    5.0 out of 5 stars Good professional development guide
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2018
    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    An excellent and quite absorbing guide to every clinical facet of clinical leadership within nursing and healthcare. It's universally very good but of particular benefit to those wishing to progress up the ladder in a healthcare environment.
    It's very professionally laid out and full of constructive advice which would also be transferable to a number of different sectors. It's a good reference guide and provides a relevant and helpful aide to professional development.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and much needed introduction to Clinical Leadership
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2018
    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    Clinical leadership as the authors rightly point out is "everybody's business". Each healthcare professional is a "leader" in some respect as we all are bound by individually responsibility to the patients we care for. We have to answer to our regulatory bodies and the public for the decisions we make and we cant just blindly "follow orders" from our seniors if we don't agree with them and think they aren't in the best interests of our patients. What this book addresses though is the issue where clinically skilled healthcare professionals are promoted to leadership positions for which they have little training. The skills that make one an excellent nurse (for example) aren't necessarily the same that will make you an excellent manager. And in house managerial or leadership training is widely variable between organisations. So this book is much needed. It's a lengthy but great introduction to leadership and management theory. It is split over the following chapters: Defining Clinical Leadership, Leadership Theory, Followership, Congruent leadership, Management, Organisational culture, Managing change, Clinical decision making, creativity, team working. networking, dealing with conflict, Equity, reflection, project management, gender, politics, empowerment, and a final chapter of clinical heroes (leadership examples). While covering such a broad range of topics is great it does mean that there isn't really enough space to provide anything other than a cursory introduction - for instance only 2 pages for Quality Improvement and 6 for Project Management. The text could also have done with a bit more use of colour in the layout and colour photos or illustrations. I find plain black and white text quite off putting but that's a personal preference. In summary it's a great book and will best be used as an introductory/reference text alongside a personal development plan and wider reading on the subject for nurses and healthcare staff at all levels but especially those considering management or leadership roles in the future.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Accessible and broad in scope – well laid out book on leadership.

    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    I manage teams at my work, and my wife is moving into a leadership role in nursing, so together we looked at this book. It is a good quality paperback of nearly 400 pages, which seems daunting, but the book is well split up and it is easy using contents and index to zoom in on a specific topic if needed.
    Split into three sections (Clinical Leaders: Role Model's for Values into Action;
    Clinical Leadership Tools: How to influence Quality, Innovation and Change; and
    Clinical Leadership Issues: The Context of Values in action) with abundant chapter and sub chapter headings.
    There is an appropriate range of topics, which are covered in just enough detail to be useful, but not so in depth as to be daunting or dry. Indeed, the language is very accessible, and although the leadership topics apply to any leadership role, the book is well peppered with appropriate clinical examples. Finally, there are occasional exercises to help let the ideas discussed in the chapter absorb. There are illustrations, but to be honest I would have liked more – that is just my learning style, an image counts as a thousand words. But it’s a minor point, when the text is so easy to grapple with.
    All in all, this was surprisingly accessible and broad in its scope. Useful addition to the nursing book shelf…

    5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable personal development resource for all clinical disciplines
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2017
    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    Although the author is Australian, clinical leadership, values-based care and compassion are terms that will be familiar to nurses in the UK as contemporary practice development drivers. They also resonate with national strategy priorities for all areas of nursing an clinical practice more widely.
    Without effective leadership services stagnate and quality of care falls. This book provides a plethora of tools and techniques to support leadership and practice development. The strategies described are equally applicable to newly qualified nurses as they are to middle and senior managers and specialist nurses. Non-nursing clinicians will also find the contents interesting and applicable to their own leadership roles.
    It is an excellent resource which effectively covers attributes found in effective leaders, as well as key principles and values to use as touchstones when exercising leadership in practice.
    Areas explored include:
    ■Leadership and management theory
    ■Project management
    ■ Continuous quality improvement
    ■ Teamworking
    ■Change management
    ■ Decision making
    ■ Governance and evidence based practice
    ■Networking
    ■Managing conflict
    ■Networking
    Each chapter has a self-assessment section to enable the reader to reflect on their personal progress and consolidate their learning.
    Recommended.
