Abstract
I wish to comment on the article by Chervenak et al.1 dealing with ethics and power relationship of physician leaders in obstetrics and gynecology. The authors drew on three famous historic figures to elucidate the dimensions of authority and power, as well as of leadership systems within institutions, a project surely of interest to scientific readers. However, the authors did not address the following: 1) are ethics actually neglected in this professional society or its associated hierarchical system?; 2) what are the requirements and elements of professional ethics befitting such a professional society?; 3) how did they construct the system of ethics? Organizational culture could be one influencing factor, but a series of stepwise processes, such as organization policy, mission, vision, and value, and strategic planning, as well as leadership type and management way of doing things, could be the real factors that get things done.
