At Mayo Clinic, one’s leadership style is important to achieve desired results. Mayo leaders must inspire trust within and outside of the department by exemplifying the deeply rooted values of the institution and a genuine commitment to serving the common good. Effective Mayo Clinic leaders promote collegial dialogue, collaborative problem-solving and consensus-based decision-making to create and achieve shared goals and commitments.
