‘With this book, Naomi Chambers has brought together renowned scientists whose research contributes to the evidence that great leadership is the key to better patient experiences at a lower cost. I recommend this book to anyone seeking knowledge about how collective, compassionate, ethical, connective and transformational leadership can be applied in everyday practice, or to anyone who has this as a research interest. It is profound work that is most welcome in an era where the scarcity of healthcare professionals is already manifesting itself daily.’
