“…Our study was restricted to occupations of service in in extremis contexts-military, firefighters and law enforcement personnel. While this homogeneity helped the theoretical development of this exploratory research, it is not clear whether our data is representative of leaders in other in extremis environments like mountain climbers or sky diving teams; the culture of the occupation may play a role (Probert & Turnbull James, 2011).…”

When lives are at stake, astutely reading a situation (situation awareness) and belief in one's ability to manage it (self-efficacy) are crucial leadership skills. Fire fighters, law enforcement officers and military leaders routinely enter dangerous, in extremis, situations. Data from these environments is difficult to capture, so there is a gap in the literature looking at the distinctness of these professions. We report on a survey of 514 military, firefighting, and law enforcement leaders examining their experiences during in extremis conditions. This study examines the moderating effect of four human qualities identified in that study (self-esteem, self-sacrifice, mental flexibility and altruism) on situation awareness and self-efficacy as they relate to performance in life threatening situations. We theorize and show in our research that differing priorities among the organizational missions give rise to disparities among the groups. Instead of routinely looking at all in extremis occupations as one population with identical roles, research into these differences should be explored further. Results thus seem relevant to most organizations facing lifethreatening situations, and each distinct group may benefit from different criteria for hiring, recruiting and training of personnel. The results may also be of interest to individuals facing tense, ambiguous, albeit less acute, circumstances.

“…A change in cultures and structures would allow the creation of multiple leaders transcending professional boundaries. 10 Distributed leadership can act bottom-up and top-down and does not rely on fixed hierarchies. All clinicians and service users are empowered to show initiative and to collaborate, allowing progressive change through numerous small interactions that have accumulative effect rather relying on "heroic" leaps of leadership.…”

The author identifies some of the main theoretical constructs related to leadership; the pedagogical underpinning of medical leadership programs; their learning objectives; and the mixture of methods, individual and collective, to achieve them. INSIGHTS: How to best develop leadership through medical education remains an open debate. Experiential learning, reflective practice, action learning, and mentoring could provide the foundations of leadership development. Application of the aforementioned should be cautious due to limitations of the concept of leadership as currently promoted and lack of robust evaluation methodologies.

“…Therefore leadership becomes critically important, as great leaders are the basis of all human achievements. This is indicated by a large number of theoretical and empirical studies on the issue of leadership during the crisis period (Wooten & James, 2008;Heifetz, et al, 2009;Wang, et al, 2009;Probert & James, 2011;Mabey & Morrell, 2011;McCarthy, 2014, et al).…”
