Abstract
Leadership is a universal phenomenon;2 however, how it is practised varies around the world. Leadership in health care is widely recognized as a requirement of professionals working in evolving and complex health care systems so that they can make sustainable changes and provide effective and efficient care.3 We know that in physiotherapy (PT), leadership is necessary to respond to emerging health care trends and increase the profile of the profession,1 but questions remain about how socio-cultural factors influence the enactment of leadership in PT around the world. Exploring cross-cultural perceptions of leadership is a necessary first step in facilitating global collaboration and educational initiatives that target the development of leadership skills in the profession. I commend McGowan and colleagues1 for their study, which is the first to examine cultural comparisons of leadership in the field of PT. Gaining an international view of leadership has significant implications for physiotherapists across health care systems, both here in Canada and around the world.
