title: Vision of success.
abstract: I never wanted to be a head of midwifery - I found myself in the position by default after I took a secondment role at a London trust that had previously been placed in special measures. I enjoyed the challenge and found my passion as a transformational leader. I reflected on my leadership approach, learned a lot and adopted new techniques for managing people.
