Delivery Through Leadership: NHSScotland Leadership Development Framework

Appendix 1 : Leadership, Management and Teamwork

The 'ideal' leader is able to combine leading transformational change with transactional management - both are needed to deliver services in an era of change. An individual's strengths may be greater as a leader or as a manager, however, but through teamwork, a group of individuals can provide the blend of ability to drive transformational change and deliver it.
