Description
Leadership for Healthcare provides a clear framework for understanding leadership concepts and practices in healthcare. This book offers six lenses to scrutinise the leadership literature, moving beyond the traditional focus on individual leaders to explore how leadership is developed as a complex set of practices within specific organisational and inter-organisational contexts. By examining leadership characteristics, challenges, capabilities, and consequences through these six lenses, readers can gain a deeper understanding of what effective healthcare leadership entails. This book argues that leadership is not solely the domain of individual leaders, but rather a collective effort involving many people working together within their organisational and inter-organisational contexts. With its coherent approach to leadership in healthcare, this book offers valuable insights for those seeking to develop their own leadership skills or understand the complexities of healthcare leadership.
