Abstract

Leadership in the operating room requires the ability to adopt different styles under specific circumstances. Transformational leadership grows the team. The style used to guide the team can vary; coercive, visionary, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and coaching are all important styles in team leadership. The ability to adapt to different needs in the operating room by using the appropriate style is leadership.
