Top Leaders - From Good to Great

With a health service system as large and complex as the UK’s, the consensus for a more systematic approach to how we identify talent and develop leadership is ever increasing.

In association with the National Leadership Council, HSJ provides a supplement which includes an introduction to the Top Leaders programme and a list of the leaders selected so far - from good to great.

The programme, designed to be a national element of a talent management process, supports and acts as a resource to those who already hold the biggest, most complex and challenging roles, as well as those who have the potential to take on bigger, key positions and responsibilities. It recognises the new qualities required to be a great leader, and how it is necessary to collaborate with other organisations in order to succeed.

Great leaders inspire their people to deliver willingly more than they could ever have otherwise done. And the NHS is not short of such talented, committed, hard-working leaders who go the extra mile every day to help their teams make services better for patients.

"The National Leadership Council recognises the huge contribution that leadership makes to patient care and has created a range of supporting programmes - a board development programme, programmes for emerging and clinical leaders, a programme to support the inclusion of leaders from diverse backgrounds and a programme for our most senior leaders, the Top Leaders Programme."

Dame Barbara Hakin - champions the Top Leaders Programme and is chief executive of NHS East Midlands
