[[Neurosurgeon]]s may have multiple [[role]]s including [[clinician]], [[educator]], [[researcher]], and [[administrator]]. [[Leader]]s in neurosurgery have the added responsibilities of setting a [[vision]], communicating the vision, implementing a [[plan]] to achieve it, and gaining [[commitment]] from the [[team]] and other [[stakeholder]]s. For success in the current era of U.S. health care, neurosurgical [[leader]]s must deliver despite challenges such as reduced [[resource]]s, increased protocolized [[care]], [[automation]], and [[depersonalization]]. 
Neal and Lyons described five empowering strategies that can help [[leader]]s perform best. The steps include deepening self-awareness, leading with [[honesty]], developing [[emotional intelligence]], improving [[coaching]] [[skill]]s, and becoming a better [[influencer]]. [[Leader]]s that take these steps to invest in their leadership skills will reap broad [[benefit]]s
