Career Paths of Chief Executives - Personal journeys and reflections

The NHS recognises that high quality leadership is pivotal to achieving excellence in service delivery and is committed to developing leaders who meet its diverse and evolving needs.

As part of its strategic framework for leadership development: Excellence in Leadership – Excellence in Health, NHS Yorkshire and the Humber (NHS Y & H) and all NHS organisations within the region were keen to promote their commitment to the development of inspirational leaders by encouraging talent that reflected both the diversity of the locality and the communities it served.

In support of this, the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) was commissioned to undertake research into how chief executives in the region had made it to the top in the NHS.

This document presents pen pictures of 21 chief executives in the region.
