Policy reviewPublishedLeadershipEngland

Better leadership for tomorrow

Lord Rose · work from 2014 · published 2015

What this was

Review of leadership in NHS hospitals in England. It described a crowded centre, short-tenure chief executives, and too little systematic talent management.

Why it sits in the hub

Messenger in 2022 and Thirlwall in 2026 are still making the case for a serious management profession. Rose is where that case was put in the language of talent and careers.

Findings

  1. Finding 1

    NHS management was not treated as a profession with a shared standard and a career path.

    Accountability of managersLeadership and boards
