Since healthcare organisations face constant change, it is important for top-tier leaders to encourage subordinate leaders to develop different leadership styles to manage different situations. This requires adoption of the situation leadership approach, where effective leaders adapt their leadership style to manage particular situations. For Hospital's Leaders to help create and support effective teams, they must know what conditions encourage effective functioning of a particular type of team in a particular setting. For example, autonomy may improve outcomes for work teams but may limit project team productivity. Accordingly, we need to abandon the view of a generic team and move toward an understanding of how leaders create the appropriate environment for the range of team types needed to deliver good care.
