The concept of leadership has been studied in various disciplines and from different theoretical approaches. It is a dynamic concept that evolves over time. There are few studies in our field on managers’ self-perception of their leadership style. There are no pure styles, but one or another style is generally favoured to a greater or lesser degree. In the primary health care (PHC) setting, managers’ leadership style is defined as a set of attitudes, behaviours, beliefs and values. The objectives of this study were to describe and learn about the self-perception of behaviours and leadership styles among PHC managers; to determine the influence of the leadership style on job satisfaction, efficiency, and willingness to work in a team; and to determine the relationship between transformational and transactional styles according age, gender, profession, type of manager years of management experience, and the type of organization.

Published in association with NHS Clinical Commissioners, NHS Confederation and the Local Government Association, New Care Models and Staff Engagement: All Aboard aims to help spread the learning from the vanguard programme across the health and care sector.
Looks at collaboration in UK healthcare and what makes it successful or unsuccessful. The authors sought the views of some NHS CEOs and 'prominent industry figures'. Leadership came up as an issue.
NHS England’s guidance is clear that clinical director roles in PCNs can be held be GPs, general practice nurses, clinical pharmacists or other clinical professionals working in general practice. So why might it be that primary care leaders aren’t more professionally diverse?
