Effective People

'In these pages you will find a rich mixture of the best in leadership and organisation development practice and theory based on a lifetime of studying and applying the principles of why some healthcare organisations succeed and why some fail.' This inspirational book analyses the attitudes and disciplines which make people and the organizations for which they work more effective more productive and generally more successful. The author who has experience of working in healthcare and manufacturing and with senior civil servants and is also familiar with key academic literature sets out a highly practical combination of practice theory and policy applicable in a wide variety of healthcare situations. Now revised including an entirely new chapter on being patient-focused this remains an invaluable resource for health service leaders and future leaders including managers clinicians policy makers and academics.
