1/2
Up until some point in time the NHS had a General Management Training Scheme which selected and trained promising senior managers from across all disciplines. (I attended two selection weeks and was rejected both times!)
This ensured that senior managers understood the complexities of the NHS in its entirety not just the silo they were managing at the time, and promoted within.
This scheme moved good people beyond bein Administrators into being Managers.
What we have now seems to be are silo administrators who are fire fighters (due to lack of resources) rather than people who can see and manage the big picture.
The NHS is stuffed full of excellent individuals who aren't able to fulfil any sort of promise. They need to have the head space to go above & beyond the day job.
Instead expensive managers (& management consultants) are parachuted in from outside to do yet more firefighting without the inside knowledge.
