Abstract
This chapter explores the challenges of leadership which concern the principal purposes, goals or aims that leaders and leadership attempt to address. These challenges are crucial to leadership and it can be argued that ‘the primary task’ or public value goals of leadership are central to understanding leadership effectiveness, although not all leadership studies address this question of purpose. The interest in ‘new leadership’ (charismatic leadership, transformational leadership) brought the value of ‘vision’ back into leadership studies. In fact, the purposes of leadership often go beyond vision into the goals, values and aims of leadership. The complex context of healthcare makes this a particularly fertile site for the exploration and contestation of purposes by different stakeholders.
