Understanding the responsibility and concerns of healthcare is important in creating policies that leadership can use to streamline success. If strategic leadership is not realized over time, healthcare organizations' political influences may face challenges and create public disinterestedness in health policies. These issues create restrictions on the healthcare organization's ability to meet its financial budget, gain community's trust and involvement, and secure political influence(s). This negatively impacts the overall performance of the healthcare organization. The ideas of process innovation, risk taking, health building analysis, and governance greatly impacts "sense-making" for those being led. These ideas bring understanding to the role of governance in the organization.
