This timely Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and transdisciplinary overview of current research in the field of health leadership. Emphasising diverse perspectives and under-explored issues, it calls for a sustainable future embracing social justice, technological innovation and artificial intelligence, patient-centredness of care, and the fair treatment of workers.
With contributions from over 90 experts in the field, this Research Handbook includes a wide range of key debates in healthcare leadership, focusing specifically on including voices from the Global South. Chapters explore the historical development of leadership theories and practices in healthcare, and identify cutting-edge initiatives which will shape the future of the discipline. International case studies examine critical issues including the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, leadership of healthcare charities, and changes in the leadership contribution of healthcare professions in the 21st century. Addressing the challenging question of persistent variation in healthcare leadership quality, this Handbook scrutinises the impact of leadership at every level on an organisation’s culture.
This Research Handbook will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students in health policy and management, business leadership, and the sociology of work. It will also be beneficial for healthcare practitioners and policy makers looking to deepen their understanding of effective management in the field.

Critical Acclaim
‘Overall, Chambers’ Research Handbook for Leadership in Healthcare is a comprehensive guide to healthcare leadership theory, combining the prolific experience of its contributors to explore ways in which to turn theory into practicable results. Likely to become a key reference in healthcare leadership studies and the development of future leadership training programs, the book represents a valuable resource for established leaders and academics who seek to practice evidence-based leadership in the pursuit of more effective and more equitable healthcare systems.’
– Jamie Smyth and Charlotte Caroff, BMJ Leader
‘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.’
– Kees Ahaus, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
‘This comprehensive volume will be an important reference for scholars and researchers but also has much that will be of value to practising leaders in health care. The presentation of the theoretical components is wide-ranging, clear, and accessible and is combined with case studies and vignettes that bring it to life.’
– Nigel Edwards, Nuffield Trust, UK
‘This excellent major edited collection offers evidence-based insights into the complexity of healthcare leadership in turbulent times. International experts share research-based analysis of the context, theory and practice of leading health and care services and systems, together with a comprehensive set of international case studies of how best to develop healthcare leaders and leadership.’
