title: Managerial effectiveness in the NHS. A possible framework for considering the effectiveness of the clinical director.
abstract: Examines managerial effectiveness in the NHS, in particular the effectiveness of the clinical director. Based on a qualitative study of an NHS Trust hospital case study, utilizes a social cognitive perspective to analyse the data and draw conclusions. Uses the data to suggest a possible framework for examining the effectiveness of individual directors. The framework may be relevant to other messages, particularly those in professional service organizations. It may also be used as a diagnostic tool to assess these managers. The framework is grounded in the perceptions of the interviewees at the Trust: both clinical directors and managers.
