Ask any hospital CEO to make a list of his/her biggest challenges in leading a hospital, and somewhere high on that list will be keeping "operations" distinct from "governance." The two concepts are critically related, of course, and one must support the other if the hospital or healthcare facility is to thrive. But at the same time, these concepts are quite different.
Explain in your own words what is meant by "operational leadership" in medicine and how it is different from "strategic leadership" (governance). Provide at least one good example of how each impacts a healthcare organization.
