Careful Leadership: How Your Leadership Can Create Safe, Compassionate And Effective Healthcare

Do you work in healthcare as a doctor, nurse or allied health professional? Or perhaps your job-title includes the word supervisor or manager? If so, then this book is written for you. Despite the recognised importance of leadership, and especially the impact of first-level leaders -- who sit traditionally at the bottom of an organisation chart -- few healthcare organisations systematically provide leadership training to those who are new to the job. In this compact and accessible book Dr Hamblin-Brown offers such healthcare leaders some direct and practical advice using examples and exercises that anyone can follow. Dr Hamblin-Brown has many years of experience both as a senior emergency doctor and international physician leader. He has also spent several years outside healthcare where he worked to coach and develop leaders in other fields. CAREFUL Leadership distils leadership into seven qualities which can be learned and actively developed as skills. Using these skills, healthcare professionals can direct their energy more effectively to improve the care of patients. The book discusses the psychology of leadership as well as the basic approaches needed to influence and manage both peers and teams. This is a companion and follow-up to Dr Hamblin-Brown's previous book, The Meaning of CAREFUL, which discussed the issue of culture in healthcare institutions. Taken together, these two books can help organisations and individuals address the pressing need for better leadership in healthcare.
