| Shrnutí: | Effective healthcare leadership is essential to ensure high-quality patient care and foster a supportive work environment for healthcare professionals. This review aims to consolidate existing healthcare leadership literature to provide evidence-based insights that can guide leadership development, improve team performance, and enhance patient care outcomes. A systematic search of academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and Google Scholar was performed using keywords related to healthcare leadership. Studies were selected based on their relevance, peer-reviewed status, and focus on healthcare settings. Thematic analysis was employed to synthesize findings from the selected studies. The review explores various leadership theories, including Great Man, trait, behavioral, transactional, transformational, and contingency theories, highlighting their relevance and application in healthcare. Effective healthcare leaders must possess traits such as vision, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and ethical integrity to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare. The review categorizes different leadership styles, including authoritarian, transformational, transactional, servant, and participative, and discusses their application in specific healthcare contexts. Leaders face challenges such as balancing personal and professional responsibilities, adapting to technological advancements, managing financial constraints, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Healthcare leadership requires a dynamic and adaptable approach that integrates various leadership theories and styles to address the unique challenges of the healthcare environment. This review underscores the importance of leadership development programs and calls for further research to explore the practical implementation of leadership strategies in diverse healthcare settings. The findings provide actionable insights for healthcare leaders to tailor their leadership styles to the specific needs of their teams and organizational contexts, ultimately enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. |
