Leadership and Management -definitions • Leadership is showing the way-showing what to do next. Leadership is not dependent on role or seniority. • Management is the responsibility for the use of resources. Management is dependent on role and includes seniority.
Leadership and Management • Leaders lead people • Managers manage tasks
The Context • Since 1974, the NHS has undergone 11 major reorganisations (1 every 3 years) • The average career expectancy of a Chief Executive is currently 22 months • Leadership instability is not conducive to change, because it creates a ‘trust’ deficit • Local management in the NHS is often perceived by clinicians as politically rather than patient driven, a view reinforced through a centralist approach to achieving national targets
Being Spoilt for Choice for key roles and levels • Encouraging everyone to spot Talent • Encouraging more clinicians to become Leaders • Being Reflective of our Communities • Transparency around what is required to progress, and support to progress • Enabling all healthcare organisations to access the best Leaders • Being as focused on Leadership as on finances and clinical outcomes

Transition is the psychological process people go through to come to terms with new situations. Change is external, transition is internal. Bridges, W. (2003) Managing transitions: Making the most of change, 2nd ed London, Nicholas Brearley.
