Are leaders born or made? This book aims to show that the answer is somewherein the middle: certain leadership skills are innate whereas others can be learned.Multiple skills and factors make a successful clinical leader who is capable of doingthe best for their patients and of making the most of the available resources. The psychiatric profession must ensure that its next generation of leaders has theappropriate skills mix and is fully aware of both theoretical and practical aspectsof leadership. The future will bring new challenges for clinicians and clinicalleaders, including the impact of globalization and urbanization, new technologies,health becoming a commodity and competing demands for shrinking resources.Developing leadership skills and leaders is critical in order to optimise the use ofresources, their application, service planning and delivery of services which thepatients and their families will use. This is the first book on leadership (rather than management skills) in the medicalprofession to focus specifically on psychiatry and mental health care. Contributionsfrom international experts with clinical and non-clinical backgrounds pull togetherthe theories and practical skills required to be a successful leader. The aim is toguide mental health professionals in general and psychiatrists in particular on howto gain the relevant skills and on how to utilise these skills and training to take onleadership roles in clinical and organisational settings. The book covers the role of the leader and the skills required for leadership,including chapters on communication, decision-making, team development,mentoring, gender issues in leadership, burnout and more. A section on assessmenttools and learning material is also included. Edited by acknowledged leaders in psychiatry who are the current and futurePresidents of the World Psychiatric Association, this book is essential reading forall those who aspire to lead in psychiatry

“We may agree with the notion that almost every psychiatrist may have the potential and possibility of leading. Let’s hope that those who are, or become, our leaders study this book, learn from it, and do the right things.”  (Acad Psychiatry, 31 July 2014)
