Leadership has a renewed focus in healthcare, and physicians are being increasingly involved in a range of leadership roles. The aim of this paper is to discuss several dualities that exert tensions at the systems and individual levels. Although oppositional, the common dualities of physician leadership are not mutually exclusive but represent a complex, dynamic and interdependent relationship, often coexisting with each other and exerting tensions in multiple dimensions. The authors contend that a dialectic understanding -instead of either/or or finding a middle ground -of the opposite poles of these dualities allows for generating meaningful leadership perspectives and choices. RésuméLe leadership est au centre de l' attention dans les services de santé et les médecins s'impliquent de plus en plus dans une vaste gamme de rôles liés au leadership. L' objectif de cet article est d' aborder diverses dualités qui exercent des tensions aux niveaux des systèmes et des personnes. Bien qu' elles soient opposées, les dualités habituelles du leadership des médecins ne s' excluent pas l'une l' autre, mais représentent plutôt une relation d'interdépendance complexe et dynamique; elles coïncident souvent l'une avec l' autre et exercent des tensions sous plusieurs dimensions. Les auteurs affirment qu'une compréhension dialectique des pôles qui s' opposent dans ces dualités -plutôt que de choisir un des deux ou de trouver le juste milieu -permet d' obtenir un point de vue appréciable sur le leadership ainsi que sur les choix présents.
