Follow the leader…

Civitas, 25 June 2009

More ridiculousness from the powers that be.  One year down the line the Department of Health has finally got round to fleshing out details of its ‘top leaders programme’; c. 1,000 ‘leaders’ (up, it seems, from the original 250 planned) drawn from 50 NHS-related organisations identified as ‘needing the most senior leaders’ to go on a fancy leadership development scheme.  You can only imagine the 1,000 clones walking out of the factory, primed in meeting the latest central initiative and playing the NHS game… or am I being overly cynical?!
