Performing Leadership
The notion that leadership involves performance is not new, but there has been little detailed exploration of the implications of theories of performance for contemporary leadership practice. This article differentiates between leadership `is' performance and leadership `as 'performance as one means of investigating contemporary leadership. We suggest that this distinction allows for more sustainable accounts of the relationships between leaders,…
Is leadership and management in inter-agency settings really that different? Perspectives from the literature
Introduction: Health and social care collaboration is currently a key feature of improvement efforts internationally. Moreover, leadership is increasingly considered an important driver in terms of organisational performance, in particular in relation to the implementation of policy designed to solve the wicked issues of society. Yet, despite leadership being viewed as an essential component of integrative public sector performance, there is rela…
Performing Governance
This paper explores the governance of complex public sector partnerships through a detailed case study of a Joint Commissioning Partnership Board (JCPB) in the South East of England. It argues that a theoretical and empirical focus on the instrumental roles of boards has resulted in an under‐appreciation of their symbolic purposes, especially in the context of the governance of inter‐organizational relationships. The paper considers the performat…
Evaluating partnerships
Partnerships are designed to facilitate the negotiation and delivery of public programmes cutting across the boundaries of a fragmented organisational landscape. This paper makes an empirical contribution to the study of the outcomes of partnership working, reporting results from a detailed United Kingdom case study of mental health services integration. It considers the county-wide establishment of a range of partnerships between a county counci…

New Labour's modernization in the public sector
Five accounts of New Labour's style of public management reform can be identified in the recent academic literature. Although each has merits, none is wholly convincing. After a discussion of their scope and limits, this article offers a distinctive account, grounded in wider social theory, which also synthesizes the most valuable elements in the five mainstream accounts. The article then uses the case of New Labour's reforms of the mental health…
Mergers and Acquisitions in the Private Sector
In seeking a more seamless provision of health and social care, the government is promoting the merger of the functions of primary and community health services and social services. In the private sector, mergers have been commonplace. The primary aim of this paper is to identify the key concepts and explanatory frameworks in the literature on mergers and acquisitions in the private sector that are relevant to the development of new organizationa…
Governance of partnership between health and social services
As one part of a larger study of the integration of mental health and social care, the present paper explores the role of the Joint Commissioning Board in the governance arrangements for health and social partnership in Somerset, UK. A short review of the literature on joint planning and joint commissioning revealed that such partnership has proved problematic, and that the role of non-executive directors and councillors is usually overlooked. Fu…
Evaluation of community mental health services
Alongside mental health policies emphasising the need to focus on people experiencing serious, long-term problems, recent general healthcare policy is leading to the development in the UK of a primary care-led National Health Service. While most primary care-led mental health initiatives have focused on supporting general practitioners (GPs) in managing milder depression and anxiety, this article describes an evaluation comparing primary care-bas…

Provider arrangements for mental health services in ‘The New NHS’
Mental health services in England, in common with many other European countries, have been the subject of sustained government attention during the 1990s. Since the election of the Labour administration in Britain in May 1997, mental health services have been discussed in most Department of Health documents on health and social care policy, and mental health services in England have a new national strategy. At the same time, the local provision o…
Piths, Pearls, and Provocation
Although qualitative research has considerable strengths both in assessing the effectiveness of organizational models of health care provision and in contributing to their development, its impact on local and national decision making in the United Kingdom appears to be negligible. This article examines three obstacles to the acceptance of qualitative research, illustrating some ways around them drawn from recent research at the Centre for Mental …
Consolidating Learning From Experience
The article describes an experiential learning programme at the University School of Education, Newcastle upon Tyne, in which teams of postgraduate trainee teachers undertook problem solving placements in local businesses and public services. The evaluation revealed a contrast between high general satisfaction levels and low perceived relevance to teaching. This is analysed and discussed in relation to the perceptions student teachers develop dur…
