AB  - The purpose of this article was to provide a practical approach to leadership for medical laboratory professionals. From the leadership approaches and theories found in the literature, five were reviewed and presented, including 1) trait approach, 2) servant-leadership, 3) transactional approach, 4) transformational approach, and 5) team leadership, to provide a better understanding of leadership studies. Personal leadership development strategies for medical laboratory professionals, including professional leadership programs/workshops, academic courses, personal growth and research, and assessment of leadership abilities, are discussed.
