Moral Leadership in Medicine: Building Ethical Healthcare Organisations

by Suzanne Shale

My analysis of moral leadership is based on research into the experiences of NHS Medical Directors, interviewed... more My analysis of moral leadership is based on research into the experiences of NHS Medical Directors, interviewed between 2006 & 2009. I start by arguing that ethical discourse in general would be enriched if we paid more attention to the concrete practices through which moral commitments are implemented. Focusing on the specific case of moral leadership in healthcare organisations, I argue medical ethics not only needs to pay more attention to moral practice but it also needs to attend to the moral challenges that confront healthcare organisations as corporate entities. I identify five central sets of medical leadership values and examine the behaviours associated with them, which I call fiduciary, bureaucratic, collegial, inquisitorial and reparative propriety. I then consider how these 'proprieties' unavoidably come into conflict in healthcare organisations. The practice of moral leadership is thus essentially about promoting organisational narratives capable of holding these conflicts and tensions in balance. Analysing the organisational ethical challenges medical directors identified, I propose that a central concern of moral leaders in ethical healthcare organisations must be protecting patients from harm and morally managing medical harm when it inevitably occurs. I conclude with discussion of how medical ethical education must change to equip future clinicians with practical ethical skills.

Religion and the Health of the Public: Shifting the Paradigm

Co-authored with Gary Gunderson, published by Palgrave MacMillan, NY; released March 13. Available on Amazon.com.

Its... more Religion and the Health of the Public fills a major gap in academic literature on religion and public health. Its innovative concepts provide a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding and working on the interface between religion and public health. It draws on global health history and practice - from London's 1854 cholera outbreak, to HIV in Africa today, to large and novel hospital and congregational partnerships in the Memphis. Calling for "deep accountability" by religious and public health leaders, it deals with the embodied religious mind, religious health assets, leading causes of life, boundary leadership, congregate strengths, and a healthy political economy - all in the service of transformation.

CONTENTS:
1. Seeing Differently: Changing the Paradigm of the Health of the Public
2. The Health of the Public and the Religious Mind: Connections and Disconnections
3. Religious Health Assets: What Religion Brings to Health of the Public
4. Leading Causes of Life: Pathology in its Place
5. Seeking Health: Persons, Bodies and Choices
6. People who Congregate: Building on Strengths
7. Boundary Leadership: Embodying Complexity in Turbulence
8. The Challenge of Systems
9. Religion and the Health of the Public: Deep Accountability

"Examples of effective partnerships between public health" and religious leaders are numerous, but we have lacked a conceptual map to help us understand their common values and shared intelligence. Gunderson and Cochrane offer us an important map that helps us to see our communities and our work in a wholly new way, challenging the status quo." -- James W. Curran, Dean of Public Health, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University

"No field needs a new paradigm more than healthcare, which is exactly what Gunderson and Cochrane offer us in this timely volume." -- Bob Waller, ex-CEO and President, Mayo Clinic

"Gunderson and Cochrane are doing a global health physical check-up. ... Read this book and you will not only feel better, you'll do better. In fact, you might end up doing a lot of good." -- Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Chicago Theological Seminary

"This profound book offers religious and public health leaders vital resources for increasing mutual understanding and focusing constructive cooperation in service of healthy people within healthy societies." -- Most Rev. Dr Thabo Makgoba, Anglican Archibiship of Cape Town

"To anyone interested in salutogenic conceptions of health, it is mandatory reading." -- Ola Sigurdson, Director of the Centre for Culture and Health, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

'There is currently no clear map of how local and national government can work together to encourage sustainable living. This report identifies the obstacles and barriers to delivering sustainable development at the local level. Drawing on a range of information, Seeing the bigger picture reviews what sustainable development actually means in government, and why providing coherence and consistency is vital.

It identifies how government policies and performance requirements – at both the central and local level – might be better shaped for the future. The authors suggest that a new public service ethos that embraces lasting changes is needed in order to inspire greater government commitment at all levels. They conclude with a review of the implications for policy.

This philosophy of life of the Basoga derives from the fact that eye see but never eat, instead its the taste of the inner heart or person that 'eats' or consumes the vision so to say. This story is about life as it is lived in a basic community with people interacting with each other and some behaving well while others are not well behaved. The beautiful bride who steals on her first night in marriage is considered weak hearted. Beauty is more than skin deep and in choosing ideal partners and leaders for that matter people should consider the heart's feelings and not just the face value.

Japan's Politics and Economy: Perspectives on Change

While this criticism may be valid... more For some time Japan has been under fire for adjusting too slowly to new realities. While this criticism may be valid on some levels, Japan has been transforming in tandem with both regional and global forces. However, these changes have been largely overshadowed by the immense changes in Asia; including the rise of China, the 1997 Southeast Asian financial crisis and North Korea's development of nuclear weapons. Has Japan, the world's second largest economy, only been muddling through?

In this volume the contributors show that although the challenges faced are great, Japan is changing in areas ranging from political leadership, education policy, official development assistance, peace building and security, to defence production, business associations and innovation policy. The book analyses processes of change, focusing on the dynamics of change - rather than structural change or institutional change per se - from four levels: the individual, domestic, regional and global. Forces from outside Japan, such as a changing world order and changes in power relationships in Asia, have driven change along with pressures emerging within Japan, such as the increasing power of public opinion and competitiveness within markets.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Japanese and Asian Studies, Politics, International Relations, Globalization, Business and Economics.

1. Introduction: Dynamics of Change Patricia A. Nelson and Marie Söderberg
