Περιγραφή

Written by two prominent and influential psychiatrists of international renown, Professors Norman Sartorius and Graham Thornicroft, Practical Leadership Skills is a highly pragmatic guide designed to boost the abilities of healthcare students and professionals to lead and achieve their goals.

The content in this book has been honed and tested over many years in the internationally acclaimed courses on leadership run by Professor Sartorius. Readers will gain essential, practical skills to become effective leaders, to work well with smaller and larger groups, and to work well when alone. Each skill is covered in a short chapter, along with case studies, examples, and key action points.

The professional skills covered in the book will help readers work better with colleagues, supervisors and students, and will increase competence, confidence and satisfaction at work. Practical Leadership Skills is ideal for early career researchers, doctors, psychologists, nurses, social workers and others working in allied health or human services.
