This study investigated the experience and attitudes of healthcare professionals in the United Arab Emirates regarding the impact of effective leadership on healthcare organizations. The results indicated a need for further investigation into which leadership behaviors and competencies are crucial in healthcare contexts to allow for more targeted training and interventions. Additionally, longitudinal research is necessary to determine whether leadership development programs have a sustained effect on care quality and patient outcomes.
