into an organization’s success. For example, as a hospital director for a high-risk, neonatal
unit, you may find that encouraging positive, professional relationships with subordinates

relationship in order to receive direction, goal achievement, and/or rewards. In the field of
health care administration, an emphasis on good, professional relationships may assist your
leadership success across diverse landscapes of health care administration problems.This
