Clinical Leaders: Heroes or Heretics?

This small handy volume is specifically written with information about the softer skills of leadership; it is not linked to any particular healthcare system or clinical discipline.

Clinical training and background are not synonymous with leadership. So where does a potential clinical leader turn to for advice? Focus on leadership as a means to influence healthcare culture is attracting attention internationally currently. There is a lack of published material aimed at clinical leadership and the time is ripe to channel and develop formal pathways to support this unmet need. There is an appetite for understanding what leadership involves and the book is aimed at that. It provides useful information presented in a highly readable style.

Readers will find the style a refreshing change from the usual academic material. Accounts of hands-on experience with non-pedantic pragmatic advice are reflected strongly in the book. It draws heavily on the concept that perceptions may not be shared. This may be the basis for fruitful communication and mutual understanding, if not necessarily agreement. Clinical leadership is an evolving discipline and seldom do current
