    Introduction
    “Healthcare personnel comprise one of the largest labor forces in the United States” (Niles, 2018, p. 184). This assessment will examine a variety of health care related professions, as well as leadership skills and approaches. Management opportunities in the health care system are extensive and constantly expanding as the industry grows and transforms.
    As a leader in health care, you may be interacting with or leading individuals in many different positions. It is vital that you understand the current overall breakdown of the health care delivery system workforce, and stay current with the many new positions emerging as our technology advances, and our system transforms. We do not have a clear picture of exactly where we are headed in service delivery and advanced technology, the resulting inevitable shifts in existing professional careers, and the array of brand new management career options that may present themselves. Although fundamental leadership skills and approaches remain constant, they may need to be applied in innovative ways to effectively lead staff and organizations of the future.
