The structural prerequisites for clinical leadership

Degeling, P. and Maxwell, S. (2002) The structural prerequisites for clinical leadership. Journal of Clinical Excellence, 4 (3), 289-293.

Abstract

Following a critical review of the conceptual foundations of current calls for leadership, this paper assesses the extent to which the preconditions for clinical leadership are evident in health settings. In detail, it examines how prevailing professional cultures may be affecting the followership of clinical leaders. It then assesses the extent to which existing health policies, structures and methods are aligned to structurally underpin the authority that leaders are meant to exercise.
