Leadership in Health Care: A European Perspective

by Neil Goodwin

Overview

This unique text is the first to explore leadership in the context of healthcare systems across Europe.

Written by leading authority Neil Goodwin, this timely book provides an assessment of the literature as well as practical guidance for developing personal leadership. It includes case studies and examples and is a must-buy for all students studying health management, leadership and public management as well as professionals within health services across Europe.
