Some of HSJ’s top 50 chief executives answer pertinent questions about NHS leadership
Top 50 chief executives 2018: read the roundtable report
NHS leaders are changing. The chief executive of today is less likely to be “male, pale and stale” than in the past with many more women in the top job and a small (but hopefully growing) number of BME chief executives.
But what are the skills needed to lead organisations in the complex world of today’s NHS? Are chief executives running mental health, ambulance and community trusts more likely to develop and model these behaviours than their counterparts in acute trusts? And do women chief executives display some of these skills more often than men?
We asked some of our top 50 chief executives these questions in a roundtable debate sponsored by Korn Ferry – and also what they do as leaders to inspire and motivate their staff at such a tough time. Click here for the entire Top 50 Chief Executives 2018 list
