Traits, attributes, and behaviors of a great healthcare leader

we discussed the topics of trait, behavioral, and contingency theories of leadership. In one organization that I worked, we lived by the mantra that “Good is the Enemy of Great.” In this paper, you need to identify the traits, attributes, and behaviors of a great healthcare leader. Essentially, you are identifying all the traits that the HR team should be looking for in a new CEO. Now you have to justify all the traits, attributes, and behaviors using established theories.

Make sure that you describe their attributes and behaviors in detail and justify their use through theory. What type of leadership styling would an effective leaders display (i.e. telling, selling, participating, delegating) and why? In order to get full credit, you will need weave theory in and out of your paper to support your findings. This paper cannot just be based solely on your opinion; it has to be supported using theory. You will have to justify their behaviors or attributes as being positive or negative through existing theory.
