If a government created database of 'failed NHS managers' come into being it will be deeply ironic, not to mention hypocritical, given that the investigation into the 'blacklisting' database of 3,000 contruction workers who were prevented from being taken on for Olympic building projects was driven by MPs.

Agree, that a positive reigister which enables managers to show that they have good management skills and use these effectively over time, in whichever organisation they work for, would be a better idea. A bit like having to keep up your professional registration if you are a nurse etc. and should be seen as part of continuing professional development - which is in the interest of both the person and the organisation.

I guess this next bit will be unpopular to suggest - but if the major burden of maintaining the cost of competence registration falls to the individual, the overall burden on the taxpayer would not be so great. This is common practice in many different professions already.
