ABSTRACT
Introduction: Leadership exercised through a congruent organizational climate favors adequate and productive work environments, in pursuit of institutional purposes and goals; in the health sector, this purpose is evident when the organization places the human being at a superlative level. Objective: To analyze the relationship between leadership in health and business management. Materials and methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted in the PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases, using the Boolean operators AND and OR, with a search restricted to publications from the period 2004 to 2025, in English and Spanish, with information about leadership in health and business management. A total of 595 records were found, of which 50 were selected. Conclusion: Leadership and organizational management produce a synergy; this contributes to strengthening humanized care in health services and legitimately fosters the achievement of institutional goals. Adaptive processes in accordance with changing social realities in the management and handling of human resources in health should be pursued. The innovative nature of human-centered leadership and organizational management enables adaptations to social reality and a cohesion toward job and personal satisfaction among health system users.
