The role of a leader within any industry is to motivate, inspire and get everyone on board toward a common goal. One working definition of leadership that further helps to illustrate this concept is "the ability to influence others towards a common goal and shared vision" (MGMA-ACMPE, 2013, para 2). The biggest difference between a leader and a manager is that a manager generally manages tasks associated with a project or job and ensures that their staff is doing the same. A leader strives to lead by example and do the job he or she is asking their employees to do as well as exposes them to the "bigger picture" of how their work plays into the company's vision. The role of a leader in planning and preparing for the future of the health care industry would be to take these aspects of a leader and apply them to the vision of the future of the healthcare world overall. Leadership would need to consider ways to inspire continued quality, efficiency, and delivery of services as the healthcare industry continues to grow and change.
