introduction: The medical world has changed drastically. Being a good doctor is no longer just about having excellent skills in your specialty. One must be a good listener, manager, marketer, consultant, employer, and more. Leadership skills, however, are not taught in medical school and are therefore neglected by many specialists. In turn, healthcare organisations are often led by economists.
