Final thoughts

Trust me – I’m a leader

NHS can no longer rely on lone, heroic leaders. Instead, the health service needs to build an environment where leadership is collaborative, talent is pooled and no one’s voice goes unheard (Dr Gerada).

History gives us many leaders. However, what sets apart the great leaders from the notorious is personal qualities – integrity, honesty, openness – ethics, and the value placed on working with others. Building and maintaining relationships, developing networks, encouraging others’ contribution and adopting a team approach, are vital to great leadership. If you use these skills, you gain followers through trust rather than fear (Jan Sobieraj, managing director of the NHS Leadership Academy)
