Leadership for Healthcare

The number of books published on leadership has exploded in recent years, but how does one determine which are based on sound theory and evidence? Hartley (organizational analysis, Warwick U.) and Bennington (emeritus, governance and public management, Warwick U.) point out six ways to evaluate leadership literature for application to the healthcare industry: leadership concepts, characteristics, contexts, challenges, capabilities, and consequences. The book is free of jargon and would be appropriate reading for those in other professions, such as government, police, education, and housing. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
