Really great article, Clare - as always you made me think. With the workforce in the NHS being 70% female (this includes primary care), we need role models that demonstrate you can be successful as a female or a male leader with attributes that are more usually associated with being female. Attributes such as kindness and compassion, having the guts to change one's mind when the circumstances change, and not being afraid to say sorry when you make a mistake or something goes wrong. Not to mention juggling home and career. Men can do these things just as well as women, we just need to encourage and support them.
