Abstract
The quality of leadership and management define
the difference between excellence and mediocrity
and success and failure for all organisations.
In my view good leaders inspire others and are able
to align them towards a common goal. Good
managers, on the other hand, simplify and
streamline the way organisations work to achieve the
organisational goals and maximise potential.
These two are quite different functions. Not all
leaders are good managers but most effective
managers are also good leaders.
In provider organisations the quality of clinical
leadership always underpins the difference between
exceptional and adequate clinical services which in
aggregate determine the overall effectiveness, safety
and reputation of every hospital. Similarly, effective
clinical leadership in commissioning organisations brings
perspective and challenge which in turn drives up
clinical quality for the whole health economy. So, good
clinical leadership is not an end in itself, it is a means to
achieving high performing healthcare systems.
