Carolyn Mason takes a look at different leadership styles and examines what attributes successful leaders have
One of the most inspiring leaders I have ever met is a district nurse in a small rural Irish border town. Her office has no computer, but it is warm and inviting, and when you go in she makes you feel welcome and special. She is passionate about district nursing and her team. She has a clear picture of what she and her team are there to create: a community where vulnerable older people, people with chronic illnesses and people with disabilities and acute illnesses can be supported to live at home with the best possible quality of health and life, in sometimes isolated houses and farms with little social contact or help.
