In order to attain the objective of the research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 people - executives, nurses and other medical staff who took part in humanitarian aid missions under the auspices of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). The research results highlight that among the basic needs of the healthcare providers during humanitarian aid missions, of mainly importance were the emotional needs for support and staying in touch with the own family. “Expression of leadership” comprises three characteristics/subcategories: eye level leadership, charismatic leadership and role model.
