Styles of clinical leadership

Possibilities and pitfalls for clinical leadership in improving service quality, innovation and productivity
Open University, January 2013
  • Four types of clinical leadership were identified
    •  the relatively passive; 
    • those who utilised effective interpersonal and planning skills to achieve localised and rather incremental service improvements; 
    • those who brought passion and vision to bear and rushed ahead but who lacked followers; and 
    • high impact leaders who brought both an appropriate scale of ambition and a set of micro-political capabilities to bear so as to achieve significant cross boundary service redesign.
