Abstract

It is known that leadership concepts and theories have been introduced to the literature by social sciences before the modern period. The lack of a leadership style within the context of the peculiarities of health services and post-modern period and the problems experienced in the management of health systems are the problems of our study. In the study, the literature is examined within the scope of health and health leadership concepts and the characteristics of the period which contains the effects of modern approaches on the health care market and management in health services. This study aims to explain the Post-modern Health Leadership model that health systems need and to bring it to the literature. To create the Post-modern Health Leadership model proposal, transformational leadership, effective strategic leadership, and charismatic leadership models’ characteristics were synthesized. The proposed model is located at the intersection of these leaderships and has all the features of the models. 

As a result, the health system needs to be innovative, flexible, predictable, capable of doing business, believe in the creativity of differences and should not be suppressed, advocating the idea of a pluralist and libertarian organization and leading oneself, patient and employees; focus on people and production, ensuring that services are provided within the framework of equity, effectiveness, efficiency and accessibility leader. Thus, it is thought that implementing all of these in a coordinated manner will empower the health system to succeed.
