Looking at the comments being made so far, there is a danger in repeating what we see so much in the media now, which is the negative generalisation of a large number of people.
There was always something curious about the nomination process for the Top Leaders programme and we all can think of people whose rise to the top is a triumph of ambition over talent.

However, many of our senior leaders continue to be people who are in the NHS for real public service values and who are bending backwards to integrate the conflicting political and organisational priorities they are facing. They're not perfect and neither would we be in their position.

What this article demonstrates again is that if the NHS develops and then treats its leaders with respect, many of the rest of us would notice the difference!!
