The author of this article provides a contextual overview of various, contemporary leadership

models, including their attributes. A thorough literature review revealed more than 130

definitions and interpretations of leadership. However, the author asserted that despite this

large number, minimal leadership models existed that promoted a strong leader/follower

relationship. In healthcare, especially the nonprofit sector, strong leader/follower

relationships promote and strengthen the organization’s mission. To fill this gap, the author

introduces the concept of personal investment (investation model of leadership) whereby a

2

leader invests their time, knowledge, and resources in someone who has shown potential as a

leader in the field. This is a helpful source for supporting a discussion on succession

planning, the application of contemporary leadership models into the culture of an

organization, and further research opportunities on leadership modeling.
