These developments in the health system cause that the features of strategic leadership of managers should be reconsidered. Similarly, the impact of structural change is expected to be on the institutional environment. Performance-based employment of managers will be converted into the more complex environment of stable environmental conditions of the public health sector. Therefore, it is considered that managers, work in the health sector, use more the features of strategic leadership.
