Working in healthcare can be a life-long career, where valuable relationships are forged and cherished. For this discussion, we will consider the question "Should leaders be friends with those they manage?"

Reflect on the following points to formulate your primary post for this week:

• Have you been friends with a superior outside of work? How did this impact your professional relationship? What is your overall opinion on superior/subordinate personal relationships?
• Place yourself in the role of an administrator. Do you view this concept differently in this role? Why or why not?
