More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Never before has leadership been such an important lever for reform in health and healthcare. This important work provides a clear framework to understand healthcare leadership. It is also sensibly grounded in the complex adaptive system of delivering health and healthcare. This work is a refreshing departure from many other simplistic approaches which see leadership merely as a response to context rather than a complex dynamic process." --Dame Yve Buckland, Chair, NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement
"Hartley and Bennington's Leadership for healthcare offers a fresh and compelling approach to understanding leadership as part of a wider frame of organizational issues. Their six-part leadership framework provides a useful means to draw-down key lesson from the wider leadership literature into the healthcare setting". --John Storey, Professor of Management, The Open University Business School

Product Description
Writing, advice and training on leadership is growing at a vigorous rate with various frameworks now competing for attention. Having a clear sense of which leadership ideas and practices are rooted in sound theory and convincing evidence, and which are more speculative, is vital for healthcare leaders. This book provides a coherent set of six lenses through which to scrutinise the leadership literature relevant to healthcare - leadership concepts, characteristics, contexts, challenges, capabilities and consequences. It offers a view of leadership beyond the traditional focus on the individual, and argues instead that leadership has to be understood and developed as a complex set of practices by many people within specific organisational and inter-organisational contexts and cultures. This framework is particularly valuable in the highly dynamic and changing context of the public and voluntary sectors generally, and of the NHS and the field of healthcare specifically. "Leadership for Healthcare" will be useful not only to those who have a formal or informal leadership position in a healthcare organization, but also to those in government, education, housing, leisure services, the police, fire services and the voluntary sector.

Format:Paperback
I paid for this book out of my own pocket as my University wouldn't (boo!) but I have to say it is invaluable as a guide for students of health care leadership, and I am referring to it extensively in a module I am writing. Well laid out and focusing on both traditional views of leadership as well as the context of the NHS.
