Your Leadership Skills
NHS leadership – the context for 2019
As an NHS leader you are facing the most radical organisational changes in a generation. You are tasked with finding millions of pounds in savings while at the same maintaining quality of care. To survive the upheaval, you will need a clear vision, strategic planning skills and a way of implementing that strategy top-down. On top of this you will need to ensure that change is handled sensitively and diplomatically. By any standards, it’s a tall order. Leadership in the NHS is demanding at the best of times, but these exceptional times call for outstanding leadership. I believe that leadership should exist at all levels within the NHS and can be utilised without the luxury of a job title. Whether you are the CEO, a clinical director, a nurse, a non-medical manager or an F1, you are capable of positively influencing others – that is a bigger part of leadership than you may currently realise.
Leadership in the NHS
It’s been said that leaders are born and not made. Fortunately, this old cliché has long had its day. The fact is effective leadership depends on personal confidence and informed judgement – and in today’s troubled climate – a huge amount of empathy and compassion. Leadership comprises a set of skills, all of which can be learned. And as one the UK’s foremost leadership coach and trainer in an NHS setting, I’m here to help you master them.
