NHS managers/team leaders at (Agenda for Change) bands 6-8a directly supervise up to 80% of our NHS people. These “frontline” team leaders have an outsize influence on NHS performance.

For more on the latent power of frontline leaders, see, eg: bcg.com/publications/2… by @BCG.

Iain McGilchrist elegantly elucidates the flow of existence.
