A study by Mah’d Alloubani, Almatari & Almukhtar, (2014) examines the impacts of leadership strategies on healthcare services’ quality. Leaders of hospitals must react to emerging institutional goals, emerging technology, and new obstacles.

The main objective of the research is to investigate the type of leadership for hospital managers aiming to assess their perceptions of the most important training courses, skills, and roles as managers in the healthcare settings. It also intends to discover the problems, obstacles, and challenges facing these leaders (Mah’d Alloubani, Almatari & Almukhtar, 2014). The findings of the study highlighted that transformational leadership behaviours and attributes were positively associated with institutional outcomes such as extra efforts, commitment, staff satisfaction, effectiveness, and teamwork success. Furthermore, it promotes work-related values and affects followers’ self-efficiencies. The study concluded that effective leadership in healthcare settings is one of the essential aspects that transform the institution towards the achievements. Currently, the major challenge for contemporary firms is to identify the impacts of robust leadership upon the nursing success and performance of the organization (Mah’d Alloubani, Almatari & Almukhtar, 2014).

The article by Budak & Kar, (2014) attempted to determine the significance of strategic leadership in the management of healthcare. Since healthcare sector is a complicated structure, it is essential to develop leadership that will guarantee external and internal customer satisfaction, quality, and patients’ rights. The main objective of the research is to determine the need for health organizations to be headed by administrators having strategic governance qualifications (Budak & Kar, 2014). The methodology of the study involved the use of literature review by examining scientific works linked to the issue. The findings of the study highlighted the importance of a leader as opposed to a manager in healthcare. In addition, the main role of a strategic leader is to formulate strategies aiming to meet the fundamental goals of the organization. Therefore, strategic leadership is necessary for healthcare settings because it helps to cope with constant, complicated, and quick changes and challenges in the health sector. Such leaders in health care comprehend the type of external environment; can develop effective approaches, which can handle with variations. Strategic leaders also create flexibility, vision, and divination in the process of management. Finally, it facilitates making viable and efficient decisions that play a major part in the achievement of objectives (Budak & Kar, 2014). Strategic leaders collaborate with others to introduce changes, which will offer a feasible future for the firm.
