La leadership medica è, in Italia, ancora un campo poco esplorato. Benchè questo argomento rivesta una importanza sempre maggiore negli studi medici in tutto il mondo, il suo impatto negli studi accademici italiani è limitato al settore della assistenza infermieristica e solo pochi corsi universitari sono disponibili per coloro che volessero specializzarsi sull'argomento. Nella vastissima letteratura mondiale emerge che la leadership in medicina è equivalente al possesso di abilità legate alle soft skill; in Italia, invece, si tende ancora a favorire un punto di vista che lega la leadership a abilità tecniche. In questo lavoro proporremo di indirizzare il problema della leadership medica in modo più generale; infatti, la crescente complessità del lavoro direzionale in medicina pone nuove sfide alla professione medica, la quale richiede non solo il possesso di soft skill ma anche abilità nella implementazione di valori organizzativi, sociali e professionali che necessitano una maggiore consapevolezza morale basata sulla cosiddetta leadership trasformativa.
----------
Leadership in medicine is still an underexplored field in Italy; while this topic is of increasing global importance in healthcare, its impact in Italian academia is still limited to nursing and only few courses are available. Worldwide, leadership in healthcare is equate to possessing soft skills abilities; on the contrary, in Italy healthcare scholars still link leadership to technical abilities. In this paper, we will propose to address the problem of leadership in medicine more generally: the increasing complexity of management activites in healthcare poses new challenges to the medical profession, which actually requires not only possession of soft skills but also abilities in the implementation of organizational, societal and professional values which need a moral awareness based on transforming leadership.
