Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Leadership and management are increasingly considered important drivers in terms of organisational performance. Yet, despite being viewed as essential components of partnership working, there is relatively little thoughtful work analysing the relationship between the two sets of ideas. Leadership and management in partnership settings are simultaneously represented as being both the same and yet different to these roles in more traditional settings. What this means in practice is that much of the literature appears somewhat confused - posing practical difficulties for leaders and managers of partnerships who are looking for evidence or guidance. Against this background, this book provides a robust introduction to the leadership and management of partnerships. It summarises recent trends in policy, establishes what we can learn from research and practice and sets out useful frameworks and approaches to address a range of problems that partnerships face.Overall, it will aid policy makers, managers and practitioners by providing a realistic account of the main characteristics and expectations of leadership and management in partnerships. Short, accessible and designed for every day use, the text is primarily aimed at students, practitioners, managers and policy makers in health organisations and local government. "Better Partnership Working" series - This exciting series of accessible 'how to' books provides an essential introduction to partnership working. Designed to be short and easy to use, the books offer practical support to those working in partnership and provide helpful frameworks to make sense of the complexity which partnership working entails. Summarising current policy and research in a detailed but accessible manner, each book provides practical, evidence-based recommendations invaluable for policy and practice.
