Abstract

Leadership training is an essential component of faculty development and resident training. Characteristics of leaders include growth mindset, curiosity, humility, selflessness, intrinsic motivation, hunger to achieve, insight, collaboration, harmony, introversion and analytical approach (inherited) and emotional intelligence, empathy, flexibility, adaptability, conflict management, resilience, interpersonal skills, and judgment (learned). Training for each of these characteristics will enhance the leadership abilities of the surgical department.
