Aim. This study aims to analyze the experiences of implementing the “distributed leadership” theory in health care institutions. Tasks. This study substantiates the impact of a leader’s creative potential on the effectiveness of management. This study also examines the theoretical approaches of “distributed leadership.” Lastly, the study looks to determine the peculiarities of the implementation of the “distributed leadership” model in the management of health care institutions. Methods. This study analyzes the successful international experiences implementing the “distributed leadership” model in health care organizations. Results. Our review of the successful international operations implementing the “distributed leadership” model in health care organizations indicates a positive effect on leadership and an increased effectiveness in a health care institution’s operations. The study also proved that the effectiveness of a health care institution increases with the implementation of the “distributed leadership” model, decentralization of management, and by attracting workers with creative potential who share common corporate values. Lastly, it was determined that the Russian health care system will require a new type of leader going forward to improve the country’s health care institutions. Conclusions.
